Gorgeous interior design by Martyn Lawrence Bullard

Interior Design Inspiration & Humor (Design by Martyn Lawrence Bullard)

Wouldn't it be great to see a little more
intelligent interior design humor (or any at all)
on the web?

I'm not sure we have truly seen much lightheartedness
(beyond the Property Brothers' and Chip Gaines' slapstick variety)
since maybe Trading Spaces and Million Dollar Decorators
a few years back.

I loved Bravo's Million Dollar Decorators
with its celebrity designers designing for high rollers
(without competing with each other!),
all the while refusing to take themselves too seriously.

Kathryn might be my favorite!

If you watched the show, I'd
love to hear which decorator/cast member
was your favorite!

I'm offering up my own brand of
design humor...with a bunch of
red flags which signal whether you
may be obsessed with interior design.

If you like this list of clues you may be obsessed
with interior design, I'll share more
because it is TOO EASY to poke
fun when you're a designfreak!

But Mary McDonald is pretty awesome too!

I have weaved some pretty rooms designed by
the elite Million Dollar Decorators into the mix.

with patina you didn't love.
