Exquisitely Unremarkable Has Been Nominated

August 10, 2015

This post may contain affiliate links, which means if you purchase something via one of my links, I may make a small commission.


Apparently, there is someone out there who loves red just as much as I do...and they like the way I present that color, and a few others, so much, that they have nominated me for an Amara Interior Blog Award.

Yup. Little old me.

I actually had to read the email several times to confirm that I am one of eleven blogs to be nominated in the category of Best Colour Inspiration Blog. I'm so excited, I never get nominated for anything at my other job...best bed maker, best dishwasher emptier, best carpool driver. Nope. Nothing.

So this is kind of big deal.




If you'd like to check it out and vote, you can click here.

I normally hide behind my tulips, but not on the award page.

It's just me.

No tulips.

Nothing red.

Ironic, isn't it?

Ps~ If you are that someone I referred to earlier, the person who likes my blog and use of color enough that you took the time to nominate me, thank you. I really am humbled, flattered and truly grateful.


Hey, while you're there check out my friends Brenda from Cozy Little House and Benita from Chasing Quaintness! They've been nominated, too!!

      Kari, I am truly addicted to red. I just love the color. There is something very visceral about it's appeal, I think it should be the 1st place color...and thank you for your lovely words and vote! :)
