Scout Debbie's Eight Must-Haves

Last, but not least, in the highly anticipated Scout series of Eight Things We Can't Live Without is Debbie.

1. Cucina soap- I first fell in love with Cucina when I was visiting my sister and I thought my brother-in-law had gotten a new cologne. That’s how good it smells!

2. GPS- driving to clients’ houses and scouting for treasures- I can’t live without it.

3. Matelasse coverlets- almost every bed in my house has one. They are the greatest because you can wash them and put them straight back on the bed. And they go with everything.

4. Red Wine & Dark Chocolate- Give me these and I'm in hog heaven.

5. Things passed down from my GG- my most treasured possessions are those things given to me by my maternal grandmother, a style icon. 6. Silver hoop earrings- I guess you could call these part of my uniform.

7. Garden Stool- this is probably one of the greatest pieces of furniture ever created. Mine is next to my le Corbusier until I need it somewhere else- the porch, extra seating, parties, whatever. So versatile.

8. My sissy- my sister is the biggest fan of my design and has been so supportive. Plus, she gives me free reign in her house! Look for pics of her new living room soon.

Things She Can't Live Without- Jean's Eight

Hi everyone! This is Jean. Jean, meet everyone.This is Jean's list of eight of the things she can't live without. 1. My iphone - being a technophobe, I never imagined I could fall in love with a cell phone, but I have. It is quite magical. 2. My cheater glasses - I always took my excellent vision for granted, proud not to need reading glasses and go into a panic mode when i can't find my "cheaters". (The other Scouts can vouch for this.) 3. Brooks - I trained for and completed a marathon in these babies without a single blister. I will never wear another athletic shoe. 4. Red wine - for medicinal purposes only...keeps my cholesterol levels healthy! 5. Tervis Tumbler - okay, since Dana already mentioned coffee, I'll mention my favorite coffee receptacle. It keeps my joe nice and hot! 6. Friends and family - can't have a list like this without them (in no particular order)! 7. Alan - my hair stylist extraordinaire! Good hair = Good life (Scout Debbie agrees with this one! We love Alan & and our friends at Square One!) 8. ??? - always have a surprise on the ready; keeps 'em guessing and keeps me young! (er..youngish)

Robin's Eight Essentials

Next Scout up in our series of the Eight Things We Can't Live Without is Robin. Some of you may know, Robin was our New Mexico Scout, but a few life changes later, we are thrilled to have our girl here in Dayton, home with the other Scouts.

1. Vanilla Lattes with REAL Milk ... no soy or reduced fat for this girl. 2. LBD: Little Black Dress. Need I say more? 3. A Great Novel. 4. My Interior Design Magazines. Yes, they are righteous clutter and are never to be thrown out! 5. My Chi Straightening Iron. Good-bye wavy hair and hello to the chic and sleek 'do. 6. My Fabric Collections. Even if they stay neatly folded in the closet, they are still inspiration and works of art in themselves. 7. My Vintage Paintings. I scour flea markets and thrift markets for floral paintings, and ... surprise ... I collect bird prints as well. 8. My Daily Workouts. Long walks, Pilates, aerobics, you name it ... it's all about de-stressing and keeping that girlish figure!
