From The Editor: Home Sweet Home For The Holidays

Well folks, it’s almost here. It’s been fun getting our tans and wearing shorts, but the uniquely Minnesotan winter season is upon us. Break out the shovels, sweatshirts and electric blankets, because we’re in it for the long haul once again.

However, in spite of the deluge of subzero weather and snow we’re afforded seemingly six months a year (hyperbole? Just you wait!), winter means that it’s high time to spruce up our homes inside and out. If you’re hoping to revamp your pad for the holidays, then Lavender‘s 2018 Winter Home & Garden Issue is just what you need!

Featured within these pages are an exclusive interview with Queer Eye legend Carson Kressley about his new interior design show on the Bravo network, a profile of Ed Guzek’s new affordable luxury linens business Bokser Home, and we also get some helpful tips on holiday decor from the folks at Bachman’s.

On top of that, we interview the Brass Rail’s new piano star Adam Divine, and Carla Waldemar takes a Northwestern European odyssey with a Viking Ocean Cruise. Also, don’t forget that nominations for Lavender‘s 2018 Community Awards are due Monday, Nov. 19! If you know of an individual, business or nonprofit that has done great work for the local GLBT community over the last year, be sure to let us know!
