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

The Telstar home at Starlight Village Homes, Leander, Texas. WOW!! The 2019 Modern Home Tour was over the top FABULOUS!!!  Not to mention we had a gorgeous sunny day and the piece de resistance was a fun Block Party out at the NEW Starlight Village in Leander.  I took hundreds of photos and am so excited about sharing everything with you! But while editing my images, I realized there's absolutely NO way I can squeeze them into one post. Lucky you!  You'll be getting THREE posts out of this fantastic Tour produced by Modern Architecture + Design Society. Today's post on Mid-century modern will be a tad short (okay, we all know, my posts are NEVER really short, no matter how hard I try!), but with inspiring photos, because I want you to learn more about

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,

Has there ever been a time in your life or your career where you had to really step outside of your comfort zone and take a bold leap of faith?  Well, I've done a few baby leaps of faith in the past 13 years of being a solo entrepreneur with Deborah Main Designs, and with everyone's love and support it has helped me get my business to where it is today. But, I must say, being bold enough to attend the BOLD Summit 2017 as a Showcase Designer is my boldest leap yet!  And I'm so very excited about it I could burst!!!   I must confess that

Spring is my favorite month of the year and our Shumard Red Oak has almost all of its fresh green leaves on it!  (I'm sorry for those still suffering through winter, but maybe this post will put a spring into your step!) I also love the month of April because it's my wedding anniversary and birthday, back to back, and this year I've been working on my garden to get it all ready for the special occasions. I love nature and it feels great to get back to gardening.
