Modern angles on the Austin Modern Home Tour in home by Matt Fajkus architecture. More on The Pillow Goddess blog Modern angles and warm interiors were "de rigueur" for several modern homes in this 2nd post of a 3-part series on the Austin Modern Home Tour produced by Modern Architecture + Design Society. It was another FANTASTIC Tour!  I always find homes that inspire me - not to mention incredible architectural and design details - which make me want to run home fast to remodel.  (HA!! As we know, that's not always possible, but the kitchens dying for a remodel!) Last week we talked about everything Mid-Century Modern HERE.  This second post, of three (up next week is

Happy New Year!  I'm super excited to be headed to Dallas in the morning to the 2019 LIGHTOVATION and the Total Home & Gift markets.  Dallas is well known as the International Home of Lighting and for good reason.  It is THE number one largest lighting market in the United States, featuring hundreds of top lighting brands and showrooms.

You know, sometimes you just have to say it.  I think the world would be a lot better off with women running the show.  Now, mind you, that is solely my opinion, but I also know first hand that there are some AMAZING women interior and product designers out there in the home design world.  So let's start there, shall we? Two of the top women product designers in the U.S. home furniture industry today are Robin Baron of Robin Baron and Tina Nicole of Nathan Anthony. They both happen to be launching incredible new furniture pieces at the upcoming fall Highpoint Market October 13 – 17th, starting this weekend, in Highpoint, North Carolina. When it comes to the launch of a new product for any design business,

2018 has been a jolt right out of the starting gate!  Starting off the year we've got a lot of irons in the fire.  To keep up with our studio's growth, we welcome our new student intern, Stephanie Munoz. While Stephanie's working on improving your experience with our Pinterest boards, I'll be focusing on implementing our studio's 2018 goals and ongoing marketing & sales training with Cathy Kegley of Luxury Design Marketing. (You'll be hearing much more about Cathy and other great masterminds from the BOLD Summit I attended last fall blog posts throughout 2018.) And of course attending Dallas Winter Market!
