DESIGNER SECRETS
Designer Ron Guest is busy! He was at Best Fabrics buying for a new Taverna restaurant for Alberto Lombardi; he’s on his way to Barcelona to research a new Spanish concept also for Lombardi; and he’s doing a home show for the Hispanic market on television. He also recently opened his own restaurant San Miguel on Henderson Avenue. Of course, knowing that Rebecca and I work for D Home, he didn’t want us revealing his source for cheap fabrics on Harry Hines! Oh well, we must serve our readers! Much more on this later….

It is a book of ads. But it is a book of ads you can really curl up with. Ask your B-F Realtor for a copy, or pay money for a quarterly “subscription.”
