HI! My name is Stafford. Just to clear it up: Yes, it's my first name. Yes, it's my real name!

I live in endlessly charming Cambridge, MA by way of the Virginia and D.C. area. My idea of a dream house is an adorably-sized cottage surrounded by plenty of trees.

My favorite hobby (aside from being an avid "foodie") is driving down that pretty block in the neighborhood (you know, the one with the tree-lined street) and swooning over how adorable the houses are. The neighborhood almost always has an excessive amount of greenery, porches and charm. Very "Father of the Bride." That's my happy place! Well, aside from Boston Public Garden any day of the year.

I’m an interior designer for homebodies!

home • bod • y (n.) a person who prefers pleasures and activities that center around the home

Fluffing the pillows on my sofa every morning is basically therapeutic to me. I love to tidy up on weekends and move things around. Are you with me? Say hi!

## Community Q&A

**Q: In love with that coffee table!** *(in Photo Questions)*

I have a Turkish rug that's a bit darker and have been struggling for months to figure out the best type of coffee table to contrast with it (and I hate glass tables). Any chance you know where you got this one from? I want a square one, but I might settle for rectangle because this one seems perfect!

A: Hi! This particular one is from West Elm and has a marble top - I love a good marble table! This comes and goes from their inventory but I've also seen similar at Room & Board and such. A nice alternative to a wood or glass table (right there with you on the glass), so it's worth a search! It will also help lighten up your darker rug with some nice contrast. :) Hope this helps!!

**Q: Love the smoky lady painting!** *(in Photo Questions)*

Do you remember where it came from?

A: Yes m'am! It's from Photos.com, called "Girl Smoking" and it's fabulous. :) Comes in a variety of sizes / frame options, too! Hope this helps!

**Q: fan** *(in Photo Questions)*

where can one buy this fan? thanks

A: Hi! This exact one was from RH Teen!

**Q: Turkish rug** *(in Photo Questions)*

Hi could you possibly tell me which etsy store you purchased it from?  I'm so in love with your style and have been hunting like a mad woman trying to find one similar!!

Thank you 

Fiona

A: Hi! So sorry but I can't remember the exact Etsy shop it was from. :( The good news is that if you search "vintage turkish kilim" you will probably find plenty of awesome options! :)

**Q: Love the rug!** *(in Photo Questions)*

You have great style and this design is stunning! Where did you source the area rug? Thanks in advance :)

A: Hi Erin! Thank you! The rug is a vintage Turkish kilim found on Etsy. You could also try looking on OneKingsLane for cool vintage rugs. Good luck!

**Q: Filing cabinets** *(in Photo Questions)*

Trying to find these or similar filing cabinets...they are either too short or too heigh to us like this as a desk??

A: Hi! I'm not sure how to answer your question, but these are the Alex filing cabinets with a kitchen countertop (both from IKEA). My own desk at home has a similar setup, with Helmer drawers and a countertop, and it works great as a desk for me! You may need a chair that sits a little lower than a dining chair height for best compatibility with this desk configuration. Hope this helps!
