Holy, Holy, Wholly fulfilling. I'll never leave you unopened, I'll never delete you, no matter what you find, say or show. I'm above board--and never down a hole.
Craig Leavitt, Founder
Your blog Porcelains and Peacocks is perfect and wonderful. Sophisticated, informative, insightful, classy, excellent illustrations, knowledgeable, intelligent, first quality and finally, not egocentric.
Kelly Hartgraves, Gallery Director
"Belle Époque", so aptly named, is what you evoke Kendra, time and time again.
Kimball Diamond, Founder
Dear Kendra, brilliant is all I can say. I did look at the writer website a few days ago and have been trying to find the words and the time to tell you how Impressed I am at your abilities and your insights. These words "cartoonish mediocrity" say it perfectly, where we have landed. I look forward to all you have to say to remind us of this gigantic misstep in attitude to all that is precious in the craft and art of interior design. Brava!

Bio
My writing career began with the Great Recession. Before the downturn, I worked in sales and marketing for elite antique dealers. I now utilize my knowledge to write for and about the interior design industry. In addition to being Editor at Large of California Homes Magazine, I contribute to other trade publications and create content and marketing material for busy design professionals. This website highlights some of my published work, for a more complete portfolio please view my blog Porcelains and Peacocks.
Dream tonight of peacock tails,
Diamond fields and spouter whales.
