May Member Spotlight: Wendy Glaister
When did you realize that you wanted to become an interior designer?
My grandmother encouraged me to be a designer. My son was in first grade, and she could see I was having a hard time figuring out what to do with my life. She asked me to call a lady that had been asking me for help with her home. She said she'd love to hear how it went the next day when I came to see her. Smart cookie ... she put a time frame on her expectation. So, I called the lady because I didn't want to disappoint my grandma, and I have been working ever since.

"The Eye Has to Travel"
This quote by Diana Vreeland has always been the inspiration for Decor Tours. Our first Decor Tour was launched nearly a decade ago, bringing a group of U.S. designers to Maison&Objet. In the meantime, we've branched out into other cities and other design adventures, always focused on introducing our guests to the wonderful resources, behind-the-scenes insight, and in-depth knowledge that make these journeys not only engaging and exciting, but also a worthwhile investment in a design business.

No natural light? No problem
The New York Times
People are finding all sorts of ways to pass the time in isolation: working on 3,000-piece jigsaw puzzles, stress-baking bread, watching celebrities practice social distancing in their sunlit, open-plan homes filled with thriving houseplants and surrounded by immaculate landscaping. If you'd resisted plant mania before, you may now see that empty corner of your apartment as the perfect spot for a fiddle leaf fig.
