Rutt Cabinetry Ruskin Strutting with Rutt is a great thing...you wanna know why?  Because Rutt Cabinetry is pure magic. They know inside and out fine craftsmanship and artistry and what kind of luxury experience their cabinetry can truly provide for their customer. So much that in their words, "For those who know, Rutt Handcrafted Cabinetry is truly the only choice". And while on #BlogTourNYC and at The 2014 Architectural Digest Home Design Show I learned why.

It's Summertime....the perfect time for a recap of our first #PillowFight!!

 That's right, the Pillow Goddess, WAS in the hot seat last week for a #PillowFight as guest host of #DesignLux chat's "Pillow Fight". Didn't see any feathers flying as in "Along Comes Polly" (at least not yet!), but boy was it a blast!!

Thank you so much Brandon Smith for having me as a guest host. I always look forward to your chat #DesignLUX every Thursday. I think we were rather a tame bunch for this first go around, so you might have to have a few more #PillowFights to get the adrenalin going.  But in case you, dear readers, missed the chat, do not fear as I recap it all right here (below) with a few opinions, pillow finds, and tips from followers of #DesignLux chat.

Get your throw pillows ready....it's time for a Pillow Fight!!

And we really had one ya'll!!  In 2011, Deborah Main Designs pulled out all the stops at our last Austin Fashion Week event at 1020 Glass Art & Decor, called a "Pillow Party at The Pillow Glass Lounge".  It was very cool, I must say so myself! With such great memories, well, I thought this photo above was very apprepro for this week's upcoming #PillowFight.

Now tell me honestly, do you ever get frustrated trying to arrange your decorative pillows? Do you sometimes feel like throwing a pillow at your husband because he said the wrong thing, or, as found of D' Coop Media, Brandon Smith, reminded me, re-enact the hilarious stabbing scene from "Along Comes Polly"?  Well don't worry, as we have all been there. Here's your chance to literally throw your grievances on the bed and take it out on your pillows. Just please leave the knife in the kitchen.

Come help us duke it out this Thursday, May 22nd, at 3 PM CST (1 PM PST, 4 PM EST) on Twitter, as I partake as guest host, on Brandon Smith's #DesignLux chat's "Pillow Fight". 

That's right, the Pillow Goddess, moi, is in the hot seat!

Deborah Main Designs received some wonderful press from our trip to New York for #BlogTourNYC in the May/June 2014 issue of NHome magazine.  Remember how I had to hold back a bit on some of my design finds from The Architectural Digest Home Design Show?  Well, not anymore.  NHome Texas Magazine is now online and on news stands, so I'm VERY excited to share with you a lot more about the designs I selected.

The Architectural Digest Home Design Show is one of the premier design shows in NYC showcasing thousands of products from over 300 different brands. Inspiration was everywhere!  I've ALWAYS wanted to attend because I've been an avid fan of the magazine and all the incredible products and features. This years keynote speaker was none other than AD Editor-in-Chief Margaret Russell. The AD Home Show also included lectures hosted by Architectural Digest and design seminars hosted by The New York Times. Other exciting activities included:
