Welcome to my Blog where I share interior design & decorating tips, articles and ideas as part of my commitment to "making the world happier - one home at a time".. By engaging with you in open dialogue about important issues I'm hoping that you'll be able to make better choices for yourself and your family which take you beyond staged photos and "eye candy", to be able to create spaces that truly comfort and support you everyday. I know that when you feel good in your home, everything feels better.
Since discussion requires more than a one-way conversation... I need your help to really make this blog a success. Please join me with your comments and questions. And certainly, if I don't have the answer I'll do my best to find the expert who does!.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you,
Irene
