Summary

I have another fun show for you today! Taylor Spellman is with us today. Taylor is a New York-based interior designer and staging expert. She is also the host of Bravo’s new TV show “Yours Mine or Ours”. No matter what she is designing- whether it be a 10-million-dollar penthouse, the lobby of a high-rise or the showroom for a fashion client-- her super down to earth personality combined with her bold style makes her a stand out in our interior design community. Taylor has the unique and unteachable talent using high end one of a kind pieces to an afternoon spent at the Goodwill. Today you will learn how she came from humble beginnings and now has a million dollar clientele in New York City. Show Notes: Did Taylor go to school for interior design? What are some pros for an interior designer that was not classically trained in the interior design field? What do Taylor’s clients have in common? How did she decide she wanted to work with men for her niche? How long did she research her idea for her niche before launching the idea? What did Taylor go to school for? What were Taylor’s intentions for her career? What is Taylor’s competitive edge? Nothing just happens! How did she discover staging as another niche? How did she find events to attend in real estate and build relationships? Why is it a good idea to have a lawyer? What opportunities came about before “Yours Mine or Ours”? What is the show “Yours Mine or Ours” about? Is it all just about real estate when helping clients with their homes? How does she execute her design on the show? Where do her girls from her business fit in while Taylor is working on set? Is there any other advice she would give to her colleagues? The rest of the show notes are in our resource center: Window Works
