Recently, I contact the owner of Design Milk and requested her for an email interview. You might be thinking why did I choose Design Milk? Well, its because I like her blog. I think Design Milk is one of the more established but young players. Her blog basically talks about almost everything about design, from furniture, DIY stuffs and more. Here is the interview.
1) Can you give me a brief introduction of yourself, when did u started
out and what do you blog about?
My name is Jaime and I began writing Design Milk in the summer of 2006 because a) I was bored at work, b) I desperately needed a creative outlet, c) I believe that the Internet is one of the most amazing inventions of all time and I wanted to become a part of it, d) I am very independent and I hope to one day work for myself on my own terms.
I’m also an avid blog reader – I have 31 blogs subscriptions on my Google Reader and I periodically visit about 20 others.
2) I understand you have been blogging for more than a year and the half
now. Have you ever thought of stopping n give up blogging? Which is the most difficult part of your blogging career?
I have thought of stopping on days when I am too busy to blog because I have bloggers’ guilt – which is basically feeling badly that I cannot blog all day every day. I don’t like missing a day for any reason.
For me, the most difficult part of blogging is that I currently cannot do it for a living. I wish I could spend my day on the blog and my online shop, vitamin d(esign). Unfortunately, I’m just not there yet.
3) Currently, in your home, which piece of furniture do you like the most?
My favorite piece of furniture is probably my new workstation (I’ve attached a photo). It’s actually a kitchen island I bought from Ikea.

4) Any tips/advice do you have for people looking for coffee tables?
Anything they should be looking out for?
Coffee tables are a difficult purchase because they serve so many functions: dining table, footrest, bookshelf, entertainment center, even storage. When making a decision about purchasing a coffee table, you must first consider its daily functions.
5) what are some of the areas do you think people always overlook when
getting furniture for themselves?
I think the most important thing about furniture is whether you like it. Sometimes liking something is more about function than looks. Sometimes it is about a piece’s past, such as your grandmother’s dining table. For me, form and function must be harmonious. However, I have been known to like some truly hideous things…I guess it sometimes depends on your taste. My
advice is: try not to overlook reality when making a purchase.
6) Any more thoughts or advice you want to offer to my readers?
Thanks for continuing to support bloggers!
I would like to Jaime for agreeing to do the interview with me even though I’m still a new kid on the block. I do urge you to visit Jaime at her blog and check out the latest designs and also her creative and wonderful products. You can also feel free to consult her on her products and advice. By the way, I just checked out her shop at vitamin d(esign). I would say plenty of lovely items. Ladies, do check the shop out!
