Along the road of my career and travels, I've been extremely fortunate to meet and work with an array of incredibly talented people. Ramblings is my way of picking their brain for more insight and juicy tidbits to share with you.
Joy and Janet are lifelong friends who started their blog, moggit.com because they thought the design world was taking itself a little seriously... The blog's tongue-in-cheek approach was an instant hit, and Joy and Janet haven't looked back since! They've been featured in HGTV.com in a series of videos, on The Nate Berkus Show, as well as in numerous prestigious magazines and newspapers including as Canadian fave 'Style At Home' and the Toronto Star, as well as numerous fabulous blogs.
What is your greatest extravagance?
Joy: My AGA cooker. It was a great expense at the time but one that was well worth it.
Janet: I don’t do extravagant. Yet...
What career would you pursue if you weren’t doing what you do now?
Joy: Anything involving working with dolphins and puppies.
Janet: Whatever Joy would be doing (‘cuz I don’t want to work with anybody else!)... so I guess dolphins and puppies.
Which living person do you most admire?
Joy: My Mom hands down. She is the epitome of faith and grace.
Janet: My kids-- all three of them. They teach me new things every day!
What three things can’t you live without?
Joy: Wine, vodka and champagne. Just kidding - My family, wine and chocolate. ;)
Janet: My answer is trite but true-- my family, my family, and my family.
What is your guilty pleasure?
Joy: Trash/Reality TV. I love RHONY but I’m classy in that I draw the line at the Maury Povich’s and Jerry Springer’s of the world.
Janet: Historical romance novels. There, I said it.
What is your favorite color combination?
Joy: Right now I am loving grey and cream. Not a very exciting choice but very soothing and relaxing.
Janet: Pale yellows and creams... I can never get enough!
What is the favorite room in your house, and why?
Joy: I’d have to say my living room as it is the place where we all hang out. There’s room enough for all of us and it’s where we like to kick back, watch tv, listen to music and generally get on each other’s nerves.
Janet: My bedroom. It’s still very much a work in progress, but it’s my refuge form the world-- and my kids! ;)
What is the most memorable event you’ve attended and why?
Joy: My parent’s 50th wedding anniversary party. It was a beautiful, hot sunny day in July and we were surrounded by family and friends to celebrate. My parents were beyond thrilled and it was an honor to host a party celebrating such a milestone in their lives. The cleaning up part afterwards I coulda done without...but hey... ;)
Janet: Going on a couples trip to NYC with my hubby and my BFF... not really an ‘event’ but a definite highlight for me!
What would people be surprised to know about you?
Joy: I have been known to willingly eat the occasional freeze-dried grasshopper.
Janet: I can tie a cherry stem into a knot-- without using my hands. It’s a gift.
What is your biggest pet peeve?
Joy: Old men who whistle and think everyone around them is enthralled. The only person that enjoys whistling is the whistler!
Janet: When people crunch chips in my ear.
