About:

After more than a decade in sales, Tate Gunnerson founded Strange Closets after realizing blogging provided an ideal vehicle to combine his interest in writing, photography and design. What began as a hobby morphed into a genuine passion, which prompted Gunnerson to leave sales to focus on building Strange Closets into a next-generation online home design publication. In addition to publishing Strange Closets, Gunnerson contributes to Chicago Home + Garden, CS Interiors and HealthDay.
