Birds are so much wiser than we! A robin builds a nest for robins. A seagull builds a nest for seagulls. They don't copy each other - or build themselves nests as described in The Birds' Decorating Magazine.

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

You can never judge a paint hue by the liquid color in the paint pot. You must apply it to a wall, wait for the paint to dry, then decide.

To create an atmosphere dedicated to health..to present charming interiors that will attract maternity patients...to develop distinctive decoration and furnishings that can be installed at modest expenditure - and will require a minimum of maintenance costs.

Don't buy a bedroom suite, but collect your pieces separately - generally cheaper and always the decorator's way of furnishing.

I always put in one controversial item. It makes people talk.

I believe in doing the thing you feel is right. If it looks right, it is right.
