Life is all about manners. Nothing else matters.

Nothing comes cheap, though the educated eye will always spot very nice things for the least money.

To create an interior, the designer must develop an overall concept and stick to it.

We're all collectors by nature. But if you're talking about an orderly life, there has to be a stop sign somewhere. Building a collection requires a strong constitution and the ability to resist.

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

Design is about discipline and reality, not about fantasy beyond reality.

Decorators should always remember that letting a client see too many beautiful things is a pitfall.
