Colorful Treasures Are a Gift of Travel

My good friend and colleague, Carl D'Aquino, is partner at the fabulous firm D'Aquino Monaco and inductee into the Interior Design Hall of Fame.  He visited India recently and shared his experience with Interior Design Magazine in this article.  It's full of some great photos and a peek into a keenly observent visitor's perspective. 

This especially resonates with me because I'm part of a panel discussion at the Hospitality Design Boutique Show in Miami in a couple of weeks.  We're discussing the power of color in hotels.  I think there's a major connection to color and travel.  I've come home several times from trips that inspired me to change colors in my home or even to edit my take on design completely. 

Where have you been that has influenced your viewpoint on color & design?
