10 questions with samantha pynn
You know those email surveys that you fill out, and then forward to the next person? I askedÂ
Samantha Pynn, host of
HGTV's Pure Design and Contributing Design Editor here at
STYLE AT HOME to fill out my own version... Here goes!
Heels or flats?
"
Heels!"
Favourite art?
"I love so many different types of art. Sculpture, glass, painting, photos. I love Virginia Macdonald's photography, and so many of the gorgeous paintings from Art Interiors; Lisa and Shira have a wonderful eye for talent."
Favourite rooms?
"Living and dining. I grew up in a house with an open living/dining room at the front of the house. We used that space for reading, listening to music, playing and of course dining - we were just in them all the time and I love and live in my living/dining room the most. It's usually the most finished and gracious room in the house, and for me, the most lived-in."
Favourite gadget? "I am a gadget reject. But I love my pink Canon camera. These days I am all about documenting life."
Favourite neighbourhood restaurant?
"Fresh by Juice for Life! Is Starbucks a restaurant?"
Bag or clutch? "Big bag! I carry everything. I never know when I'm going to need a tape measure or floral snips!"
Who inspires you in interior design?
"Steven Gambrel, Thom Filicia, David Overholt - former design editor at STYLE AT HOME, interior designer and my mentor. Julia Black and Malcolm Patterson -- two designers who I work with and adore. We've been together since season one of Pure Design."
Favourite eco-friendly decorating item? "Vintage furniture! I just pulled over and lifted a settee into the back of my hatch!"
Favourite design you've created? "So hard... I madeover a seventeen-year-old girl's room last year, and I could've moved in!"
Favourite place in the world?
"Home." Thanks Sam!
