Color of the Year: Honeysuckle Pink

For those who are new design enthusiasts (like me) and excited to learn more about the history of interior design, studying the work of Dorothy Draper is a good start. Dorothy Draper was considered a pioneer in the industry during the early- and mid-20th century. Draper decorated several high-profile interiors, including San Bernadino's Arrowhead Springs Hotel and Washington, D.C.'s Mayflower Hotel. And New York's Essex Hotel:
