My First Writing Assignment For HGTV.com!

I was completely thrilled to receive an email recently from the decorating editor at HGTV.com, asking if I would be interested in writing an article for their Design Guide, Easy Updates For Kids' Rooms.

Well, what do you think my response was? Yes, of course! Here is the article.
