Living Space
Each week, Living Space tackles interior design challenges every homeowner can relate to. Creator Kathryn Weber believes that our homes are the foundation of our lives — and that they should make life better, more comfortable and attractive, helping the homeowner be more productive and happier.
In her witty, no-nonsense style, Weber gives practical advice not just on decorating but also on organization, de-cluttering, DIY projects and options for green living, always relating her advice to fundamental principles of design. A color photo moves with each column.
