I’m not sure when I’ve been more excited to share something with all of you. My house and Christmas tree made the cover of the Better Homes & Gardens Christmas Ideas Magazine! *mic drop*
Let’s backtrack a bit. As I mentioned on IBC late last year (or maybe early this year), the folks at Better Homes & Gardens asked if they could come to my home to shoot my space for the 2017 issue of Christmas Ideas Magazine.
After doing a happy dance and catching my breath, of course, I said yes and invited them over.
OUR LATEST VIDEOS
Side note: I don’t in any way want to sound braggadocios about all of this. This recognition of my work was and is a momentous time for me, my career, and this blog so I have practically been bursting at the seams with excitement, wanting to share the news with you.
It feels like a dream to be asked to be a part of this magazine since it has long been a favorite Christmas publication. Each holiday season I can hardly wait for this special interest issue to come out. During the past several years, BHG has featured bloggers’ homes. Bloggers who I’ve met, bloggers who I’m friends with, and bloggers I’ve followed with admiration. Being part of this group means more than I can ever express.
For this particular shoot, BHG wanted my space to be decorated differently from what I shared on the blog. Therefore, after Christmas last year, I had to take everything down and redecorate. Thankfully, decorating for Christmas is truly one of my favorite things to do so I didn’t mind. In preparation for the shoot, amidst lots of other things that were going on, I baked a batch of my Sweater Weather Cookies, repainted my wood bead garland, redecorated three trees, and more.
Around the second week of January, Nicole, the design director from BHG arrived along with Adam the photographer and his assistant, Jason.
They were at my home for about two days and ended up shooting about 20 photos for the issue. For the most part, they shot everything as I had set it up. Nicole (the design director) would tweak things to make sure they looked good in the photos, but other than that, the styling was all mine.
During the shoot, Adam took a picture of the tree that was near my office. (This one here.) After shooting the tree, Nicole mentioned that it could make a great cover image. I immediately was all a flutter inside. Like, total freak out. They even did a mock up with the magazine’s logo. However, I was told that the cover has to go through consumer testing, focus groups, and more. So it might not happen.
Well – spoiler alert …
… my tree made the cover of the issue!
That’s it. My tree. My home. On the cover of a magazine. I can retire now, right?
To go along with the cover image, there’s a Q&A piece in the magazine on how I decorate trees, where I get my inspiration, and so on.
The magazine also features a 10-page spread of my home. It walks you through my living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, and upstairs hallway. It also features some DIYs such as my beaded garland, Sweater Weather Cookies, painted trees, and concrete ornaments. It is a true reflection of what an Inspired by Charm Christmas looks like, and I couldn’t be more pleased.
I can’t show you everything from the magazine, so you’ll have to pick up a copy or just flip through the issue the next time you’re out shopping. The magazine should be available at many retail stores in your area. I’ve seen it in several grocery stores, Walmart, Target, Lowe’s, and Barnes and Noble.
A big shout out to Nicole, Adam, and Jason for all your work at my home. Also, thank you to Cathy and Lacey (the writers of the articles) for sharing my Christmas story.
Now, I hope this doesn’t sound too corny, but I thought it’d be fun to give away copies of the issue. So, I’m giving away 10 copies of the BHG 2017 Christmas Ideas Magazine to 10 lucky IBC readers. As an extra little treat, I’ll even include some other holiday swag with the magazines.
Also, if you would like, I’d be happy to autograph the magazine for you. That may be a totally weird offer, but I’m putting it out there because I’ve already had a few folks ask. However, I’m happy to send you the issue without my signature, too.
To enter to win, use the form below. (Those viewing this on a blog reader may need to visit the actual post by clicking here.) Simply enter your email address in the form for a chance to win.
This giveaway is open to readers worldwide. You must be 18 or older to win. Void where prohibited. This giveaway will end at 11:59 pm ET on Friday, November 10, 2017. The winners will be randomly selected and contacted via email.
Good luck to all.
Finally, because I can never say it enough, thank YOU for embracing me and my work. Without you, my wonderful readers, opportunities like this would not happen. I remind myself of this every day. I am so lucky, honored, and blessed that all of you are part of my life.
