Randomness.

When he was a baby, Robin Praino could spot and name cars in the dark just by their headlights.

After finally getting his own room at the age of 8, Robin began designing and rearranging it. Weekly. Then he moved to the family room, and eventually the entire house was exposed to this obsessive, constant change.

Encouraged by terrific parents, and gifted with an amateur architects board with stick-on furniture from Santa, Robin began designing homes and photographing them with his 35mm camera before tearing them apart and beginning again. This continued for years.

An entrepreneur since youth, Robin successfully bossed neighborhood kids into selling soft drinks and eventually alcohol procured from parents and neighbors liquor cabinets to golfers on the neighborhood course.

Later, Robin would successfully convince his siblings it made complete sense to wash his car for rides around town.

Years later, Robin would join the advertising world, working in radio for a number of years before successfully leading a team of sales reps for LivingSocial, the internet juggernaut. A return to radio has allowed Robin to reconnect with clients, family, and friends, as well as enjoy the finer things in life, like free time and pinning things on Pinterest for hours.

An overwhelming interest in interior design has remained, ever since the bedroom design days. A new project, a 1940s dutch colonial in one of Chattanooga's bedroom communities, is the latest remodel project.

Robin Praino Interiors has resulted from the cottage remodel.
