COTE DE TEXAS: The Skirted Roundtable: Scot Meacham Wood

The Skirted Roundtable: Scot Meacham Wood

This week, The Skirted Roundtable welcomes Scot Meacham Wood of SMW Design.   An interior designer and noted musician, Scot surprised us with an a Capella serenade!   That’s a first, for sure!   Scot tells us all about his start in the business working for Ralph Lauren and we discuss how Lauren’s influence can be seen in some of his projects.  Scot is also a popular blogger who writes Tartanscot, a play on words for his love of all things tartan.   During the interview, Scot tells us about his interior design business, explaining how he works and his creative process.  As always, it’s so interesting to learn how other interior designers handle their jobs – it’s such a learning experience and an opportunity to compare and connect with others in the business.  We thoroughly enjoyed our talk with him, he’s such an old-fashioned southern gentleman, although he has lived all over the world and is definitely a Scotsman at heart!!

The master bedroom in the Hamptons house.  This is a favorite of mine and I really see a Ralph Lauren vibe in this room.  Love the slips and wallpaper, and I love that blanket!!

  5. Loved to see this post on Scot, follow his blog regularly.
    It's always a pleasure to visit your blog, each time I come away thinking that the Americans are miles ahead of us europeans on interior design.
    OK we've got the authentic decors, and the old materials but you're the ones with the talent for finishing and the eye for detail.

  11. I have owned Gallery Classic(10,000 sq.') in Topeka, Kansas since 1987. I'm an artist and we import antiques from Europe. I started a blog about 6 weeks ago and would love to link to your blog if it's ok with you. My blog is www.galleryclassic.blogspot.com. I'm always SO busy at the shop but I love blogging (still have a LOT to learn). Love your blog! Kristen White
