USEFUL INTERIOR DESIGN LINKS
I've just added a new category to the right: Useful Interior Design Links. This makes it easier to just click on the topic you want information about, and be directly linked to that webpage. I had already posted info on lighting, but it's buried in past blog posts. So now you can access it whenever you need it without having to search for it!
Another useful link is to Residential Architect's recent article on Bamboo vs Hardwood - the pros and cons of each.
I've also added the link to Greenguard's Virtual Tour of Indoor Air Quality....A useful interactive guide to understanding indoor air pollution, and the simple ways you can combat it in your home. This is an on-line house tour which allows you to walk through a residence, scroll over various products to learn more about their chemical emissions, and discover some practical solutions.
