Welcome to Internet Home Alliance. My name is Charlotte, Before I retired in 2007, I was an interior design consultant. I missed helping people on their home projects, so my children encouraged me to start this blog, to help even more people.

Other people with expertise in a field of home management will sometimes contribute their skills and time to give you the benefit of their knowledge.
