Hello, I'm Ty Wenzel, author (Behind Bars: The Straight-Up Tales of a Big City Bartender, St. Martin's Press), Web Developer/Hosting Provider, Home Decor fanatic and architecture buff. In my past life (the late 80s and 90s) I was a freelance fashion forecaster, fashion coordinator for Bloomingdale's and a fashion editor for Cosmopolitan magazine in New York. I studied Fashion Design in New York.

I started Design Shrine (the blog) as a place to save my favorite blog posts that I find interesting, web development ideas and shopping arenas where modern, retro and all beautiful things come together. As time went by, people started asking me for advice on home decor, how to's and so forth - thus this blog sort of took off.

This blog is made up of my own posts (Featured stories, Best Of, Style for Under $100, etc.), but a lot of our posts are also from some of the best resources on the internet. So instead of looking through thousands of blogs about style, trends, etc., you can just come here and see what I've found to make life easier for you. I update daily, travel extensively in search of style and research like a mad-woman.

If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear it!
