Hi- It's Tamara. I'm happy you've stopped by, and since 2010 I've been sharing my passion for interior design, history, art, entertaining, travel & fashion. I am an interior designer, textile designer and writer living and working in New York City and East Hampton, Long Island. My musings have taken me to international design, art, antique and epicurean events and I have lots to share. I'm grateful to have been listed as the #1 top design blog, blogs to watch, top design blogs and named and awarded Rising Star of Design by the IFDA NY industry organization. Please feel free to reach out to our team for an interior design consultation at NestbyTamara.com -Tamara

What We Love Today column,
7 Fantastic Lights From Stray Dog Designs
Each week, we choose to highlight and profile one brand we spot in our design travels, and these are ones that catch our eye for their unique beauty and quality.  We can never have enough light fixture sources for our design projects.  These are sources we pull out to take a design project from ho-hum to snazzy. I'm super partial to painted metal or tole, and hence, I'm smitten with Stray Dog Designs who make unique handmade lighting in the village of San Miguel de Allende, in the mountains of Mexico.
