Welcome!

Hello and welcome to my new blog!

Yes, it's another design blog...but, I hope I can offer something different by focusing on just a single aspect of decorating: creating a room from favorite patterns. As a textile designer, I obviously love pattern, but I'm not a trained interior designer — these posts simply represent how I might like to mix different prints and furnishings to create the beginnings of an eclectic room. I hope you enjoy!

Before  posting the first room, take a look at just a few of my favorite spaces:
