The more mirror-minded you become, the more your home will reflect shining charm!

A vase of flowers or greens will bring even a dull hotel room to life in the most delightful way. The small amount of trouble or expense involved is honestly repaid in real decorative effect. If you find cut flowers too extravagant, stick to the greens. Laurel, rhododendron leaves, huckleberry or pine will all last many days, even weeks.

You may concentrate on appearances all through the rest of your house, but in the bedroom comfort should be supreme. I think that bedrooms should also be very intimate rooms-they should express your personal preferences in every way...Of all the rooms in the house your bedroom is yours.

I started this career because I loved doing houses. I'd done three of my own and I couldn't keep on moving my family all the time, so I decided to decorate other people's homes and buildings.

It is just as disastrous to have the wrong accessories in your room, as it is to wear sport shoes with an evening dress.

You don't sell a commodity, you sell joy, gaiety, excitement. You aim at people's hearts, not their minds.

You just can't beat slip covers for giving that friendly air hospitals need so desperately.
