As many of you know, Courtney and I are just two boss babes creating beautiful spaces for wonderful people while attempting to run our own company! As small business owners, we do try to balance it all; but time gets away from us and unfortunately it is a little difficult to keep our owners meeting on the books! (You know how that goes!) That said, we decided to put some FUN back into the functional part of our business and create a small series of blogs called #designerswhodine. The idea was cultivated from our passion to wine, dine and support local businesses!! We'll highlight a variety of topics from business tips/struggles, comments on the cuisine, and last but never least - decor, ambiance, styling, etc.! Get the picture? Well, if not - see a small sample below!!

First up - the most important meal of the day and a breakfast favorite of ours, Northside Kitchenette. This cozy spot makes you feel right at home with the freshest ingredients and friendly staff! We love meeting here to split an omelette (or two) and discuss business over coffee. Yesterday, we stopped in to discuss some last minute details for a current project and as we dined I couldn't stop obsessing over their lighting! As Spring rolls in, I have been very drawn to bamboo lighting and its ability to add warmth and texture to a space! The strands of lights and boxwood wall make this space feel like you are relaxing in your own backyard - who doesn't want to feel that way when they grab a bite?! Join us in supporting this fabulous local spot http://www.northsidekitchenette.com!!

Come back and read each month as we develop our business while stuffing our faces!
