dwellings and décor

I am so excited to be a part of the WOW blogger team. I would like to introduce myself my name is Rachel Mallon and I am an Interior Designer in Maui, Hawaii. I went to college in Portland, OR and I received my Bachelors degree in Interior Design and I currently work for a small interior design firm Design Savvy Maui. We mainly work on vacation rentals and residential design but have had some commercial clients. I also run my own E-decorating site. I get a lot of people asking me for advice on their residential dwellings and I can quickly and efficiently answer the small questions like what paint color should I choose with this orange sofa or how high should I hang my chandelier above my dining table. I started getting people who wanted me to tell them how to design their entire room and that involved more time and research. So I started Room in a Book. It’s affordable and I create a book that has a furniture board, a floor plan, 2-3 renderings of the space and also a shopping list. Check it out at www.roominabook.com.

Well enough about me and more about this wonderful new blog. It is called dwellings and décor and basically I will be posting the latest in interior design and interior products. Below is the schedule that I am going to be sticking to.

Monday – Product Trend

- This will be a gathering of four photos of products that relate to each other.

Tuesday – Room by Color

- I will present to you interior spaces like blue living rooms and pink bedrooms and go in depth about the mood it evokes.

Wednesday – Decorating Advice

- This is where I will post answers to your decorating dilemmas. We all have them.

Thursday – Inspiration Board

- Also known as a mood board. I find an image that inspires me to create a room and then I design it.

Friday – Interior Spaces/ Styles

- I will showcase a home or a commercial dwelling in its entirety, or I will post interior images of a particular style.

Well I hope you are excited as I am to see how this blog rolls and please subscribe or check back here for more interior design inspiration and ideas.

Aloha!
