 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!

One of the highlights for me and Deborah Main Designs at the #SneakPeek at Dallas Market in January (Yup, I still have a couple more posts of inspiration from just that one single day!) was having the opportunity to meet and hear Thomas O'Brien speak. Not having a background in design, I honestly didn't know who he was. I really enjoyed hearing him speak, seeing his slide show, and learning about his NYC store. Since going to Dallas was my first time attending market as a blogger, I was very keen on learning more and listening to what he had to say. I was definitely intrigued!
