on residential designs. Within the blog post, there are 7 different subsections used to organize the piece and break it down into clearer sections of similar information. Along with a well thought out organization plan, this blog post is written in the first person and does not include specialized terminology in order to make the blog post appealing to a wider audience, since the information shared is common knowledge for most interior designers. 

        Chew explains how interior design and simple renovation of someone’s home can cause what feels like life-altering effects. The blog says that at the Laurel & Wolf conference, he learned that Laurel believed “Good design meant that subconsciously you felt better, less stressed, more relaxed, simply because the environment had an ambiance that affected you in ways you didn’t realize” (Chew). This ideology is what Laurel & Wolf company was built upon, as well as the reason Chew decided to share his experience at the conference. Chew’s purpose within the blog post was to share his realization for how interior design truly effects those it surrounds, as well as the information given at the conference.

        Chew then begins to use his sole source of evidence, the Laurel & Wolf conference, to give simple rules to follow when redesigning a space. An example of this is when the author explains how to make a bookshelf more appealing; he says “Use the Rule of 3 - Try to only use roughly 3 “elements” in your design. So, pick a color scheme, maybe an object that draws your eye, and lay the books flat instead of standing up, etc. That kind of stuff, but only limit yourself to 3 general ideas” (Chew). This is one of many examples of Chew using information from the Laurel & Wolf conference as evidence for how to properly design and remodel a home. Because blog's information came from a conference instead of a written or recorded source, there was no textual citations or work cited given, besides the reference of the Laurel & Wolf conference within the writing itself. This means the style of writing is not known but if a source page was given, it would have most likely been in MLA or APA style because that is the citation style used most commonly in the interior design discourse community. Overall, this blog post meets the expectations for the interior design discourse community and properly communicates knowledge to other interior designers, as well as the general population.
