For our final blog this month, things will be a little different. Last week we came across a fantastic in-depth article by Sara Clark in Veranda. Most of the design styles that we know and love and are so popular today actually stemmed from the ideas and inspiration of talented designers from many years ago. Clark provides a detailed look at the top designers from history and examines their most famous work and their enduring legacies.

We drew inspiration from Sara Clark’s article on Veranda. Find her article here.
