Design Line
Each week, Design Line uses a colorful photo (a stylish room, a piece of furniture) to launch a conversation with readers about general principles of design. St. Clair then moves to actual planning by answering a related question from her mailbag. Her answers empower would-be designers with solutions, options and the resources to formulate their own plans or explain their needs to a professional designer.
