Fashion, Decorating & Entertaining…Lifestyle Simplified
Hello! My name is Tracy Svendsen, and I am an interior designer and the editor of the Buyer Select Blog. I hope to showcase trends and products that make it easy for you to find your own decorating style — to decide on the personal looks that will tell your story to the world, what you choose for your home and the way in which you showcase your personality.
I hope you’ll use this site as a resource to find the newest fashionable colors, designs, and products for the home. Many of my posts will be covering various interior design styles, from modern, to coastal, bohemian and farmhouse. I’ll also be adding feature design articles, such as how to decorate living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms and dining rooms. Feel free to drop a line on the bottom of any of my posts if you have any questions at all!
