We are many weeks into the COVID-19 Quarantine at the time we are recording this so we thought we should have a light-hearted show today. We hope you don’t mind if we use this opportunity to have a little more fun than usual this week! We thought we’d share some funny stories about us as individuals, our company and our projects.

Before we get started we wanted to let you know that this episode of Inside Design with Kandrac & Kole Interior Designs is sponsored by one of our go-to lighting manufacturers - Currey & Co. They have a bunch of new introductions in all collections – mirrors, furniture and lighting for Spring 2020 that are amazing.  One of our new favorites is the Samoa chandelier that is hand woven from Abaca rope.  Also check out the new Tulipano pendant that is a lantern in white gesso iron with a blooming flower in the middle. Ideal for a powder room.
