About Gale

My name is Gale Steves, and I'm the former Editor-in-Chief of Home Magazine; others may have encountered me from my Design Diva days doing design seminars in stores and online. I have written a book, Right-Sizing Your Home – How to Make Your House Fit Your Lifestyle. Right-Sizing is “how to” in a whole new light. Nowadays I live with the husband and my dog Cricket in a small house in upstate New York.

About Tammy

My name is Tammy Weadock, and I love all things surfacing! I'm the Online Communications Specialist at Wilsonart International. I've spent my entire career with Wilsonart and now specialize in Online, Public Relations and Sustainability. I oversee online marketing programs, managing internal partners and external agencies. I work extensively between the company’s internal programs and its customers, working in conjunction with the Director of Sustainability and Wilsonart’s Green Team.

About Andrea

I'm Andrea, and I'm the urban pioneer of the group. I love to volunteer, play a little tennis and drink a great wine with friends on a fabulous roof-top deck. I love to dream up projects around the house, and boy have I found the right place for that (you can follow the transformation in my (Up)Date Night series)! I am fortunate to have a very talented and supportive family who are all handy around the house; a dad who can replicate most any wooden furniture and a mom who can sew a curtain in no time flat. With their help, a lot of time, and some blogging along the way, I’m hoping I can whip my ‘new to me’ urban condo into a place I’m proud to call home.
