The "You've Made My Day" award goes to……

Happy Valentines everyone! Pam over at Retro Renovation nominated me for “You’ve Made My Day” – isn’t that totally sweet! I’m just sad I can’t nominate her back, her blog gives me a smile every day – for example, you HAVE to watch this video!

Anyway, my nominations for the “You’ve Made My Day Award” (and it was tough to pick…like picking between you’re children! 🙂 )

Here are the obligatory “rules” that go with these sorts of posts…
The ‘you make my day award’ works like this:
1) Write a post with links to 5 blogs that make me think and/or make my day
2) Acknowledge the post of the award giver
3) Tell the award winners that they have won by commenting on their blogs with the news!

Name this Architectural style

One of my readers, Brian, wants to know if this is Mid Century Modern? I’m not familiar with the style, so I thought I’d throw this out to all of you, my brilliant panel of experts! The house was built in 1957, so at least it’s the right time period! If it helps – he just sent this second photo!
