“If you want a golden rule that will fit everything, this is it: Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.” - William Morris - designer, artist, writer
Welcome!
I am delighted to start the New Year by launching my blog, Design Sense and Sensibility. (The name being a nod to one of my favorite authors, Jane Austen)
For the past year I’ve been enjoying various design blogs, muddling with the idea of starting my own blog, and figuring out what I want to say on the topic of interior design. In the end it came down to this, I believe that interior design makes sense when you create spaces that are useful and beautiful. The process starts with Smart Design + Smart Choices. Ta da, the idea for Design Sense and Sensibility began to take shape.
I am sure, with time, as I write and post, this blog will go through transformations. But for now, this is the beginning, and I am ready to start! Blogs are created to share ideas, so please feel free to share your thoughts and ideas with me.
I hope you will come back and visit often.
Cheers! Meredith-

Like the name of the Blog and its look. Also, like your pic on the website……half cultured interior designer - half child of the hip generation.
It was not easy to come up with a name for the Blog … just like it was not easy coming up with Tuscan Blue Design. But I am thrilled with the name…it feels right!
