TAG...I'm it!

A tidbit of Julie & Danni's design work

Julie and Danni from the blog T&G have such a clean updated traditional design look, a look I would be proud to have in my home and I hope if you get a moment you stop by and say hello. Their blog is classic and stylish and they�re just wonderful gals. Julie and Danni tagged me a couple of weeks ago. This is just like the game of tag from our youth. The rules are as follows:

So here we go with the questions that were posted to me:

1) Who are your favorite designers?

John Saladino via House Beautiful

Darryl Carter / The New Trational

McAlpine Booth & Ferrier

Eleanor Cummings

Stephen Sills

Pamela Pierce

I could keep listing and showing designers that I love all day but are you starting to see my style? I like clean lines, uncluttered rooms and if possible a hint of European elegance.

2) What is your favorite room to decorate?

Jose Solis Betancourt

The living room, I think you have more design choices and can get more creative.

3) What trend do you love?

Pamela Pierce

I�m not really much of a trendy person but the one item I have fallen for is burlap fabric. I love its relaxed causal look without being cheap looking.

4) What's your biggest pet peeve in design?

Atlanta Lifestyles & Homes

Atlanta Lifestyles & Homes

CLEARANCE! My biggest pet peeve is people not allowing enough clearance around furniture and in kitchens. The first image you don�t have enough clearance to get the oven doors open. There�s another bench on the other side of the island but the picture was too big to show so there�s nowhere to move that bench. The second picture, if people are sitting on the right side of the dining table there�s no way to get out and walk behind the chairs. So clearance is my biggest pet peeve!

5) What have you learned or gained from blogging?

Pinterest

I�ve come to know my personal style more and I�ve made some amazing friendships. I�ve learned how generous people can be not only with their time but also their sources. People truly are the best and blogging seems to bring the best people.

6) How long have you been blogging?

Pinterest

I�ve been blogging two years come June and never did I think I had so much to say or show! It�s been so much fun, thank you everyone!

7) What exciting things or opportunities have happened to you because of blogging?

I haven�t really had any opportunities come my way mainly because I�m not an interior designer I�m an antique textile dealer. I used to be an interior designer and that�s why I love blogging.

8) What do you hope to achieve from blogging?

Pinterest

I hope my blog makes people happy and I come away with a new friend.

9) How long does it take you to do a post?

I think probably two hours but I don�t really sit down and do a post all at once I pick at it as I have time. I usually start with pictures first and do the writing last. I love it when posts come together of their own accord and in less than thirty minutes it�s posted.

10) A little unknown fact about you?

pinterest

I�m a little bit of a germ-a-phobic, yep it�s true those little unseen things can sometimes send me running straight for my bottle of Clorox bleach!  

11) What do you hope your blog will achieve in the long run?

Under Spanish Moss

Nothing really, I hope people leave my blog a new friend and they�ve enjoyed themselves and what I�ve shared.
