Style Resolutions: Barb from Knack Studios

I'm very excited to feature another Style Resolutions interview. Today's interviewee is Barb from Knack Studios. Barb is such a friendly soul, and her blog has lots of pretty finds as well as showcasing her own projects. I am a bit distracted by the first light pictured below - which she made from recycled garden fencing. It's totally my style. I wish I lived somewhere which had a porch like this, too.

Thanks Barb!

Q: What is your favourite recent design find/achievement?

A: My favourite design find right now would have to be all of the industrial wire lighting that I'm seeing. I love the modern yet laid back feel and the instant character they add to a room.

Q: Do you have any design/style ambitions you want to achieve by the end of the year?

A: As far as design ambitions this year, I would love to design one piece of custom furniture! It is my dream to design completely one of a kind pieces to add to my collection over the next bit of time.. still working on the details and the composition......we'll see! On a smaller scale, I'm thinking about designing a line of soft goods; pillows and dishtowels - a collaboration with my husband.


Q: Which are your favourite style blogs?

A: I could get in trouble here! I have lots of favourites! Sticking to just style/design blogs, just a few are: Design Sponge, Poppytalk, Apartment Therapy, Decor8, and Desire to Inspire.
