The Eye Knows

YOU MIGHT THINK THAT AS EDITOR OF THIS MAGAZINE. I would be great at interior design. Well, turns out, I'm not. But I do know a good room when I see it, and along with our talented editors, I enjoy looking through hundreds of submissions each year to find the best projects to feature on our pages. I can't always describe what, helps a house or an apartment, make the cut, but. usually it. comes down to two things: Does the design have a point, of view Stylistically? And does the person who designed it.-- be they amateur or professional have an eye?
