Overheard in the Office

Here are a few of the commonly heard phrases in the Designing Solutions/Slobproof! Office, courtesy of Debbie Wiener:

“It’s making me meshugana!”

“I’m off like a bride’s bra.”

“Make it happen cap’n!”

 

I always imagine something like this when Debbie tells me to “Make it Happen Cap’n”

 

I hope you all enjoyed this “Desk in the Middle” special, happy Monday!

Bob Vila Loves Me!

From Bob Vila's Blog - "As this post publishes, Superbowl XLVI is 1 day, 16 hours, 16 minutes and …45…44…43 seconds from kick-off—at least according to the official countdown clock on the NFL site. If you are not one of the 63,000 lucky fans who will be cheering their team to glory at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Sunday, you will surely be catching the game with friends at a Superbowl party, sports bar, or from the comfort of home. If the comfort of your home happens not to be on par with the “man cave” above (from interior designer Debbie Wiener)."

A nice note from a client!

I just saw this in my inbox this morning, and it was such a nice note I had to share it!

 
“Hi Debbie. The ottoman is fantastic! We are both sitting on the comfy couch with our feet up.  No discussion of who gets to put their feet up, how much of the ottoman is required by the other person, who worked harder that day and thus should have more or all of the ottoman. And the best part, it makes my living room look fantastic while housing a few of my son’s army of trucks.”

We came, we saw, we designed!

On a tight budget of $30,000, we redesigned this condo’s high-rise party room…

What did we do?

  • Added new, comfortable seating to accommodate more guests, as well as a new, larger rug to anchor the main seating area.
  • Installed plantation shutters to lighten and brighten the dark room and allow a better view out to the terrace.
  • Recycled existing dining tables by re-laminating the surface in black to coordinate it with our new media console and side tables.
  • Added new wall color, new art, and new lighting to modernize and refresh the party room. 

 Now this condo’s party room can accommodate more guests for more entertaining!

Slobproof! on Ellen?

Another “Desk in the Middle” photoshop creation has been unearthed!  Does anyone remember this gem?  It is one of our early photoshop images for our blog, meant to be a joke about how much we wanted to be on Ellen…but people thought the photo was real!  But if anyone does know a way we can get on Ellen, please let us know!

Happy Monday!

Picture of a Pensive Pup

This pensive pup loves the softness and durability of his comfy Slobproof! sofa,

or maybe he just loves the matching dog pillow!

The chair is a hit!

This post was supposed to be about the chair…but these boys definitely steal the show!

Looks like this newly reupholstered chair is a hit with this family!

Want to hear Debbie sing?

I have the pleasure of hearing Debbie sing everyday but if you want to experience it for yourself, give us a call! If Debbie is around she will definitely sing you one of her greatest hits!  Kiki Dee’s “I’ve Got the Music in Me” is one of Debbie’s favorites.

Happy Monday everyone!

P.S. Sorry for the “Desk in the Middle” hiatus, things have been crazy over here with the launch of our new Slobproof! Paint Pen.
