Many times for our Thursday Style Source Fave segment, we've referenced photos published in Architectural Digest magazine.  And for our Wednesday Home Decor Thoughts, we've also gone to AD for gorgeous pictures.

But we've never chosen Architectural Digest itself, as a style source fave.  Well, that all changes today. After all, for anyone interested in architecture, interior design, and landscape design, AD is The magazine.

And we have a very special video for you today, put out by AD.  In this video, interior designer Roderick Shade gives six points on design and working with a designer.  A quick preview:

• How to start a room
• You can find it anywhere
• His secret weapon
• That magic moment
• Why you should use a designer
• Don't be afraid to call a designer

Mr. Shade is a charmer - and the photos of his rooms?  Well, let's just say we wish he'd come to our place and punch it up a bit!  His rooms are gorgeous and sophisticated.

For your pleasure:
