Thad's work is so clean and edited and the book is a feast for those of us who appreciate symmetry, clarity and elegance.<br /><br /><a href="http://thadhayes.com/portfolio/3/3.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://thadhayes.com/portfolio/3/3.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 436px; height: 218px;" /></a>From modern sleek to traditional glamour - Thad brings his clean aesthetic to each of his projects.<br /><br /><a href="http://thadhayes.com/portfolio/5/5.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://thadhayes.com/portfolio/5/5.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 319px; height: 387px;" /></a><br /><a href="http://thadhayes.com/portfolio/6/3.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://thadhayes.com/portfolio/6/3.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 442px; height: 298px;" /></a><br />I very much enjoyed chatting with Thad about his career, his background in landscape design and and his belief that this is a great time for young designers to thrive - despite the economy.<br /><br />And a great tip: Every six months, Thad reviews his own home and removes a few things from the space. It's a great way to keep things fresh and well edited.<br /><br />So, please enjoy my chat with Thad Hayes and if you get a chance, I highly recommend picking up the book - or asking your local library to order one asap!<br /><br /><a href="http://thadhayes.com/about/photo.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://thadhayes.com/about/photo.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 191px;" /></a><br /><br /> <div><br /><object align="middle" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" height="25" id="mp3playerlightsmallv3" width="210"><br /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain"><br /><param name="movie" value="http://www.podbean.com/podcast-audio-video-blog-player/mp3playerlightsmallv3.swf?audioPath=http://surroundings.podbean.com/medias/play/aHR0cDovL21lZGlhNi5wb2RiZWFuLmNvbS8xMDI3ODMvdS9UaGFkSGF5ZXMubXAz/ThadHayes.mp3&autoStart=no"><br /><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><br /><embed src="http://www.podbean.com/podcast-audio-video-blog-player/mp3playerlightsmallv3.swf?audioPath=http://surroundings.podbean.com/medias/play/aHR0cDovL21lZGlhNi5wb2RiZWFuLmNvbS8xMDI3ODMvdS9UaGFkSGF5ZXMubXAz/ThadHayes.mp3&autoStart=no" quality="high" name="mp3playerlightsmallv3" allowscriptaccess="sameDomain" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" align="middle" width="210" height="25"></embed><br /></object><br /><br /><a href="http://www.podbean.com/" style="border-bottom: medium none; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 41px; color: rgb(45, 162, 116); text-decoration: none;">Powered by Podbean.com</a><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=chameleoninte-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=0847830810&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="width: 120px; height: 240px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/40/61AD69B5456EE9E48D48218DA34439B1.png" style="border: 0pt none ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" /></a><br /><br /><p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/EQjz" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img alt="" src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon16x16.png" style="border: 0pt none ; vertical-align: middle;" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/EQjz" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">Subscribe to ::Surroundings::</a></p>

We had a lovely chat - which you can listen to by clicking the podcast player above. Please note - in my introduction, I mistakenly said Jen was winner of Season 2 of Design Star - that was Kim Myles (David Bromstad was Season 1 winner). Also, please forgive my coughing and hoarse voice - am recovering from a cold! I also interviewed Jen last summer, which you can read <a href="http://chameleon-interiors.blogspot.com/2008/07/design-star-3-chatting-with-jennifer.html">here</a>.<br /><br />A teaser single episode version of Jennifer's new show <a href="http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/on_tv/show/0,1000145,HGTV_32663_950,00.html">Paint Over!</a> will air at 4:00PM on Thursday, January 1st. A chance to take a break from football! Click on over to HGTV for some of Jennifer's makeover and paint tips. Oh, and on January 8th - Jen squares off against S2 winner Kim Myles on "Design Showdown".<br /><br />Jen - thanks so much for stopping by and the best of luck with everything!
