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
"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.

The New York Times

For some, that has traditionally been the spa. However, with many spas temporarily closed and social distancing measures in place, that option isn't as easy, or appealing, as it once was.
