Ally is... From the Right Bank :) and as she says, she likes rearranging furniture. She is a globe trotter, lived in Paris, Seattle and now Atlanta. We have all admired her Seattle home at Design Sponge (among others) so we know she has it... and when she blogs, she talks business, and when I mean business, I mean great design business and great style. Ally has style and you will see it on her My Stuff. Plus she is a sweetheart, really! (and she loves traveling!)
