About 90 percent of the pieces in my home are vintage, and I'm a ruthless editor. I only live with things that I love. There is not one thing in my home that doesn't have meaning to me.

I made my parents crazy. As a kid, I redecorated my bedroom every month. I would literally save my allowance and go buy things.

I was barely in grade school when I helped my mother rearrange the living room furniture for the first time.

Your home should tell the story of who you are, and be a collection of what you love brought together under one roof.

I don't believe in having spaces in the home that don't get used. We pay so much for square footage that to waste it is criminal.

Design, to me, is part psychology, part sociology, and part magic. A good decorator should know what's going on in someone's marriage and how their kids are doing in school.

I always want objects in my home that have a connection to me or something I've loved. It's still stuff, but it's stuff that has meaning.
