I have thrown my hat in the ring and I am hoping that you can help out.  Apartment Therapy is once again hosting the Homies awards for discovering, sharing and honoring the best in home design blogs.   It’s not so much a competition as a celebration of the richness and awesomeness of shelter bloggers around the world. There are so many great choices, but very few feature exclusively the part of a home that is outside of the four walls and the roof.  And isn’t this one of the best parts of a house? The main reason I chose to buy my current house is because I loved how it sat on the land.  Home is where the heart is, and my heart is in my garden.  So if you are like me and want to celebrate the outside as much as the inside, head on over to Apartment Therapy and vote for studio ‘g’ (it’s listed as studiog.greayer.com)  as well as your other favorite shelter blogs – there are some great ones out there and one visit to the list will surely help you discover some new treasures.  Voting Ends December 29.

Thanks for all of your support in 2009.
