Deep downy upholstery is absolutely what I've always been about.

The essence of interior design will always be about people and how they live.

Decoration is really about creating a quality of life, and a beauty in that life that nourishes the soul, that makes life beautiful.

Forget the floor plans. Arrange the furniture where it is the most comfortable and will look best.

After the design is firmly fixed, the decoration is added. Decorating is the final enhancement.

Decorating is not about making stage sets, it's not about making pretty pictures for the magazines, it's really about creating a quality of life, a beauty that nourishes the soul.

The essence of interior design will always be about people and how they live. It is about the realities of what makes for an attractive, civilized, meaningful environment, not about fashion or what's in or what's out. This is not an easy job.
