I feel very fortunate to be in a position where praising, bragging on and featuring so many supremely talented interior designers is just a great part of the job. Ashley Goforth is one of those super talented interior designers and she happens to be right here in Houston! Ashley's designs are sophisticated, crisp and classic. Using large scale pieces, textures, prints and simple designs, Ashley gives each space a cozy and refined look. Well done, Houston gal!

I LOVE talking up Houston's local businesses and the locals that I am going to talk about now are the peeps over at Plus Design. Plus Design is headed by designer and founder, Marty Joyce. Marty has over a decade of experience in creating custom furniture pieces and architectural fixtures for homes and businesses. You can see some of Plus Design's handiwork at local Houston businesses such as Settlement Goods and Paulie's. Here, here! Take a look. Well done, Marty! : )
