In Defense of Interior Decoration?
https://www.stevenstolmaninc.com/single-post/2017/07/16/In-Defense-of-Decorators On the surface the above blog post ruffled my PROFESSIONALINTERIORDESIGNER feathers….Mr. Stolman clearly blurs the line between interior decoration and Interior Design which is a particular sore point with moi……..but. While I appreciate Mr. Stolman’s impassioned plea for relevance I wonder if interior decoration just might wither away. Maybe interior decoration will become…

Interior Design Dabble Psycho Babble
Grrrr. We have to figure out a way to separate the professionals from those who merely dabble. I have students paying dearly for the right to practice as “interior designers”.

Does Lenny Kravitz Care About His Body
http://www.torontolife.com/daily/hype/creative-types/2011/11/29/lenny-kravitz-bisha-hotel-toronto/ Not only no but hell no. Lenny Kravitz could give a rats ass about the “profession” of interior design as we define it. He is an interior designer because he can be- period.
