Debbie Wiener’s Slob-Proof Videos
I’ve been preparing to sit on a panel discussion about social media on Wednesday at The Washington Design Center, and as I contemplate what to say as advice to a room full of interior designers, I came across Debbie Wiener‘s hilarious YouTube page. Wiener, whom I”ve known for several years, is known for her kid- and pet-friendly design, and she has a new line of Slob Proof furniture with Crypton performance fabrics.
LEST anyone take design too seriously, take a look at this video:
Debbie’s son also “dramatizes” the spilling of Diet Coke. Mmm, what a combo.
Too funny! Now, after all that Diet Coke and pasta, Debbie offers up this third video on how to clean it all up from her Slob Proof furniture:
Debbie is probably the most media-savvy designer I know, and if you go to your YouTube page, you’ll see a whole collection of funny videos from her, talking about her design tricks, which are always, of course, slob proof. I think SHE should be the one sitting on this social media panel, actually. How many designers do you know with their own YouTube page?

Brilliant! I’ve never heard of her furniture line. And the title cuts to the chase and speaks for itself.
Good luck with your panel on Wednesday!
If I only knew when I was doing our basement media(aka the teen cave)room!!! Love this concept. Good luck and have fun tomorrow.
All of us with boys need them!! What a great idea.
