As I grow older, I’m starting to appreciate the wisdom of the universe and the beautiful cyclical nature of life. While the downturn in the economy has certainly caused some pain, most of us would have to be grateful for what we still have. Many things have changed in the last few years but what’s most important, family and friends, have remained. As we are poised to enter our sixth year producing Housetrends in Columbus, I can’t help but think kind thoughts about the people that have helped to build the magazine to the product it is today. One of those key people is editor Danielle Krouse, who is starting a new chapter in her life and moving to Cleveland. Former editor, Karen Bradner, will take over for Danielle and is excited to be joining us once again. In this issue, you’ll get an inside look at local interior designer, Rick Miller’s German Village home, which has been dressed in red for the holidays. Also featured is an outdoor holiday lighting tour and festive recipes, perfect for any party. We hope you appreciate our first annual interiors feature, where we asked local designers to show us their favorite trends for the upcoming year. Big plans for Housetrends in 2011, as with our digital twin, Housetrends. com. If you haven’t visited our website in a while, take a look because we’ve done a little remodeling. We’d love to hear from you on our Facebook page, so be sure to leave a comment or two!
