About
We oppose interior design legislation of all sorts, and believe in protecting all interior designers’ and decorators’ rights to practice freely everywhere. We believe in free enterprise, and free market forces regulating what we do, not governmental or professional association interference in everyone’s right to earn a living, practice our trades, freely name what we do, etc.
Please see “About This Blog” for more information and posting guidelines.
