Learn about Homepolishs unique structure that allows for designers to consult on a per session basis. What trends are emerging in the design world? Noa talks about the new wave of renters concerned with interior design, and why its a good idea to work with professionals before owning your first home. Where does Noa go to unwind in NYC? Find out on this weeks edition of After the Jump! Thanks to our sponsor, Brooklyn Slate. We only bring on the top designers in their respective cities...