You constantly give me hope, encouragement, love, and support, and I will be forever grateful. Whether you’re new to Inspired by Charm or have followed from the beginning, (In January, IBC will be 9 years old!), I love you, too.
Wishing you happy reading and lots of holiday inspiration!

Michael, I have always thought your decorated Christmas trees the best of all the blogs I follow. This years included. “Layering the Charm,” what a great blog name for your posts. I cannot believe you decorate those gorgeous sweater cookies. Patience definitely is a virtue. I hope to win an autographed BH&G magazine from you. If not, I will be sure to purchase one.
Thank you so much, Sandy. Those cookies were definitely a labor of love.
xo Michael

What an exciting moment!! Congratulations and keep up the good work! I love getting inspired by your blog and I can see that there are so many other people that do also!
Layering on the CHARM! I LOVE it. You must just be about to pop, if you haven’t already! So great and proud of you.

I truly understand your excitement and heart all a-flutter! congratulations!
Congratulations on the well deserved recognition. I have enjoyed every image in your blog. I always see something that sparks an idea, especially the holiday images. It is so generous of you to share your home with all of us.
Wow what an honor – congratulations!! I have been following your blog for a couple of years now, and your trees have been just gorgeous every year. Having one of your gorgeous trees featured on the cover just goes to show that your trees really are stunning. It would be super fun to win an autographed copy of the magazine – thank you for the opportunity!
Wow!!!! You SO deserve this…the photos are beautiful and you are so very talented! I’ve never commented before, but I have enjoyed your work for several years. I am absolutely CHEERING you on with many other appreciative readers!
So happy for you. Your work is so deserving of the attention. YAY!!!!!
Congratulations! So exciting!
Congratulations Michael – what an honour. I have only recently become aware of your blog and thoroughly enjoy it. I now just opened my e-mail and was excited to see a post from you with such great news. I have a 3 hour layover in New York City on a flight from Florida to Buffalo in a few weeks and am going to spend the time pouring over every inch of the BHG Christmas issue. Can’t wait to see the rest of your fabulous ideas.
Kathryn
BRAVO Michael! And may I be the first to wish you a merry Christmas!
WOW!! Congrats!! Love the red.
Can’t wait to pick up a copy.
xo
Michael,
So very happy for you! I had found your blog just this past year and after two moves in two months I lost you. Extremely happy to have found you again and with such great news. I have one question – when it comes to your holiday decorating, do you use the same year after year or do you completely start from scratch? I mean same tree – all new ornaments or same ornament as well, just redone? Can’t wait to take the time to catch up on all your posts.
Maureen
Maureen, As a blogger I feel the “need” to do a new tree (or trees) each year. However, I do try and reuse ornament and decorations whenever I can. If you look through my holiday home tours, you’ll see some of the same things but used in different ways.
xo Michael
Congratulations Michael! You have such talent and I’m so happy that you were recognized for it by such a classic magazine! Way to go!
So happy for you…last year when I saw your tree I knew it was the one I had to have. And I posted a comment that I wound up going and getting one after Christmas. Now, even more, I cannot wait to get it out and decorate. BIG congrats to you…both last years and the magazine cover tree are spectacular!!! KUDOS
Cover is beautiful! Congrats and now I have to go buy a copy 🙂
Oh so happy for you Michael! Love your ideas and recipes! I hope this “happy” will continue to excite you throughout your career!
I am so happy for you! Congratulations! You are so very talented and creative so I am not at all surprised that you made the cover. I am going to pick up a copy of the magazine on my way home from work today. The perfect way to spend the weekend! BIG BIG congratulations to you!
This is something you should be very proud of! This will make a very prestigious addition to your portfolio. Onward and upward!
What took them so long!!!! Notice I had to get in line to congratulate you!!! I can’t say enough about your talent, and you so deserve this. Congratulations!
Already bought the issue Michael because of your tree on the cover!! Felt like a proud sister also! It’s a beautiful spread and kids if you don’t win a copy, it’s worth every penny!
Congrats, Michael. Your creative talent and hard work really shine here. Thank you, as we, your readers, are the lucky recipients. Am so happy for you. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and wonderful Merry Christmas.
You are too kind, Kevin! Thanks!
xo Michael
so cool and amazing and beautiful! Congrats! I just love your blog and creativity!
