Back in 2007, Sherry & John Petersik started a blog called YoungHouseLove to chronicle their lives as they fixed up their home. Fast forward to 2015 and they are now on their 3rd home, have 2 children, garnered 1.1 million Pinterest followers, 156 thousand Facebook fans, 111 thousand Instagram followers, created their own signature hardware line at Home Depot, and their 2012 book, Young House Love, made it on the New York Times Best Sellers List. While in Salt Lake City during their tour for their new book, Lovable Livable Home, John & Sherry kindly took the time to Skype into The Hermann London offices to chat with Adam Kruse and Shannon St. Pierre about accidentally becoming successful bloggers, their favorite types of DIY renovations, and what to expect when they come to St. Louis on Friday, October 2nd for the book tour.
