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

An interior designer must be able to clarify his intent keeping ever in mind that decorating is not a look, it's a point of view.

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.

A decorator, no matter how talented, can't always get the desired results because sometimes there is resistance or maybe a lack of understanding on the part of the client. I think it is the decorator's job to work as a guide, to bring out the best qualities and the best attitudes.

So many people arrange furniture in order to see what's going on outside. But why? The view isn't going anywhere.

Life is all about manners. Nothing else matters.

Decorating is not a look, it's a point of view.
