Friday Guest Blog Interview: Monica Pedersen

Happy Friday! We have had such a busy week here at the house – a new wall is near built! We just poured the concrete footings for a little raised garden bed and we’re about ready to officially start on the deck. Plus the house is alllmost finished with its exterior painting and we’re on to the windows next (still undecided on the trim – but thank you for the comments and emails! they have been really, really helpful).

Before the weekend arrives, I’ll send you off with a Friday Guest Blog Interview with none other than Monica Pedersen, the talented author behind Make It Beautiful and a designer on HGTV’s “Designed to Sell”. I am honored to have her join me at PDB today.

Monica is also a co-host of HGTV’s Dream Home Giveaway and HGTV’s Bang 4 Your Buck. She joins us to share more about her passion for entertaining and how she incorporates fashion, textiles and favorite trends into home decor choices and beautiful parties. Plus a few sneak peek images of Monica’s newest coffee table book…

On to the interview!

Friday Guest Blog Interview: Emily of Jones Design Company

Welcome to another Friday! Ahhh… I can already feel the adventurous (and relaxing) spirit of the weekend beckoning. There’s nothing like a good Friday.

I’m very excited to be joined by Emily of Jones Design Company today as I welcome another guest blogger to this very irregular Friday Guest Blog Interview series. I am always thrilled when I come across a like-minded blogger that someone somewhere recommends that I follow… and I hope that through this interview series you will find a few new wonderful, captivating blogs that you really dig, too. Plus it is always fun to hear design tips & tricks from other friendly and fun bloggers out there.

Jones Design Company is a blog that I have subscribed to for a while now primarily for the wonderful family values that Emily shares through her regular design/home related posts. She’s creative, thoughtful and very conscientious of the beauty of design – from the simple (a delicious recipe) to the detailed (the homey abode that she’s created for her family – a preview after the jump). I think that you will enjoy {love!} her style too, and I invite you to listen in as she answers my usual four interview questions.

I’ll see you after the jump!
