Will Taylor is the dashing gent behind the blog Bright Bazaar, based in the UK. I discovered his talents recently via our virtual friend Kayla, and his blog gives me mucho color inspiration! In addition to his cheerful blogging, he is a columnist for Rue Magazine and Sweet Paul, a stylist, and seems to be involved in all things fabulous. He just returned from a jaunt to Paris (where he took amazing photos), and I can’t wait to see what Mr. Bazaar is involved in next!
Your chief characteristic.
Vivacious.
Your favourite colour and flower.
Yellow is my favorite color and as for blooms, I love Craspedias (or Billy Balls as my friend Justina from Compai tells me they are called in the States!)
Your idea of happiness.
Good health, and a lifetime spent with my dearest chap (with plenty of colorful surroundings, tasty olives and creative crafting)!
Your favourite food & drink.
Pasta, pasta, pasta. Any form, anytime, anyplace! As for drink, I do love fresh black coffee in the mornings and you can’t beat a cold glass of vino on a hot day!
Your biggest flaw.
Being super duper moody when I am hungry!
For what fault do you have the most toleration?
People who are moody when hungry. I mean, I’d be a bit naughty if I didn’t!
Your favourite qualities in friends.
Loyalty, honesty and the ability to make me howl with laughter. Basically, if I’m out of line, I’d like a friend to feel comfortable enough to tell me, and you can’t beat those moments when you are crying with laughter.
Where would you like to live?
Whilst I love living in the UK, with it’s inspiring history and divine countryside, I’d be lying if I didn’t say how much I dream of spending some time living in New York City.
Your favourite occupation.
Right now I am over the moon to be writing and styling for interiors titles-the opportunity to be creative in a field I love is something I remind myself to be thankful for even when I’m really snowed under with work.
Your favourite hero (or heroine) in real-life.
My delightful partner-he is such a joy.

I can’t even remember at this point how I first came across Will’s blog but I’ve loved it since the first time I jumped on. He’s got a great eye for color and design, he’s always upbeat and he’s super sweet. Excellent combo.
Aw hooray! I love how I played a role in “introducing” the two of you. Will’s answers here make me love him even more…and I didn’t think that was possible. What a gem he is. I feel lucky to call him (and you!) a friend.
Aww, this is such a great q&a!! I adore Will’s blog, every time his Sunday bright links and 10 things I learned this weekend posts pop up in my reader I can’t click on them fast enough! He sounds like such a sweetheart both on his blog and in the q&a!!
I heart Will. And he reminds me a bit of Trace from Flipping Out.
Thank you all, I heart Will too! :)
Hello there! This is such a great Q&A.. I just recently came across Will’s blog and am so in love it! He’s so sweet and talented and I just can’t get enough of him. Thanks so much for sharing!
Glad I landed on your blog too… your photography is beautiful, btw. :)
xo, Jeanne
Hi Jeanne…welcome! I’m so happy you discovered Will’s blog, it’s one of my favs! Thank you for your kind words, hope to “see” you again soon! :)
Great Q and A. Will is a constant inspiration with oodles of talent and a great design eye!
Glad to have found your blog through him!
Great feature and thanks for introducing me to Will’s blog.
I adore this series! His blog is fabulous :)
Hi Amber, so glad you found me! ;)
Thank you, Susan, for having me as part of this series and to your lovely comments for their touching comments.
Thanks for sharing and what a wonderful interview! I have to agree Beige is Boring and I cringe when I hear people hesitating to use splashes of brilliant color in their decor. Color is not something to fear.
