Kitty Bartholomew: You're Home : Episode KIT-1210 -- More Projects »
Furniture and interior designer Mike Ragan says he starts his design process with a design board. He suggests starting your own by looking through travel magazines and tearing out the pages that feature your favorite destinations. Build upon the pages with coordinating fabrics, trims, tassels, textured materials, buttons, fringe, etc.
