Tracy Hutson’s Book-Launch Party

Writing a book with Tracy Hutson was more of a delight that a project. Of course, we did lots of hard work. Of course, time was always flying by far too quickly. But from the very start, it was clearly a collaboration that meant a lot to both of us.

All of our passion and energy came to fruition last Thursday night, when Tracy officially launched Feathering the Nest at a party at Calypso Home in Santa Monica. To hold the book in our hands…to hear the enthusiasm of people who were anxious to buy it…to indulge in a sense of sweet, smug satisfaction–I’m not sure there’s a way to describe what that feels like. So let’s just have another glass of champagne, shall we?

A Plug for My Newest Book Collaboration

Eco-friendly decorating ideas for the nursery. Baby safety. Brain stimulation. They’re all in Feathering the Nest, a new book by Tracy Hutson scheduled for release on May 1–just in time for Mother’s Day. Tracy, best known as part of the team on ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” is also the mother of two little boys, so she approaches her subject matter as both a designer and a mom.

In addition to informative and entertaining content, the book includes delightfully charming photographs by Laurie Frankel. Amazon is accepting pre-orders now.
