If you love Traditional Home, you’ll love the online sister publication TradHome. The Spring 2012 issue has just debuted and features a full 235 pages of articles and photos to drool over. Best of all, you don’t need a subscription!
Don’t miss MirrorMate’s new ad on page 59 too. Here’s a quick look before you hop over to the issue. Happy reading!
After a post by one of our favorite bloggers, Centsational Girl, about the “What’s Your Color Personality” quiz on the Better Homes & Gardens’ site, I decided to take it too. And I tell you, I think it’s pretty spot-on. Beach-colors are totally me, and the quiz agreed!
If you want to find out what your color personality is, try taking the quiz here. It’s a great jumping off point for your next painting project. Perhaps a new color on the walls and a MirrorMate frame for a quick and easy bathroom re-do?!
Thanks to Good Housekeeping for including us in the March 2012 issue…the one with Kelly Ripa on the front (who by the way has a MirrorMate frame on her dressing room mirror!!)
You can find MirrorMate in the article “Redo Your Loo!” that includes “simple revamps you can do yourself.” You can check out the full article here… Good Housekeeping March 2012 and the MirrorMate inclusion below.
The Good Housekeeping Research Institute also posted a feature on MirrorMate over the summer on their blog that we thought we’d share again here. We appreciate the support from these amazing experts in the field of home products!

A couple weeks ago, MirrorMate President Lisa Huntting and uber-talented design blogger Emily A. Clark took a trip to Greensboro, NC to have some new photography shot for MirrorMate. The studio, Tribuzio-Hillard, is located near High Point and has done photography for big names in the industry so we were very excited to utilize their expertise. Between Tribuzio-Hillard’s expert photographer and designer, and Emily’s help styling each shot just right we are thrilled with the results and so excited to share with you a sneak peek of the photos. In the coming weeks these will be put into use with a redesigned website, as well as in ads in Elle Decor, Traditional Home and more. Below are eight of our most popular frames that were photographed. We hope you find them inspiring!

Last post we talked about the trend toward using yellow in the home, and the way the color can enliven and brighten a space. To quote our great blogger friend, Emily A. Clark, we looked to Pinterest for a little “Pinspiration” with a simple search for yellow bathrooms, and boy did we find some! Here are some that would definitely make for a sunny start to the day, no matter the weather.
Are you feeling “pinspired” yet? 
The Associated Press recently ran a story on the trend toward using yellow in the home. Who couldn’t use a little dose of the sunniest color in the palette at this time of year? Why not add a pop in some pillows, rugs, or towels.

French Dot Shower Curtain from Garnet Hill

Perhaps even paint a dresser or vanity cabinet in a yellow for an easy, and inexpensive way to make a big statement!

What a cheerful way to start the day!
Have you been on Pinterest yet? It’s an “online pinboard to organize and share the things you love.” You need to request an invitation on the site. Once you get one emailed to you, you’ll be ready to start your own pinboard. We’re just loving checking out others’ boards and getting some great inspiration. You can search for anything you’re interested in from holiday decor to party ideas to, of coarse, bathroom remodels! Check out all the people who have pinned MirrorMate to their own pinboards…how cool!
Have fun just exploring the site. Here’s a link to a search for bathrooms to get your creative juices flowing for the new year!
The Color of 2012, according to Pantone, is Tangerine Tango. It’s a beautiful orangey-red shade that’s bright and optimistic. You’ll find it in makeup, in the fashion world and as an accent in home decor.
A fun place to try adding some pops of this color in the home are on pillows, throws, rugs, bedding, towels and accent walls. Here’s a mood board we pulled together from images on Pinterest to help inspire you with this latest trend in color.
With the New Year comes the unveiling of the new HGTV Dream Home. The 2012 home is Park City, Utah – in a beautiful place to ski and visit. Here’s a look at three bathrooms in the mountain home. To see more of each bath, and the rest of the beautiful home, visit HGTV.com. (Photo credit: HGTV)