Congratulations, Michael, this is well deserved. Cheers, Ardith
Michael, you arent bragging! What a great recognition of your work. Of course, we already knew how talented you are by following your blog! Headed out to buy my yearly copy now. I really love the photo with the teal, gold and fur pillows….so festive!
Thank you, Jae! Enjoy the magazine!
xo Michael
Insert big happy dance for you! Congratulations to you… keep inspiring
Awesome accomplishment; thanks for your inspiration! From someone who hasn’t had a Christmas tree in years since the kids moved away, it makes me yearn to set up a tree, turn on Christmas music & have fun decorating. But realistically it won’t be this year, as we are moving in late December…maybe a goal for next year!
It’s great to have a goal. And you can still crank those Christmas tunes!
xo Michael
Well deserved recognition! Your work is fantastic! Your styling is so gorgeous and inspiring. It’s great to see your talent recognized by BH&G.. So happy for you!
Congratulations! Your photos totally deserve to be in a magazine. They’re always beautiful just like your projects. I’m excited for you!!
Congratulations! This is so great, very happy for you!
Please feel free to brag! What an honor, and some amazing pictures! Congratulations!
Brag,brag,brag. I’m bragging that I knew you before you were famous. Seeing these pictures makes me really miss your house. So happy for you, your talent is so deserving of this honor.
Thank you so much, Sue!
xo Michael
I’m not surprised at all! Everything you do seems to look like it belongs in a magazine. Awesome!
Oh Michael, I am so very proud of you. You are a very talented, creative and artistic young man. This is a well deserved honor. Brag away, you have earned the right to. Love how you decorated the trees, your home, etc. The cookies are so cute and delicious. Can’t wait to get the magazine.
Thank you, Debra!!
xo Michael
I’m so proud of you, Michael! You have every right to brag! This is so exciting and I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy. I will be going to Lowe’s tomorrow and will pick one up. I have never bought a magazine that strictly features Christmas decorating (although I love Christmas!), so this will be a first. All because of you! Thank you for sharing and congratulations!
Thank you so much, Janet!!
xo Michael
You are most welcome, Michael. I did purchase the magazine today and just finished reading your article. I love the crafts and the cookies are so adorable. I just may try my hand at some of these! Merry Christmas! 🙂
Thank you ALL so VERY much! Your outpouring of congrats is beyond appreciated!
xoxoxo
Michael
You ate fabulous!!! Congratulations!!!
Ooops, (Friday night, 3rd glass of wine) you ARE fabulous!!! Congratulations!!!
I bought my magazine a couple weeks ago when I saw you were in it. I love everything you do and congratulations on a job well done.
It is a truly gorgeous cover…that tree is phenominal! Grabbed the magazine when it came out and was happy to see that was your tree and your home! All the shots of your home were stunning. Congratulations!
How wonderful and well-deserved, Michael! The magazine looks fabulous! Good for you!
That is beyond cool!! I am so excited for you!
So marvelous! I don’t usually buy the Christmas magazine, but I will now!
That’s major! I’m excited for you! And, can say I knew you when:)!
I am a bug subscriber..love the magazine for decades now.
Can’t wait..but, I’m entering too!
Way to go Michael
As an IBC reader for the past few years, this is overdue! You have incredible talent and this magazine shoot and cover are well deserved! Congratulations and I can’t wait to see what 2018 brings for you and your blog. 😊
That’s awesome! And well deserved too. You always have the best ideas, styling, and photography. Congrats!
So exciting! Simply beautiful! So happy for you.😊
Smiles, and more smiles, this is well deserved! Congratulations! LOVE it all, especially the sweater cookies and tree on the cover!
Michael, the best congratulations on all your hard work. It is so nice to be appreciated and I cannot think of a more deserving person to receive this honor. Thank you so much for sharing your HUGE talents with us all. I am looking forward to many more amazing blog posts. Have a great Thanksgiving. I know how thankful you must be.
Stop it!!! This is the MOST amazing news. You go right ahead & brag all you want. Of course BH&G selected your work – it’s gorgeous! I am going out right now to buy my copy. BIG Congratulations to you, Michael!
Congratulations! Everything looks so Festive & Fabulous!! Happy & excited to join your blog.
Thank you for sharing your talents!
