Inspiring Interiors

There are so many inspiring things happening today in the design world. The look is fresh, uncluttered and sophisicated.

Wallpaper is in again but with an interest in texture and pattern.

This blog is a way for me to explore my favorite things in the design world while sharing them with you at the same time.

I look forward to a wonderful journey...
