Best Friends Forever
It’s no surprise that we’re huge fans of Bravo’s show Million Dollar Decorators so imagine our excitement when we got to meet two of the devine designers, Mary McDonald and Nathan Turner, in Atlanta last week. Needless to say, these best friends are as stylish and funny in person as they were on the show.
Mary's Loves Glamour
After a wonderful slideshow which compared each designer’s version of Beach Chic, Luxe and Bohemian, Mary rolled up her fashionable zebra-print sleeves and signed her book for her fans.

What better way to start the new year than with a little design inspiration from this “decorating daredevil!” so we’re giving away a signed copy of Mary’s book The Allure of Style to a lucky reader.

I would love to win this! I am a big big fan of Mary’s and after watching (and thoroughly enjoying MMD) I liked her even more, she is a riot. Please count me in, wishing you a great weekend!
Would love to win this book. Mary’s interiors are so fresh, modern and classic at the same time. It will push me to make some changes at home this spring!
Congratulations on your 500th post and what fun that you got to meet those 2 design giants. I adore Mary’s work – so layered and glamorous – always something new to find.

LOVE Mary MacDonald!! Would love to add this book to my library!! Many thanks..
Everyone needs a little glamor in their lives, right?! I just love Mary McDonald. How great that she is as funny as she is talented (and gorgeous). I have to admit, I haven’t watched Million Dollar Decorators, but hear it’s addictive.

Can’t wait for Million Dollar Decorators to come back! Such fun watching Nathan and Mary together. Thank you for the giveaway.
I love Mary! It’s fascinating how her quirky humor manifests so glamorously in her designs. Her sense of whimsy is so refreshing. Thanks for this fun opportunity and congratulations!
I’m desperate for the next season to start – I miss it terribly. Only consolation is that I’m going to see Martyn L.B speak at a design fair next week – I know it will be delicious dahling! Love these two and love the show – Mary’s style is particularly divine and oh so glamorous. If I didn’t have kids I’d take more inspiration from her for our house, but I think I’ll have to wait for about 20 year for that level of glam.
What gorgeous photos! And what inspiration for freshening up a home or a room for spring.
I would love to win Mary’s book.
We are moving the bedrooms around in our house and choosing new colors and looks. It is wonderful to find these beautiful resources online for inspiration. Next month I’ll be at my favorite flea market in Paris (Vanves) with new ideas about what to seek out.
I would love to win your wonderful gift and give it to my Daughter on Mother’s Day. Thank you for your gracious gift!
