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

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

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

I don't believe anything can do as much for a room as a glowing fire in an attractive fireplace. Men and dogs love an open fire - they show good sense. It is the heart of any room and should be kindled on the slightest provocation.

Never look back, except for an occasional glance, look ahead and plan for the future. Success is not built on past laurels, but rather on a continuous activity. Keep busy searching out new ideas and, experimentally, keep ahead of the times, or at least up with them.

The finest thing about a hobby is that you can't do any pretending about it. You either like it or you don't.

You don't have to know anything about a subject as long as you use common sense and imagination, plus enthusiasm! I use all periods of design in my work, for, after all, decorative styles are simply indications of a manner of living.
