About the Authors
Katharine Kaye McMillan, PhD,
is a social cognitive psychologist who writes do-it-
yourself decorating advice in her online
Design Doctor
column. She is the coauthor
with her mother and mentor, Patricia Hart McMillan, of
Home Decorating For
Dummies,
2nd Edition,
Glass Tile: Inspirations for Kitchens and Baths, Sun Country
Style,
and
House Comfortable. Where the Pros Live,
her weekly feature series on how
trendsetters and tastemakers really design for themselves, runs weekly in the
Palm
Beach Post
’s “Florida Home” section. She is a contributing writer to
Florida Design,
the leading internationally distributed decorating magazine. An expert in masculin-
ity and self-concept, she teaches psychology at private and public colleges in South
Florida. She appears on national and regional television shows, talk radio, and trades
her do-it-yourself design secrets at home shows nationwide with Patricia Hart
McMillan.
Patricia Hart McMillan
was Interior Design Editor of
1,001 Decorating Ideas
(later
Home
), one of the first dedicated do-it-yourself magazines with a multimillion reader
circulation in the U.S., Canada, and Japan. She became Remodeling Editor of
Home
Mechanix Magazine,
whose do-it-yourself readers included semi-professional and
professional carpenters, painters, paper-hangers, floor-installers, and plumbers. On
at least one occasion, she hung wallcovering for publication! As Editor in Chief of
20/20 Magazine,
she helped launch a retail shop design series entitled
Blueprint for
Success,
which continues. Private decorating clients include some “household
names” as well as newlyweds with big dreams and small budgets. She’s author and
coauthor of eight books and at work on four more dealing with interior design, con-
temporary architecture, architectural glass tile, and historic houses and gardens.
Her trendspotting articles and profiles of nationally known designers appear in
newspapers, magazines, and online.
