Guest Post: Design Elements

My friend, Maria, from Design Elements is visiting today.  I’m sure many of you are aware of Design Elements and the incredible architect and designer interviews that Maria manages to arrange.  If not, please stop by and indulge…you will leave inspired, informed, and happy…yes, happy…Design Elements…always en vogue.

Oh my! It is wonderful to be part of cabbagerose today. I feel quite lucky to have “met” Katherine as I admire her unique way of looking at design and life. Since cabbagerose is one of my favorite virtual places to hang out, I have decided to take you on a little getaway to another favorite place: the sail-shaped W Hotel in Barcelona designed by the Spanish architect Ricardo Bofill. Enjoy!

Thanks, Kat…
