The interior design answer lady who writes a Q & A column with "attitude."

  • The Decor Diva® is not a decorating column, per se. It's an entertaining, humorous column about decorating.
  • Yes! Creating beautiful interiors is The Decor Diva's passion. Yet she is first to admit that it's much more important to "have a life" than it is to have a "lifestyle."
  • Her answers are laced with amusing double entendres, colorful metaphors, and often off-the-wall responses to mundane questions about decor.
  • Answers are often sarcastic, always personalized
  • When The Decor Diva® doesn't have a good answer, she gives attitude!
  • The column provides down-to-earth yet savvy advice that is certain to make readers chuckle, encourage them to look at their own living spaces in a different light, and at the same time increase their general knowledge and appreciation of interior design.
  • The Decor Diva's columns include bits of homespun wit and wisdom that readers look forward to every week, regardless of whether or not they use the advice given.
