My name is Barbara Jordan Dettweiler and these are my musings about interior design inspired by living, working and traveling all over the world. It’s also a bit about my other passions for art, family, entertaining and philanthropy since they so often influence my design preferences. I hope that I can spark some new ideas for you and that you will stay a while!
