This week, I’m digressing a bit into one of my other passions – interior design and the environment.
(For anyone who doesn’t know this about me, I’m not only a Health and Wellness coach – but also an Interior Designer, which explains my profound interest in how our environments impact us on a day to day basis!)
So, during this week’s trip to Asheville, NC , I was truly delighted to re-visit the Biltmore Estate, after roughly a 4 year absence.
Biltmore House, in case you didn’t know, is the famous mansion built in 1895 by George Vanderbilt – one of the wealthiest families in our nation at the turn of the 20th century.
(The American equivalent to Downton Abbey, if you will).
For George Vanderbilt, building his mansion was an opportunity to celebrate his passion for Art, Literature & Horticulture.
Even so, his guide to decorating the mansion was quite simple.
He did not have a decorator.
Nor did he have the equivalent of today’s interior designer.
So, what was his secret?
