Y'know all those gorgeous fabrics that hang in the Crate-n-Barrel stores that separate the displays? I always notice them when I am shopping because they are so cool! They are contemporary colorful printed fabric that looks like art. Well- they use Marimekko fabrics. I stumbled upon the actual store in Silver Springs, MD. I am hooked! You will probably see a lot of it in my up coming shows. They make awesome art! I have been stretching them on a basic wooden frame that the guys built. I am loving the fact that I can make it as large as I want, I splice them up so the pattern continues from frame to frame. I also used another print for some pillows and it added the perfect punch of color. I just ordered a print for my own home (abstract pears)and they have an actual upholsterer in-store that will stretch it or upholster for you. So cool!
My only reason to share this info is that I LOVE Love Love it! My other favorite thing about the store is that they have one super talented manager/designer that is the bomb at giving advice and being very patient (I had about 20 bolts of fabric on the table)! Michael- you rock!

Webisode
Some new info on what's happenin' lately!
I just finished shooting "webisodes" in Asheville, NC. What a beautiful place! The webisode will be up and running soon on HGTV.com (I will let you know for sure when I find out). They are short online videos on 'Designing for the Senses'. It has a bit of a YouTube feel to it. Very cool for those of you into video photography. It was interesting to shoot. I used a hand held cam for a lot of it! Each webisode gives pointers on designing for each specific sense (scent, touch, sound, etc). Very cool!
I will be in Baltimore, MD in April for the winning community organization that was picked for the "Change the World, Start at Home" event. I'm honored to be a part of such a great cause!
I will be speaking at a the Home Show in Bahamas on March 1-2
I will also be speaking at the Spring Show in Reno, NV on March 29-30
Hope to see you there!

Hi!
Its been a long time! So sorry. I have been getting lots of emails and can't tell you how great it is to get your comments and feedback. Things have been awesome! We are working harder than ever! So many houses- so little time. Many of you have been asking about availabilty for a consultation. I am limited to the DC area at the time and the big bummer on consults is that our shoot schedule is very ambitious so it leaves little time to offer at the moment. BUT send in questions and I promise to try to answer as many as possible. If many of you have the same question, just check the blog.
The other email I have gotten a few times is in regards to some of the goofiness on the show. I have a little bit of insight on this for those interested. First, we really are having a blast and genuinly have such a family environment. I think that comes across clearly. Next, something to keep in mind is that we shoot all week and have countless hours of footage that gets sorted through and made into a 22 minute episode. Depending on what the writers, producers, and editors want you to see is what you'll end up seeing. So yes- there is a lot of goofing around, but we always get the job done. I just want to show you all how much fun it can be to design and that it doesn't need to be intense all the time. So there ya have it. Check back in soon!
All the Best! T
