BODIE and FOU Christmas Guide {Stylish, practical gifts for the hostess with the mostest!}

I never really enjoy cooking but je suis une gourmande (I love food) and I've always loved having friends around for diner. As I'm getting older, I'm slowly learning to appreciate the creative and relaxing side of cooking and at weekends, once Mila is off to her Performing Arts classes, I have just about 2 hours for myself before it's time to pick her up.

Two hours which recently I have chosen to spend in the kitchen, baking the banana cake (see on page 30 of our catalogue) or other goodies because when the weather is cold and gloomy, there is no better feeling on Sunday afternoon to hang out with your friends and family around a cup of tea, eating a gorgeous cake you've made the day before...pure bliss

My Interior Design Website

I am so excited to share my brand new website with you! As most of you know, I left my staging company here in Birmingham this past Spring to start my own interior design firm. At the time, I decided to do a complete makeover of my blog and also had the talented Shari Miller of Little Blue Deer come up with a logo for my interior design business. I wanted the two logos to compliment each other.

Since then, I have been busy working on lots of fun design projects for clients and just have not had the time to put together my design website. So, last month, I decided I needed to pull it all together. I found I was getting lots of emails and questions from potential clients on my rates and services. So, now all this information is online for you to see. As my business continues to grow and I find time to have my spaces photographed, I will continue to add to my portfolio. I want to thank each and every one of you for continuing to support my business by reading my blog, sponsoring my blog and hiring me for design jobs. I have met so many people, both design clients and bloggers in the virtual world, who have made my year one of the most interesting to date. So from the heart, thank you!

If you have been thinking about interior design help, I hope you will take a look at my design services to see if we could be a fit for a project in your home! Right now, I am scheduling work about two weeks out, so let me know if you are interested, and I will put you on the calendar! M.

Design Crush: Daniel Faires

I have an all-around crush on Daniel Faires, furniture designer and interior designer and former contestant on HGTV's Design Star. He is cute and Southern and a talented carpenter....who doesn't love a handy man, right? He has been with his wife for 11 years...they went to the Homecoming dance together (pause for the "awe's"). She works in fashion and is equally adorable. The New York Times did a feature on their stylish 375 sq ft apartment (oy vey!...I don't think I can pull that off.) check it out here.

The chalkboard wall is for guests and friends to leave a comment, note, etc. Cute idea!

Daniel makes some stuff for Emily's show Secrets from a Stylist...

Like this reclaimed wood coffee table...

He also makes and sells his own furniture, called Capsule, named from the glass capsule tucked inside each piece containing observations on the wood’s history. You can check out his creations here.
