06 May Deborah Main: A Day with Miele “Food Photography Tips”
Hello all. It’s kind of a cloudy day here today in Austin, Texas, but it was anything but that in New York City during #BlogTourNYC. In fact, we only had one night of rain, and it would be the one night I’m trying to catch a cab out to Brooklyn to hear my son play in his band. Just FYI, there are no cabs in NYC in the rain!!
But on our first full day of BlogTour, after a chilly but lovely morning with Tess Casey floral design, then a delicious Italian lunch and DXV showroom (and this was only 1/2 way through the first day!) we were treated to the next 6 hours, from 3:00 – 9:00 p.m. to the modern showroom of one of our top sponsors, Miele, food photography, and the most spectacular gourmet meal in the world!
17 Apr Deborah Main’s Top 10 Design Finds at #BlogTourNYC
#1: The Butterfly Chair by McGuire
Yay!! I can now tell you about ten of my design finds from #BlogTourNYC because Modenus released their Best of BlogTour NYC list last week!!! I've been dying to share with you all the FABULOUS design I saw, but had to hold back on my top three. Modenus asked each of the Bloggers for their top three design picks from the whole entire four day tour. Can you imagine? I can understand why they chose three because there's a dozen of us. Doing the math that gives 36 top design finds from our tour, so that's a pretty fabulous list!
But I can't begin to tell you how challenging that was to select just THREE from the entire tour!!!!! Especially since every waking hour for 4 days straight we saw design inspiration around every corner! (Official style spotters and interior designers are used to making selections like this...but this was very new to me.)
