Welcome to the inaugural entry for the 'The Bold and the Beautiful', a lifestyle blog by me for you, featuring my favorite things from the world of design, art, fashion, food and travel - but mostly interior design, of course.
This first post is old news but I would be remiss if I did not give kudos to the Top 20 African American Interior Designers. This list was compiled by Kimberly Ward of the design blog, Pink Eggshell. She hosted a fabulous event last month at the 40/40 Club in NYC to announce this prestigious group of "artists." So here they are (in alphabetical order)...

Helen Bailey of Urban Living in Chicago
Michel Boyd of Smith Boyd Interiors in Atlanta
Keitha Brathwaite of Contrast Design Group in Chicago
