I recently had the thrill of a life to walk into a store, open up a magazine and see a picture of my kitchen inside!
It’s all thanks to my recent partnership with The Tile Shop!
A few months ago Megan and Brian (two hotties from The Tile Shop’s corporate office) made the trip to Madison for our house’s first photo shoot! Pictures from the shoot along with a recap of our DIY tile backsplash project were showcased on The Tile Shop’s website during the month of March in their Blogger Spotlight.
On top of that, the pictures are also currently being used in The Tile’s Shop’s nationwide magazine ad campaign!
I still can’t believe it.
A week ago I walked into my favorite little grocery co-op on my city’s east side, opened up Madison Magazine, and saw this:
A Tile Shop ad featuring our kitchen, my words, my face, and my blog.
Talk about surreal!
I bought 3 copies (how do you decide what’s a good number for something like this?!) and giddily (albeit nervously!) showed the page to my check-out lady when she inquired, “Why three?”
Then, to add to my thrill, yesterday I received a copy of Cincinnati Magazine – sent to me by my incredibly thoughtful friend Jenna who lives in Ohio, featuring my kitchen in a FULL PAGE Tile Shop magazine ad!
WHA?!
Megan (the hottie from corporate) informed me the ads are running in regional magazines in all of their target markets across the country…which basically means – if you have a Tile Shop in your area, pick up a copy of your city’s magazine and you’ll see it!
The Tile Shop’s largest markets, which will be featuring their full-page magazine ad, are:
- Chicago Magazine
- Chicago Home and Garden
- Washingtonian
- Philadelphia Magazine
- Pittsburgh Magazine
- Cincinnati Magazine
- Atlanta Magazine
- Milwaukee Magazine
- St. Louis Magazine
- Indianapolis Magazine
- Charlotte Magazine
Smaller ads (as seen in the second picture above) can be found in their smaller markets like Madison, Kansas City, Nashville, Long Island, and Buffalo.
It’s such an incredible experience, and I’m so excited to represent The Tile Shop like this!
You can check out other bloggers featured in The Tile Shop’s Blogger Spotlight, including House*Tweaking, Young House Love, and more to come! Thank you so much, Tile Shop, for showcasing real people and real DIY projects – as a blogger and a consumer it’s such a thrill to see!



That’s amazing, ill look out for it if I see a Washingtonian around.
Thanks Diana! I’d love to hear if you see it!
Congratulations! How exciting! You have a beautiful kitchen!
Thank you so much, Rebecca!
Woah……screaming for joy for you! Your kitchen is a work of art, it deserves to be shown.
You are so sweet – thank you so much Dmpfromri!
That is so exciting! I would’ve had a mini heart attack. Sucks that Florida isn’t on that list, cause I’d so pick one up.
LOL Jazmin – I think I did! If there’s a Tile Shop in your area there may be a smaller ad in your regional magazine; I’m not sure. It’s the thought that counts though – thank you!
