There are two things that make a room timeless: a sense of history and a piece of the future.
What we remember most about rooms we like is the 'atmosphere.'
Decorating is a footnote to real life for me, a means to an end: Living well.
Casual elegance is all about the mix.
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.
Have you ever noticed how some rooms exude a certain energy, warmth, and a harmony of spirit? If you have, then you have experienced the language of the home. A language softly spoken, and univerally understood.
