My friend V introduced me to my first love- Domino magazine. Before "green" was stylish, she used to offer me her archived shelter magazines. I remember sifting through piles of magazines and pulling out the Domino. I would lay across her sofa with the sun pouring into the space reading from front to back-gulping the colorful images. I was in love! It was everything I loved in one place. Tonight I had the pleasure of meeting the Founding Editor of Domino magazine-Deborah Needleman. She was here for a book signing at Room and Board on 14th Street. Her book is "The Perfectly Imperfect Home". Buy it!
The 4th floor of Room and Board was neatly packed with blogger, designers and other inspired people-all there for Deborah. She took her time with each person who requested her signature on their "Perfect" book. It was simply an amazing experience for me. I can remember flipping through Domino magazine and seeing the "letter from the Editor" along with the picture of Deborah always perfectly dressed with a genuine smile. During our meeting, I found her to be present, kind and approachable..easy to talk with. She received each person as though she was receiving them into her home. She spent 5 minutes (sometimes more) with each person-sharing a little about herself while also sharing interest in her guests.
As I write this and reflect on my meeting, I can not help but feel inspired to:
1. Continue to blog
2. Continue to express myself through design/decorating
I thank Deborah for her visit to DC and hope to meet her again.

Was so great to see you and catch up. Hope you're enjoying the book!
Yes, it was nice to run into you (as I didn't expect to know anyone there). It was great meeting the other bloggers as well!
I started reading the book this morning. Def a good read!
Excellent! I'm off to see if my local library has a copy.
It's very unique..unlike any other design book i've seen. I am really excited about reading it.
