		<description><![CDATA[Turn on the news lately and chances are you'll see someone talking about the oil spill in the gulf and the effect it will have on our environment and the way we live. Most of you probably haven't thought about the impact it will have on design, but everything from concept and fabrication to shipping and installation probably factors in oil in some way, shape or form. This week I wanted to take a minute and tell you about other rapidly renewable resources that you can incorporate into your home decor from floors to walls, these are choices you can really feel good about.

		<description><![CDATA[As the seasons change and spring turns into summer, I find myself sometimes idly sitting on the deck contemplating life and design. Have you ever found yourself in a mental rut only to realize that it has been raining and cold outside for a week and the moment the sun comes out, you suddenly start to feel better?  The sunlight coming in a window or the brilliant blue hue of the sky peeking between the trees in the backyard are always an instant lift to my spirits. The play of light on the walls of my house and how it changes the mood of a room at different stages of the day, made me start thinking about some of the fundamental elements of design and how our spaces can have a profound impact on our sense of well being.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is it an oasis? No, it's actually your backyard! Spring has sprung and along with it the desire to get outside and enjoy our homes. There's nothing better than relaxing outdoors in a beautiful and inspired space. For Kansas City and the Midwest, outdoor living furniture has to be sturdy to withstand the fluctuations in weather, but just because it has to be sturdy doesn't mean you need to sacrifice design. Arlene shares some Design Connection inspiration on outdoor design this week.]]></description>

Such was the case with this project which was such a challenge because he loved contemporary, she loved traditional. We met with them and Design Connection transformed their home with new paint, furniture, accessories and a healthy dose of space planning to create a space with form and function! They love their "new" rooms and we hope you will too!]]></description>
