Debbie Designer walks us through a very ironic color trends seminar at the Boutique Design New York show at the Jacob K. Javits Center in New York a few weeks ago.

Debbie Designer is celebrating Halloween with her readers with a few hair-raising finds from one of the most unlikely of places. Guess you're not safe anywhere these days...

Debbie delivers an uncharacteristically inspirational message, all thanks to the one and only David Rockwell.

Last Thursday I found myself in the new Milliken showroom on 31^st and 5^th, watching the sun slowly turn the Garment District orange. It was LMNOP’s annual Summer Benefit for Architecture and Design Professionals.

A couple weeks ago I went to Sacco Carpet's 10th Anniversary party, and I--dare I say it? Thoroughly enjoyed myself. 

After two events that left two very different tastes in her mouth, Debbie gives a few pointers on how to keep your crowd engaged at your next showroom soiree.

Debbie comments on the exaggerated coverage of Houston's death and how it begs the question...where do our values lie as a society? She compares it to the passing of sustainability trailblazer Ray Anderson last year.

After a few weeks of research, one week of getting over the worst New Year’s Eve hang over I’ve ever experienced and another spent getting over the worst design hangover I’ve ever experienced after watching the “gowns” that paraded down the red carpet for the Golden Globes, I’m finally ready to stick it to the manufacturing man.
