This blog is for homeowners, diyers and designers alike. It's a place to discuss anything and everything design although my passion is Kitchen and Bath Design. I explain why I decided to start writing and what I hope to accomplish here. I don't know what will inspire my writing and I'm sure it will evolve over time.
