What fun! The blog is so you and anyone who has the “sickness” will enjoy your professional insight. Yesterday, I gave in to one of your design suggestions and love it. I just hope I don’t trip over the bookcase on my way to coffee in the morning!

We just built a 3700 square foot house with wood floors except bathrooms. Will curtains and draperies be enough to get rid of the echo everytime we talk? We need suggestions on how to get rid of the echo if it is possible. The furniture is in but the echo stayed.
I enjoy your website and reading the blogs. It is so you!!!

Hi Dianne,
I am a design student attending Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida. A Chandelier that you have featured in your blog would fit perfectly into a boutique hotel design I am doing. I was wondering if I could get anymore information on it? Thanks for your time! Its the chandelier you blogged about in August ‘08 thats a modern take of the crystal chandelier…
