Just got my copies of the Tahoe Quarterly home issue… such an awesome cover home! It’s bittersweet to see the 2011 home awards spread since this is the first time in some six years that I haven’t been on the tours. Walking through the finalist homes was always one of my favorite times of the year at that job. But it sure is exciting to flip through the pages and not know what’s coming next!

When you scope out all the architecture and design packed in the issue, don’t miss my arts profile of Paul Bailey on page 36 (the first story I’ve done for TQ since leaving last June) or my friend Ian profiled on page 32. Love that guy!
