Week At A Glance (and a bit of administrative stuff)

I hope your first full week of the New Year was a wonderful one! The end of 2008 was so hectic for me, so I feel as if I’m starting off this year a bit behind and having to play catch-up.

Here’s what happened this week on A2D:

Happy 2009! It’s Gonna Be Great!: A bit of a preview of things to come on A2D.

DIY Project:: Vintage-Inspired Hostess Apron–An easy-to-make apron. Give it a try!

Green Design:: Reclaimed Wood Panels from B + N Industries–Wall panels with fantastic designs.

2009 Interior Decorating Trends–What I really think about trends.

Jennifer Squires:: 2009 Desk Calendar–A gorgeous calendar featuring the photography of Jennifer Squires.

Songs in White–A closer look at white used in interior decorating. (a post by A2D contributor Azra Momin)

Travel + Leisure World’s Best Hotel 2009–A look at a hotel that’s truly worthy of the title “World’s Best”.

Two-Car Garage Turned Art Studio–The creative space of artist Shannon Christensen.

And one small administrative detail…

I’ve switched to a new commenting system from a third-party provider (I’ve never liked Blogger’s commenting options). This new system may take a bit of getting used to, but I think the benefits will far outweigh the initial hassle.

With this new commenting system, the comments are threaded, meaning that you can comment directly on another person’s comment and reply directly to other people. Also, you can create a profile, upload a photo (which takes about two seconds), and even receive personal messages from other users. So please bear with me during the transition phase. I think it’ll be a good switch.

Happy decorating!
