“I‘m not worthy! I’m not worthy!” – decor8
I bow and express major thankage to Alec, the Editor of Apartment Therapy LA for featuring decor8 on their amazing design website. When I first saw the write-up (Jan 11), I was a bit taken back since my blog just got off the ground a few days prior. “Ex-squeeze me?”, I thought. I had no idea anyone even read it yet, much less the Apartment Therapy guys. I was blown away by such a wonderful welcome, and Alec’s shout out to the Apartment Therapy community about decor8 drove a ton of traffic and emails my way, so again, many thanks to them for helping put me on the blog map. I’ve added them to my links in the left column under, “blog your brains out”.
Here’s what they said:
We just got news of a new design blog out of Boston called decor8 and wanted to say, ?Go pahk ya cah in Havahd yahd!? which is our hometown way of saying, ?welcome to the community!?
The blog is run by decor8Holly who has a good eye for brightly colored and super usable furnishings. Each post comes with it?s own little essay, which allows the viewer to understand not only Holly?s taste, but her views and opinions as well. We are sure we will be slinking our New England blog sister often!
Good luck!

Ahhhh….it’s about time. I’ve been reading Apartment Therapy for a while now, despite living in Boston. Glad to see the talent is local!

Thank you! Please email me if you find some fresh new stores or great Boston-area fresh finds. I’ll consider posting them on here for the local crew! I’m trying to primarily focus on web-based finds so I’m not a Boston exclusive blog, but I’m happy to post Boston stores/indie artists/etc. that have websites so people in various states can also benefit. SO HAPPY YOU FOUND DECOR8!!!

Gekko – thank you! I post fresh finds daily so I’m sure I can help empty your wallet in no time. The bad side of blogging, all the money *I* spend on these neat things! :)

Yes, AT rules. That’s why I took their advice and found you. I never learned so much in so little time. Don’t stop. America needs to be educated!
