Jacquin: It's so great to be chatting with you today! Can you share a little about your blog and your inspiration behind your blog 726 sqft?
Tiffany: Hi! I'm Tiffany Jones, the artist, photographer, designer and blogger for 726 SQFT lifestyle blog and design studio. I'm originally from Richmond, VA, but I now call Atlanta, GA home. 726 SQFT is about being limitless in limited spaces, stepping outside of your comfort zone every now and then, and truly living the life you want no matter what. Do the things you love and you'll make yourself a better you!
Tiffany's DIY floating desk she made is a great space saver! See her floating desk tutorial here.
Jacquin: Tell us about your personal style. How is your personal style reflected in your home?
Jacquin: Have you done any do-it-yourself projects around your home that you've really been happy with?
Tiffany: I made the desk in my bedroom! Living in a one bedroom condo requires a bit of creativity in terms of fitting in a desk. I also wanted to save money since desks are so expensive, so I went the do-it-yourself route. It's been such a great solution because this floating desks only requires two legs and is attached to the wall. Perfect space saver! I made this floating desk from pipes, a glass top and drawer knobs. Check out the stylish doornob details in the photo of my desk below. You can find the tutorial for my DIY floating desk on my blog here.
Tiffany's pet dog, Max. He looks so friendly!
Jacquin: You
have the cutest dog! What's your favorite thing about your dog, Max?
Have you made any adjustments for your home's decor and furniture
since having a dog? Any tips for people decorating as dog owners?
Tiffany: Thank
you! I love his unconditional love and happy spirit. He'll be 7 years
old next month and he still has a puppy-like energy, it's infectious.
I've removed the carpet from my bedroom leaving the concrete exposed
and have woods and tile floors everywhere else. Carpet is tough with
a pet, I suggest replacing it with something easier to clean for pet
dander and any accidents. No matter what I do, Max finds a way to sit
on the couch while I'm not home so it was important for me to choose
a couch with removable, machine washable covers. He also likes to hop
on the bed while I'm sleeping so I keep a blanket just for him at the
end of the bed to keep the comforter clean.
Jacquin: What is your favorite space in your home?
Tiffany: My
bedroom! The most peaceful part of my day is relaxing in my bedroom
with peace and quiet. I have an awesome view of the Atlanta Skyline
and it's a beautiful place to watch the sunrise and sunset.
Jacquin: I saw that you're growing a potted lemon tree from a seed at home currently. What a great idea! I know the smell will be amazing, if it isn't already. How is your lemon plant doing? Any tips you've learned about growing a lemon tree plant since you've started?
Tiffany: I'm winging it! I know absolutely nothing but to give it plenty of sun and water. It's still very small, no lemons yet, I'm thinking it may take another year or so.
Jacquin: Studying fashion design sounds so exciting! How has attending school for Fashion Design prepared you for what you're doing today?
Tiffany: I currently work for Spanx as a Technical Designer so my background in Fashion Design has helped me tremendously. I focus on the fit of the garment and pattern-making which is a huge part of what I learned in school. In terms of my own business I've learned to incorporate design into all aspects of my life from interior to personal style. It's helped me to live a creative, inspired life.
Tiffany's relaxing balcony space at home.
Jacquin: What is inspiring you creatively right now?
Tiffany: I recently stumbled across Carol Erb's "Animal Intentions" collection and was completely inspired. I love the unexpected mix of interiors with nature and the animals. She sticks to a relatively neutral palette but incorporates small pops of color from nature. Nature's beauty is always inspiring, especially when incorporated into the home. You can see her work here.
