Friends By Design Podcast

We did it! We are so excited to launch our very first episode of Friends By Design.  If you love design as much as we love design, then you are in the right place.  In upcoming episodes we’ll chat about fabulous new products and innovations, and give you a sneak peek into the world of exciting projects, clients and deadlines.  From time to time we’ll be visiting great showrooms and introducing you to some of our ‘Friends’ who are also in the design world.  More than anything as we get started – we’d love to get your feedback.  If you have constructive criticism, topic suggestions, questions? please send them to Friends@FriendsByDesignPodcast.com  Our show notes will not be an exact transcript of the show, but we’ll definitely try to share great photos and links to anything that you might want to take a look at or get more information on! Meet your Hosts - Say hi to Hugh - Hugh@FriendsbyDesignPodcast.com Say hi to Judy - Judy@FriendsbyDesignPodcast.com Say hi to Shylo - Shylo@FriendsbyDesignPodcast.com Rapidly growing - Dallas Design District Brazilian quartzites have been an exciting addition to the design world in the last 10 or so years - check out this article on the history of Brazilian stone from Aria Stone Gallery. and yes, don't worry, Judy LOVES architects and Houzz!  LOL Hugh and Diane Keaton at her book signing, The House that Pinterest Built: 'I'm going on vacation and I'm taking my....'... let us know what you would take? (friends@friendsbydesignpodcast.com) One of Shylo's favorite old books - Tristram of Blent, by Anthony Hope   'I didn't know I needed that!?!' Segment: Hugh’s product was this stunning real turquoise tile. Judy’s product was this clever product for back-lighting more translucent stones such as onyx using a product like these LED tiles. During the show Shylo’s product was the in/undercounter cell phone charger.  This is very new technology (look for it to get more and more popular this coming year).  Here is one example from Federal Brace. Also during the show, Shylo & Judy mentioned how cool they thought it could be in a multiple cook house to have multiple induction burners placed strategically around the kitchen instead of in just one fixed location; like this Wolf Induction Module (yes, that's WOLF's 2-burner induction, not Sub-Zero's oops!) and for even more flexibility a couple of portable induction burners.   'From the drafting table' Segment: We'll check in with you next time Hugh  LOL Rough sketch/drawings to come!!  We'll give updates on these projects as we have them. Shylo's bar/non-bar project collaboration with Tonia at Le Belle Maison Shylo's artist & his wife's full kitchen and master bath remodel. Judy's re-maximizing a small space kitchen project.
