Hello you gorgeous souls, all 513 of you (and a warm welcome to the newbies!). The pixies are sleeping soundly (Joshie's camped out on the couch for reasons best known to himself) and I'm eager to finish my Blogging Your Way 2.0 homework. Holly has invited us to share more about our lives with our readers. Given you Planetarians echoed her request in my recent survey, I thought I'd oblige by recording my first ever vlog! It's a bit of a leap of faith, putting myself 'out there' but I hope you enjoy it (and that Sam calling out in the background isn't audible!).
I've recorded it in *my room of my own* and walked around it to give you a better idea of its layout.
YouTube has edited out a tiny bit between looking at my Blackwood desk and returning to look at the book - sorry about that.
So, here I am! Do have a peek and then pop back here to see some of my favourite photos from the book.
- Furniture and space;
- Storage and shelving;
- Task lighting; and
- Decoration.
- Home offices;
- Shared spaces;
- Sewing, craft and artists' rooms; and
- Children and teens.
At the book's end, there is a most informative and detailed list of all the architects, artists, designers and business owners featured. It's a wonderful resource all of its own.
I find the layout such a treat to pore over with its sensibly chosen chapter topics.
Australians can find the best price for it over at the brilliant Booko site - you can see here that Abe Books is selling it for $AUD23.95 - a steal for 176 pages of beautifully written prose and delightful photos.
So, sweet Planetarians, what's the verdict on my vlog? Could you hear it? I'm such a newbie so all (constructive) critiques are welcome! Is my room bigger than you thought? And do you think you might be tempted to buy the book? I can't wait to hear your thoughts - let me know what you think.

Do you let the pixies in your room? Is it out-of-bounds? Is there a lock on the door? I'm interested because I'd love my own room, but fear it's the bus, to-and-from-work, which I'll have to settle with for a space of solace.
How did you video your v-log? i-phone?

Your room really does look so much bigger in the flesh, I am a little envious of your gorgeous space.
I am loving the look of this book, will have to add it to my list.
