Earlier this week my husband brought me home a fresh bouquet of flowers. They were amazingly beautiful with bright colors and brought life to the whole living room. It’s a wonderful reminder of how something so natural and easy can make such a large impact. Flowers come in hundreds of colors, shapes and sizes and not [...] Due to popular demand, I will be blogging twice a week instead of three times. Feedback from subscribers and fans has shown that sometimes less is more. Instead of posting three times a week, your in-boxes, Twitter feeds and Facebook feeds will be slightly less clogged with blog posts. I welcome your feedback and hope that [...] As a visual world, we are first drawn to color and then to form. Many times when presenting a product or layout to a customer, they get very concerned about the color of the photograph or sample I am showing them.

Corporations are realizing that many people don’t necessarily need a fitting room, however they still have a desire to try things before they purchase them. Informal fitting areas have been popping up in the middle of stores, in addition to the more traditional fitting [...] On a recent trip to the nail salon I picked up a magazine to flip though. It seemed weathered, but I thought nothing of it and continued to read, when I noticed that things didn’t quite make sense. Flipping the magazine around, I discovered that it was from almost three years ago. It seemed as though [...] In honor of Independence Day we will be focusing on how grateful we are for those who fought and continue to fight for our country. Heather Mastrangeli | Interior Design blog posts will resume on Wednesday. Have a wonderful 4th of July! The media is an interesting animal. It influences the way we look at things and shapes our society. Interior design is no exception. In the past several years interior designers have been featured as characters on television shows and later in reality television. While there are a few shows that I absolutely love, they do [...] |
