It's Bridget Otto Thursday!

Today, in The Oregonian, Bridget A Otto has two articles. The first offers information before you shop on carpet basics and terminology. Otto is a little sketchy on Berber, however. You might want to check my blog at Home Accents Today for What Are Berber Area Rugs?

The second article is titled A 1949 video on the ideal kitchen shows what's changed -- and how much still rings true. The "...1949 movie clip out of the federal Bureau of Human Nutrition and Home Economics advocates and demonstrates how the U-shaped kitchen can help ease the chores of the "housewife" in the "modern farm kitchen." Otto talked with four interior designers and got their reactions to the film.

• Lori Brock, interior designer, of Brock Designs
• Interior designer Julie De Jardin of De Jardin Design
• Designer Arlene Lord, one of the principals of Mosaik Design
• Designer Deb Seeley of Deb Seeley Designs

We always enjoy Otto's articles and it's great to see our friends mentioned as resources.
