I have loved taking the week off to spend time with family, friends and to catch up on a few loose ends around The Studio. I have also taken this week to look back on a few of my favorite projects, blog posts and of course prepare for a fabulous 2013! I have been fortunate to have met and “worked” with so many driven, successful and motivational people in this industry.  There is nothing more rewarding that inspiration and unconditional support, especially in this competitive industry.

Tobi Fairley has been one of those people and I can say THANK YOU enough to her and the great team she surrounds herself with.  This past Spring, Tobi asked me to participate in a   Get The Look post as an opportunity to spread the word about my design Studio and of course my online boutique, Shop Ten 25.  I loved pulling the post together so much, that I later decided to make Get The Look Monday standard on my blog!

So one of my 2013 goals is to pay it forward! As my business grows and you lovely readers continue to support the changes around here, I can’t help but think of what I was going through 4 years ago when I decided to start this chapter in my life!  Seeing my business grow &  having others reach out to support me has been overwhelming…in a good way!  I hope that we can all remember what it was like to branch out on our own, start something new and be so thankful for any morsel of advise to keep us going!

Wishing you all a wonderful and successful 2013!! It WILL be amazing.  Take a look at the Get The Look pieces from Tobi’s blog this past spring, all of the pieces have links for you too!  And while you are on her blog, take a look around, there are TONS of fabulous things to inspire you too!

I’m thrilled to be guest blogging for Tobi Fairley once again.  So today, I thought I would share two rooms from my portfolio that receive the most “where can I find that?” questions. A classic black & white design scheme with bold graphics, pops of color and glamorous accessories. Head over to Tobi’s blog to see how you can “get the look”!

I like to take my weekends to spend time with my hubby, the girls and catch up with my girlfriends so I missed sharing my guest post from Tobi Fairley’s Blog yesterday.  Tobi is doing a series full of fabulous guest bloggers called “All-American” and I am very flattered that she asked me to be a part of it.

I decided to talk about my top 5 Made in the USA products so had over to Tobi’s Blog to see who made my list!

Happy Friday everyone!  Just in case you don’t know, I own an online furniture & accessory boutique named Shop Ten 25.  The Shop has been the perfect addition to my interior design business, Studio Ten 25 and we recently celebrated the Shop’s 1st Anniversary back in March.

Today I wanted to send out a special thank you to all of the wonderful bloggers who support my Shop and have posted fabulous features with our products!   If you haven’t heard of these blogs please take a look, I promise you will find something you love.
