 A Holiday Message From the Department of Homeland Homes and GardensDec 15 2005 by Tara Zucker
As I sit here in my office, drinking in the warm hues of my new cocoa-colored walls, I find myself reflecting on a year filled with hard work, many challenges, and greater rewards. From its inception, the Department of Homeland Homes and Gardens has tackled difficult issues confronting the American decorating and renovating public. From facing down busy French prints abroad, to watching one of our American heroes stumble and fall onto a hard cot at Alderson, 2005 was a year that tested us over and over again. And we hate tests. Unless they're essays, which we're pretty good at. We were asked to hit the ground running, grabbing throw pillows and decorative accents as we went. We were battling a fearless enemy who had brought the terror of home décor to our own soil, an enemy who had no scruples and even less sense of style. What we had on our side was a basic understanding of adjustable rate mortgages and the name of a really good contractor. Oh - and we had one more thing. We had a dream. A vision, really, of how great our country could be, with the right lighting and proper furniture placement. And we had faith in the American people, who were thirsty for unlimited Internet access to home renovation tips, thirsty for round-the-clock programming on HGTV, and thirsty for 24-hour Home Depots. It was you, the American people, who kept us going. And also the people at Starbucks, who kept us jacked up on grande non-fat lattes with just a hint of vanilla. Because we get thirsty too, thinking about all this decorating stuff. And so, we send our best wishes to every single one of you for the new year. We hope you finish that $200,000 kitchen remodel, or even just replace the leaky flapper in the toilet that runs all the time. Stay proud, stay strong, and remember – a fresh coat of paint can change more than your walls. It can change your outlook, and eventually, maybe, the world. Like what you're reading here?