Congratulations! You deserve it! Yes, I would love a copy Autographed! I may be your oldest follower at 83.
Wow, so exciting. Richly deserved recognition too.
Congratulations your so deserving of this honor Michael.
Congratulations! I am so excited for you! Can’t wait to check out the magazine 🙂
I’ve followed your blog for years, but I think this is the first time I’ve commented! Just had to congratulate you as you are so deserving. You do beautiful work and are so humble-I’d be bragging for sure!!!!
Thanks for following along for so many years (and for the congrats!). It really means the world to me!
xo Michael
Congrats Michael! It’s nice to get to know you in Gina’s class.
What an honor, and very well deserved. You offer inspiration to us all who follow your blog. You are not bragging at all — you are very talented and we love what you share!
Congratulations! Very happy for you. You certainly deserve it.. Your decorating is definitely inspiring. Always look forward to seeing what you have designed. Also your recipes. Yum!
What a great recognition for you and very well deserved, congratulations!
¯\ (•◡•) /¯ Congrats!! The tree that made the cover is gorgeous!!
Congratulations Michael! Your tree is enchanting! I cannot wait to purxhase (or win) The Better Homes and Gardens Christmas issue and dive into the pages study each detail of your creation! Oh! I ADORE your Sweater Weather cookies! My daughter and I hold a benefit luncheon each year for a local non-profit; the cookies will be the perfect dessert. YAY for you!
Yay!! They would be perfect for that! Enjoy them!
xo Michael
Congratulations! Well deserved recognition for your talents. I bought the magazine today and just finished it. Your pages were the best! I’ve never used ribbon on my tree but now I want to, thanks for the inspiration.
WOW!!! Congratulations, Micheal; it’s lovely to see your beautiful decor acknowledged in a big way!
Congratulations, I’m so happy for you! I picked up a copy yesterday, and they should just name this the “Micheal Wurm/IBC” issue. You’re the star by far! You’ve worked hard, and you so deserve this.
Whoa! Making the cover is some serious praise! And so very well deserved. Those cookies and ornaments just went on my to-do list.
Congratulations, Michael! I’ve been a reader for some time. I am thrilled for you as I remember when you went through some lows and I’m sure felt under appreciated. Well, la.de.da that time has passed. So sincerely happy for you.
Couldn’t be happier for you!!
I love , love your home not to mention your beautiful Christmas tree decorating but what impresses me more is your modesty and your genuine feeling of excitement. You seem like a very kind person and one who deserves the accolades. Congratulations!
Michael, I am SO SO SO happy for you! You have worked hard and you deserve this recognition. I am so proud to share you with everyone else! You are not bragging in any way so don’t even go there! Way to go Michael – I just can’t express how your success brings me so much joy, but it truly does!!!
Michael – this is such a wonderful achievement. Congratulations! I love your style and am inspired by your creativity and honesty. Keep up the good work. Can’t wait to read the piece!
I love this post! Congratulations on your cover issue! Love to follow your blog, love the spirit you put into everything that you create and write! Such a wonderful accomplishment and you should be very proud to be braggadocios!! All the best through the holidays & new year!
Congrats!! Cant wait for my copy. I always look forward to your blog. Your home is so beautiful and I LOVE your recipes. Congrats Michael!
So happy for you–it’s weird of me to be proud for you, but I can’t help it–I’ve been reading your blog for awhile and love so much of what you post. Appreciate your authenticity AND your style. Cam’t wait to read the issue when I find it here. Best wishes for a very Merry Christmas, too!
Congratulations on achieving a dream! It looks fantastic – can’t wait to buy the magazine and see more.
So very glad to see your great style in a BH&G magazine. Well deserved for sure! Your Christmas trees have always been so special… As a matter of fact – EVERYTHING you do is special! Congratulations Michael!!!
You are a lot of things, but braggadocious is not one of them. I’ve followed you for a number of years, and I’ve never gotten a hint of anything but kindness and a desire to share and to inspire. Congratulations on this honor–any one of us would be thrilled to be mentioned once in a magazine, but to be featured? And to make the cover? Are you kidding? It’s a dream come true, and it couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy!
