Do you remember when I mentioned I had an exciting announcement? I can hardly believe I’m able to tell you this:
Our DIY paper floor treatment is featured in the April edition of Cottages & Bungalows!!
It’s been killing me to keep it under wraps, especially when I’ve heard that other people had already seen it, but I had to wait for my copies- just to make sure it was for real. *smile*
See that blue circle on the bottom? The title “Creative Flooring” is our article- we even made a mention on the cover- yea!
This is pretty cool, isn’t it? We used pictures from our daughter’s room instead of our son’s, as it shows more of the floor in her room (plus I like the furniture better!).
I was expecting a two page layout, so I was surprised to see we have four pages total- two for the intro and two to show the steps.
Those are my hands, too- does that make me a hand model now?
I’d like to thank everyone at the magazine for featuring us- especially Jickie for all her work and prompt answering of all my questions.
AND for providing April issues to give away PLUS four year-long subscriptions to Cottages & Bungalows magazines for readers of An Oregon Cottage! Isn’t that great?
So be sure to check back Friday for a chance to win the April issue plus a year’s subscription.

I believe a cottage can be anywhere or anything (condo, ranch, farmhouse) as long as you have a "cottage mentality" which puts people above things, celebrates imperfections, embraces simplicity, and finds joy in everyday life. Thanks for joining me!
I know a star! Awesome accomplishment, Jami!
How exciting, congratulations..You’re Famous!!
So cool, Jami! It really is the most unique floor technique I’ve seen yet. I’ll have to see if there’s a copy of the mag next time I run errands
That is so awesome!! Congrats to you!!
You must be SO excited!! That’s absolutely fantastic news. Congrats!
Congratulations! I am working on the hubby to do this in our house-I love those floors!!!
Congratulations!!! I remember getting to your blog thanks to your video on the “kraft paper floor” that someone shared with me. You’re an inspiration for me.
SO EXCITING!! Congrats!
That is so fun!! Wow.
And here I was so excited that we had a tiny column in the Statesman Journal. You’ve inspired me to shoot bigger
Congratulations! That is awesome!
Wow! How fun is that? Congrats.
How very exciting! Congratulations – well done!
That is so much fun! Congratulations! Did you submit the idea to the magazine or did they find you through a web search? What great exposure for you!
Congratulations, Jami! I always that that floor treatment was a stroke of genius.
Congrats!
Yahoo! Congratulations Jami… I am really excited for you… I’ll look for the magazine.
Thanks so much everyone!
Krista- They found me on the web and approached me about doing the article.
Heather- Wait to see if you win one of the issues in the giveaway!
Big congrats! What a great accomplishment!
Wonderful! Congratulations!
That is so exciting! I’m trying to get up the nerve to try this idea myself!

That is awesome! One of my fave magazines! I sit here in my bungalow flipping through pages all the time! Congratulations!!!
Wow! Congratulations on the feature!
I want to try this floor treatment. I just need to enlist someone to help me.
Wow! I don’t buy this magazine every time it comes out, even though I love it, but I bought this issue based entirely on your floor idea and the how-to! I’m going to do my living room, which actually should be totally refloored but I figure all the glue and poly will buy me a few more years!
Bonnie- Great idea, I think you will really like how it can “buy you more time” in your living room.
Don’t forget about our video on the technique before you start your project- it’s a lot more detailed than the magazine and walks you through all the steps.
