I’m the Senior Editor of VERANDA.com, and you’ll also find me on our sister sites ELLEDECOR.com and Housebeautiful.com. I own far too many throw pillows, and dream of leaving my Brooklyn rental behind for a home I can wallpaper lavishly. Have a suggestion for the site (or for my dream home’s wallpaper)?
