You might not recognize Bob right away but you’ll know his name — it’s practically household. As one half of the dynamic duo of Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams, Bob Williams is well known in the design community as “a big deal.” His designs have graced the pages of Elle Decor and Better Home & Gardens, and is even an accomplished author

See if you can find my Lulu on Lulu’s Friends. Though Lulu and her memory could never be replaced, Bob has added two new bulldogs to the MGBW family — this time Frenchies. Here’s the Scoop on these two cuties.
Above, Bob hangs out in the James Chair with Violet (left) and Lily (right).
