Thanks for all the enthusiastic response to my post last week, "Calling Design Bloggers Whose Day Job is Different!" It was so interesting to not only to read about everyone's backgrounds, (there were attorneys, scientists, stay-at-home moms, consultants, engineers, etc.) but also your passion and interest in interior design. Some bloggers are already starting or planning for careers in the field while others have a sense it will remain a much beloved hobby. I think these bloggers comments sum it up:
"Blogging has been a wonderful experience. To meet so many people that share your passion is such an amazing gift." Charlie of Charlie's Design Diary
"I have really enjoyed how blogging has allowed me to be more connected with like minded people both on the blogosphere and in person..." Beth of Chinoiserie Chic
"I had no idea that there were so many people out there who were as interested in all of the minutia that make a home a beautiful place, from the architecture to the design to the subtle things that make a house a home." Things That Inspire
