The most important element of design...You!

I am writing today to give you the BEST design advice out there. Period.
I know, I know, sounds very arrogant of me huh...well...hmm

It is so easy to get wrapped up in "hot new" trends, tips, DIY projects and mail order catalog overload!
Sometimes I have even found myself leaning towards design projects or DIYs that really aren't "me" just for the fun of doing them with friends!
Does this sound familiar?
The most important element of design is YOU!

Remember that and stay true to "you" and your designs, colors, fabrics and furnishings will always be a perfect fit for your family!

What works for one isn't always the best bet for another.
Keep in mind your family, your activities and create your beautiful custom space!

A special thanks to LAP for this special inspiration pic of how great design fits perfectly in her busy and loving home! :)
Such a cutie!

Love our Fall Pumpkins

I love the Fall & I love my pumpkins!

Here is a great tip I heard today & just had to share... keep our pumpkins looking good through the month! 
Before you place your pumpkins out on the stone, brick or cement stairs & porches, place them on a box or a disc of cardboard.
The cardboard will block the water absorbtion and the pumpkins will last longer (& rot slower)!

So what is "tabby"?

Tabby~ a cement made of lime, sand or gravel, and oyster shells, mixed with salt water and used chiefly along the coast of South Carolina and Georgia in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Why design & tabby?
To me, tabby represents all the best things, in design & in a life done well.

Tabby is sturdy, beautiful, rustic, sharp, elegant, historical, from nature, from the sea, resourceful, sustainable , renewable

I love it. I love the look, I love the feel, I love the story.
This is my inspiration.

My Designer Bio & Background!

Kacey Myers, an Allied Member of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), takes great pride in addressing the client’s life, vision and needs- whether the venture is a residential paint color consultation or an inclusive renovation of a corporate facility. A successful design project, for Kacey, starts and completes with a satisfied client. "I take a basic approach to design. The client is the most important element… Heath, safety and welfare are key components of functional design. These items are often overlooked, but are the most important aspects. The design has to function, not only be aesthetically pleasing…”

In the eleven years since beginning her professional design career, Kacey Myers has become the versatile go-to for all things design. Her client background and professional experience is as diverse as a painter’s palette. From work with University Presidents, Fortune 500 Companies, Real Estate Developers to Retirees, Philanthropic Organizations and New Homeowners…every project is regarded as a great opportunity to produce something the client had never dreamed possible. That “wow” moment.

Kacey pursued her Interior Design career after obtaining her Bachelor of Science degree from Western Carolina University. While working for some of the most esteemed companies in design, Kacey was able to get first-hand experience in the areas of Architectural Design, Cabinetry Design and Full Custom Interiors.

At age 24, she found herself running her own design company while maintaining a full-time career and a growing family. Over the years, Kacey continued to cultivate her design business and devoted to it exclusively in 2004. Kacey Myers Interior Design has been awarded, and completed, many contracts along the East Coast and continues to grow business relations nationally and internationally. In 2010, Kacey Myers, as an Independent Consultant for Willow House, has broadend her reach to the public. Offering in-home design parties, seminars and online shopping available nationwide.

Personally, a firm believer in giving back the community, Kacey is very active in local civic and volunteer organizations and volunteers time and design services to many worthy agencies and non-profit groups.
Professionally, as an Allied Member of ASID since 1997, Kacey has also continued her education and remains at the forefront of the design community by assisting the local Chapter and attending numerous design events yearly. Kacey has been the host and Guest Speaker at numerous design seminars and workshops and has offered Career Counseling to school-age children.

Kacey continues to practice in all aspects of design with creative panache. She thrives through her love of nature and color and the anticipation of upcoming design endeavors.
