New Year’s Resolution #3

Travel.

Why not start in Houston? Reference the hot-off-the-press Wallpaper City Guide: Houston for top picks in design spots.

Test your trendiness to see how many places you haven’t been to yet; you may be surprised. Of course, you’re already familiar with page 74 – Wallpaper recommends PH Design Shop as a not to be missed atelier.

See you at baggage claim.
