Do you have questions about design, remodeling, renovations? Questions... Why are designers so expensive? Designers always want to put there style on everything... Hey isn't this my place? What is the best way to _____? Well we are here to share all about what we do and what we know, we hope you enjoy the experience.
Art Henson with ArtHenson.com and Catch Marketing. Lets just say we (all of us at Miles Interiors) think he rocks in a creative way. Actually there is a whole lot of country in the guy so maybe he is "down home" therapy "yall". Interior designers really appreciate creative people like Art and we are no exception.
We got to visit Blue and the owner Alex Myrick . We should not forget to mention are great server Katy "Sounds Like Haiti" (Inside story)
Robert McDowell, Rita Miles, Ira Bass, Pierre Rattini, Alex Myrick
Blue is a wonderful place and we hope our pictures reflect on the great space, feel and fun. If not there are some great pictures on the website. If you have not been, the music is always fantastic and the food and wine were heavenly.
Katy and Buzz Bee
We had a blast Alex and Katy. Thanks for making the evening so fun. Please share your experience, critiques and kudos.
Are you prepared to get a head on taxes or avoid paying them? Well we hate to disappoint we have no answers for that. We do have a cost effective way to make you file cabinets look a lot better. So while you take time organizing and getting ready for tax time, you at least have something great to look at. I know we want a way to avoid taxes as well. Enjoy this interior design tip and use it in your office interior design plan or commercial interior design project, we promise it will be friendly to your pocket book and worth it visually.
Please share your experience, critiques and kudos.
What a small world we live in, you can run into friends everywhere and tonight was no exception as we wanted to see what the new place in town had to offer. Aria Tuscan Grill is a fun, welcoming place. The decor and layout included a great bar and wine area to the right when you first walk in, a chef's table in the kitchen and the dining straight ahead. The inside scoop from the friend was the food was great and so was the service and for a large party of 8 this was not an easy compliment to make.
The stairs upstairs lead to a relaxing lounge area to enjoy some wine or cocktails and discussion. See the pictures and tell us what you think.
Please share your experience, critiques, and kudos.
If there is therapy in a bottle of wine, we have found one of the young leaders of wine in the Queen City. Chris Gillespie of PRP Wines International has an amazing selection of wines. Chris, Rita Miles and Pierre Rattini (Me) are in the picture on the right and Chris is holding Buzz Bee.
The mission of PRP Wine International is to provide consistently top quality products to our clients.
Our wine is intended to increase our client's enjoyment in life...
Foster communication and build relationships with others...
And create a greater appreciation for the culture of fine wines.
As a participant in one of these tastings, I like to call it a trip to heaven. Chris made the experience incredibly fun, informative and very interactive. I learned so much, and tasted wine with so many different flavor profiles.
We highly recommend a personal wine tasting in the comfort of your home, with your best friends.
We thought you should here from Chris personally so here is a video.
The members of Charlotte Seen, Art Henson, Rita Miles and Pierre Rattini meet Ira Bass again. We didn't want anyone feeling left out so here is a video so you can meet Ira of IB Media. We like the guy what can we say. We spent some great time together at Blue and listened to some fabulous music together. The owner of Blue Alex Myrick was very welcoming and showed us an incredible time. We have some pictures to show you and vote on in an upcoming article. To finish the evening we stopped in to see the new place called aria and it was very nice. Stay tuned for pictures in an upcoming post on the blog to vote on what you like.

This is obviously a popular room with so many names so we wanted to share interior design ideas on how you can update the look and feel of this space.
Meeting with and working with amazing people should always be a priority, well we think so. How many people do you meet that inspire and motivate you? This week the members of Charlotte Seen, Art Henson with Catch Marketing, Rita Miles with Miles Interiors and Pierre Rattini with Biz Buzz Media got to spend time with Ira Bass of IB Media. Ira has over 25 years experience in strategic media planning and he is very knowledgeable. We found many similar philosophies and enjoyed spending time together discussing marketing placement and strategy as it relates to Charlotte Seen and Artful Competition.
Have you ever had a meeting where you meet someone for the first time and you feel like you had a conversation like long time friends. We did and we are very excited to work with and promote Ira Bass "Your Virtual Media Director"
One form of therapy comes from working with and spending time with talented people that make business and life fun. Thanks Ira.
