Seriously?!

Yesterday we learned that Young House Love was named one of the World’s Best Design Blogs by The London Times when we shockingly noticed our name on their top fifty list. Insanely enough we came in at number twelve. As in, they think we’re the 12th best design blog in the world. Isn’t that kind of mind blowing? We’re still pinching ourselves. And we’re thrilled to be in good company with a slew of stateside and international blogs that we know and love (like Apartment Therapy, Desire To Inspire, Decor8, Design Sponge, Making It Lovely, Chez Larsson, SF Girl By Bay, and Brooklyn Limestone to name a few).

Top 50 Blogs Times

Here’s a link to the page with our little ol’ mention, and here’s the main page where the article begins so you can click through the entire top 50 (this roundup is chock full of amazing blogs that we definitely recommend checking out!). Your google reader won’t even know what hit it.

In summary: Ahhhhhhh! We’re nerds. And this made our year.

    It is a well-deserved honor. The web is filled with so many design blogs that discuss things that are inaccessible to the average American. It is refreshing to read a blog that offers real, USEFUL design advice/projects. Congratulations! I wish you even more success in 2010!

    Totally deserved! I checked out the other blogs and while some were nice, nothing holds a candle to (or at least lines up with my interests like) yours.

    Well played.

    I wasn’t surprised when I saw this yesterday. You two ROCK. You need your own show or something. This is one of my ‘must see’ blogs daily. Congrats… you deserve it. You brighten people’s day and that is something to be proud of.

    Well, the only thing that didn’t surprise me was that you weren’t HIGHER on the list… like, at least, in the Top 10! And who wouldn’t like you?! Let’s see… you’re funny, articulate, original, optimistic, realistic, frugal, modern, fresh, witty and it doesn’t hurt that both of you are easy on the eyes. BIG FAT CONGRATS!!!!

    Congratulations to both of you! I am not surprised at all that you have garnered worldwide recognition. I came across your blog through your BH&G article back in May – I had never read a blog and was immediately hooked. I spent every spare minute over the summer reading every post. It wasn’t until I started looking at other blogs in September that I realized how truly amazing your blog is. I mean, I loved it from the get-go, but until I went elsewhere, I didn’t truly appreciate your streamlined navigation, your beautiful layout and your superb content (as well as your sweet, patient spirit answering every question!). I think your addicted readers could make a very strong case that you deserved a spot higher than 12th in the world!

    Before I saw this post, I saw the Times Online article and was holding my breath till I found your name. I was so happy when I did! Is that normal….? Congrats :)

    My only complaint: Your blog should be #1–!! Congratulations–and thanks for not only the inspirational design ideas, but also making us followers feel good every day! Most blogs don’t have the friendly, lively “voice” that your blog offers–because of your excellent writing abilities and great photos.

    Congrats!

    As a Brit however I would like to add that it is called The Times…..The London Times does not exist!! I know you were probs trying to differentiate from all the other global Times newspapers but it does grate me when English things are not named properly.
    Anyway enough of my rant, it is a very well deserved mention and I’m looking forward to seeing the bathroom development!

    AHHH! So amazing! I went through some of the top blogs that I wasn’t so familiar with and you guys are DEFINITELY number 1 in my eyes! I feel that a lot of your appeal comes from the fact that your blog posts exude your friendly and bubbly personalities. If you’re not a fan, please don’t take it the wrong way, but I’ve described you as the Rachel Ray of interior design :)
    And on an unrelated note, I noticed that there is not a computer in sight in any of your house tour posts. Where does the magic of YHL take place?

      Aw thanks Ania! You’re making us blush. And as for your computer question, the magic of YHL actually takes place in the corner of the den (at a white desk with a laptop that can be seen in the second “Den After” pic). And here’s a post with more details pics about my lil’ corner office. Hope it helps!

      xo,

    Congrats! You deserve it… actually, I would have moved you up to at least the top 5! I didn’t enjoy all the others near as much as I love this blog (and yes, I looked at all of them). Again congrats on this and on the new baby! Merry Christmas to the cutest couple on the interwebz!
