Decorating is a footnote to real life for me, a means to an end: Living well.

... our objects, bibelots, whatnots, and knickknacks-say the most about who we are. They are as honest as a diary.

An empty room is a story waiting to happen, and you are the author.

What we remember most about rooms we like is the 'atmosphere.'

People's live are expressed in little details....The soap in the bathroom, the flowers in the garden, the books on the bedside table are all strong symbols of a life in progress. You look at these details and a world unfolds - here are their books, the paintings they cherish, the music that soothes their souls.

Decorating is like music. Harmony is what we constantly strive for. At home, we want a peaceful atmosphere where the objects are the notes and nothing is off-key.