So, I’ve been “unplugged” and missed all the excitement! Congratulations! And it’s OK to brag a little when you’ve worked so hard for so long and finally get the recognition you deserve! Like many of the above comments, I’ve followed you for a while and feel some “pride by proxy” (not sure if that is actually the correct use of the term, but hopefully you understand). You deserve this, and I hope you savor the moment long after the issue hits the stands. I will absolutely be saving this one (and probably attempting to copy some of your amazing ideas)!
I’m a new follower but I’m still very excited for you. Congratulations! With news like this, you have to get it out there. I’ll be looking for it in store.
This is an amazing honor and you are still so sweet and humble. Congratulations! I love giveaways and this is a special one. I’ll be looking for your cover at the stores. Your designs and recipes are awesome. Wishing you many more accomplishments.
I still have some Halloween ideas of yours on my diy list. Found your site originally by searching for holiday printables.
So proud of you!! I picked up the issue today, and can’t wait to prop up my feet and dig into it!
I bought the magazine because I recognized your work. Haven’t had the chance to page through it. Congratulations!
Congratulations! So happy for you. I’ve been following your blog for about a year now, and I’m so excited that you made the cover! You seem like such a sweet guy, your posts are always so humble and warm. I would love an autographed copy, thank you for the opportunity. PS I can’t get over how lovely all of your Christmas trees turn out! It’s amazing.
Oh Michael, I’m so happy for you and so proud of you. I feel like a proud mom. I’ve been following you since you had your B&B. I love everything you do and don’t know where you get the energy. You were also so kind and took the time a couple of years ago to answer my email and tell me where to buy the colored bottle brush trees. You are truly a wonderful person and deserve all the recognition. I’m so, so proud to follow you.
Oh my gosh, I’ve been with you all along and I feel like your mother and that you’ve won an Oscar!
I am blown away and jumping up and down! You are such a talented person and a beautiful, wonderful man. Congratulations! I am telling all my friends to get on IBC. You create such beauty with everything you touch! I admire you so much!
Congratulations! Just when I decided I have enough Christmas magazines and books and won’t be needing anymore, your success has prompted me to go out and get a copy, unless I win one, of course! Have been following your blog for a little over a year and I love your decorating style in St. Mary’s and am amazed at what you’ve done with your apt. in Pittsburgh. And i learned a new word-braggadocios-you have every right to be proud!
You are a rock star! I’m a huge fan!
Congratulations Michael! Well deserved!
I just returned from my local supermarket with my copy. Can’t wait to dig in,
Hi Michael, I have just started following you and I adore your style! Congratulations on your BHG Christmas cover of the magazine! So beautiful! I also saw pictures of your other tree with the turquoise/aqua styling and that is a tree after my own heart! I cant wait to go pick up the magazine! Also, thank you for the Instagram story you did on putting the ribbon on the tree. It was so helpful! I put one on last year, but I needed some tweaking and you gave me just the tips I needed. Blessings for a good week!
You are just the sweetest. Thanks so much for your message. Glad you liked the tree and ribbon tutorial. I need to get that up on the blog!
xo Michael
So proud of you! Congrats, (can’t wait to see how you’re decorating your new place)!
Congratulations on the magazine article!! You deserve the recognition; your style and unique ideas are always wonderful.
Thank you so much!
xo Michael
My Mother is obsessed with the wooden “deer” that are on page 74 of this magazine! We are having a very hard time finding anything that resembles them. Any ideas?
I don’t have the magazine in front of me. Is it part of my home tour? (I’m not remembering a wooden deer.) If it’s not part of my home, you’d have to reach out to the blogger / person who’s home they are featured in.
xo Michael
Wow Michael!! Congrats!! It’s a well deserved honor. Your decor is gorgeous! I’m sad that I missed the giveaway lol..I’m gonna try to locate a copy!!
Michael,
I bought my copy right away! I saw several things I loved, so I hurriedly turned to the sources page, only to discover it said check out your blog. I was excited to learn there was a blog (where have I been?). I am here and looking for the source for the gold, modern, peace signs. Can you help direct me? Thanks in advance for your help and Merry Christmas to you! ~ Caroline
LOVE YOUR TREE! Congratulations on making the cover. Can I ask where you got the geometric shaped ornaments? I’ve scoured the internet and have not been able to find anything.
I realize I am late to the party but I wanted to congratulate you! You are so talented and I have long admired your beautiful home.
