....the designer must be able to see - make a concentrated effort to absorb the essence of the project. Seeing is a very difficult thing to do. Most people "look" at a lot of thing but never "see" anything. Looking is emotional; seeing is an intellectual process.

I deeply believe that a beautiful decor can have a beneficial influence on our lives.

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

The one thing I never get involved with is selecting art or pictures for a client. This is a very personal thing. If the clients have pictures, I will hang them. When they do not own pictures I leave the walls blank.

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.

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

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