Bailey,
I got to your blog through Style Me Pretty and have to admit that I blog-stalked you for a few hours the other evening… LOVE everything about it and your amazing new abode!
I would probably stick to some variation on your name and leave out the cheese. It’s going to be your logo/website and portfolio that express your personality and sense of style. Most of the prominent designers just go by their names and I would likely follow suit if I were in your position. I think that some small businesses should not have the owner’s name on the door–but with interior design, if that is your passion and if you are going to be involved in the company as long as it exists then it is no problem.
As far as your logo and any other branding collateral–it’s got to reflect your style without being polarizing–you don’t want to deflect a more conservative client who is dying to break out of her beige and taupe rut. Oh, and double thick letterpressed business cards are a must
That is my two cents! All the best of luck on your future endeavors!

PB Design Aesthetic: spot on. classy, yet fun. elegant, with a twist. corky, witty, wildly entertaining! you bring the flavor!

Decorating business name: Bailey Quin Self and Home. BQ Self and Home, Bailey Quin. This way you could have a “Daniel” collection with a little Texas flavor and a “McCarthy” collection with Chicago/urban flavor, etc.

Logo: If you were to go with Bailey Quin Self and Home. I would play with your initials, BQ. Fine soft lines, the Q perhaps overlapping the bottom of the B so it is a little “off”. I have visuals, but cannot put it here. I think the lower case of those letters could be pretty too! I’m playing around with fonts so I’ll pass something along if it’s good!

What are you about: I think all the things listed in PB aesthetic. You love design, you have a great eye for it, and it shows!

Good luck! I’ll be following via facebook (shared the link on my facebook wall again today).

Talking to my sister on the phone about your blog as we speak and your interior design name. She told me about the nasty comment posted above. I will hit her for you. You’re perpetually perfect in every way. I agree with Tiffany, Design Bliss.

I love your style. I think there’s so much you could do with a logo – I’m thinking a striped peppermint candy with a block text below it. I think it’s so fun to come up with branding ideas that can you be used on all of your materials.

I’m drooling over this giveaway! I have loved iomoi’s designs for quite some time.

i so hope i haven’t missed the giveaway – i am obsessed with iomoi trays and in desperate need of a chic, fabulous, monogrammed pickmeup

i truly adore this blog and your design aesthetic. i think you offer a really creative and fun way to be traditional and current at the same time. your vision incorporates new and exciting trends in a way that will endure – and that you wont get sick of in a year! i think a name or brand should somehow tap into that really fun duality – something like the “New Traditional” or the “Chic Timeless” approach … a really cool hip monogram logo would be perfect, using the traditional (and amazing) concept of a monogram but with a fun very of-the-moment font versus something scripty, scrolly or more dated. i also sort of just LOVE your use of the word peppermint, it evokes a really fun fresh happy thought thats kind of irresistible… what about something like Peppermint Presentations and a really cool PP monogram logo? something that captures both the chic lifestyle you help people to achieve, and the comfortable livable room they will grow with for years to come.

thank you so much for the AMAZING giveaway, i couldn’t be more pumped about it! xox
