I was invited to contribute to an article on Redfin, “Look to the Stars: Decor Ideas Based on Your Zodiac Sign.” The article is out-of-this world and I’m honored to be featured there with some downright awesome astrologers! Look for my contribution in the Leo section.
And I was so excited by the concept, that I worked up my own take on each of the signs design / home decor styles. I’d love to hear if your sign’s description resonates with your style!
