"Getting Ready . . . "


Greetings,

It's been another crazy, busy week around here once at SMW Design again.  Keeping our various design projects clipping along.  And also putting the finishing details on our upcoming event "Designing Your Holidays, with Scot Meacham Wood" on November 3rd.  Eeeeek.  Only two weeks away.  If you'd like more info, look HERE.  It's basically like throwing a seminar, a cocktail party, and three dinner parties on the same night.  It's gonna be great fun.  And informative.  And hilarious.

So I've been culling through images of parties I've worked on.  And through old photo-shoots.  And grinning from ear-to-ear with all the great memories . . .


Last Year at my Holiday Party . . . 
A few friends over.  Holiday 2008 . . . 
Photo Shoot for Holiday 2009
Holiday 2008 at the house . . .
A small New Year's Eve Dinner Party . . .

Some last-minute fussing . . . lol . . . 
And a special 'thank you' to the sponsors of the event - Lisa Davis from Kravet, Rhonda Hirata (from the San Francisco Design Center), and California Home + Design Magazine for all their help in promoting our seminar.

Cheers,
Scot

My Gracious! A veritable feast for the eyes...I just want to eat those table settings up with a big spoon! The rooms are absolutely fabulous. Everything you do is divine - wish you could come do my Atlanta house.

Looking at photos of Christmas where there is an actual real Christmas tree is such a treat !
There are no real Christmas trees here , Christmas comes in the summer here ... I do miss North America at this time of year :)
I love your photos though ~

Always fun to see shots of your home and entertaining style. The upcoming event sounds fabulous.
Just read the previous post about the new book. I'm adding it to my wish list. ;-)

Scot, you are a Master! I wish I could live in just a little bit of your world! I hope I can make it to your event next week!

Every party looks better than the last, but I especially love your "flash dance" shirt in the first photo. ;D

Katie -

It's my "incredible-hulk-flower-arranging" shirt. And it gets more than its fair share of wear . . . lol . . .

cheers,
Scot

Your parties are always amazing. With an amazingly well styled home as your backdrop, who wouldn't want to drop by and be entertained here.

Hello,

Wow, this is a pleasure for the eyes. Too bad that we live so far apart otherwise I was definitely a customer of you.

PS I love that shirt torn at the first picture. It looks very sexy:-)

Have a nice weekend

I so enjoy your blog and design style. It is amazingly refreshing compared to what is available here in Indiana. Thinking Christmas this year and saw your notes on your Holiday party of last year..... Love your white roses/evergreens/lemons with ornaments arrangement in the raised silver bowl. Would love to know some tips on how you did that. The best is your elegant buffet setting with the massive wood cutting board for food offerings; the juxtaposition of the elements creates such a pleasing mixture.
Thank you for sharing your talents with the world. Regards, Jean (great grandparents, came from Lerwick, Shetland Isles in 1800's).
