In a minimal interior, what you don't do is as important as what you do.

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

It's my job to know what's available from every retailer, catalog, website, antiques mall, and craftsperson. A good designer or decorator has to have an almost encyclopedic knowledge.

I love linen in soothing colors for any room in the house.

Your home should tell the story of who you are.

I think I was the only kid on the block who knew about furniture scale by the time I was 8.

The truth is that things matter. They have to, they are what we live with and touch each and every day. They represent what we've seen, who we've loved and where we hope to go next. They remind us of the good times and the rough patches and everything in between that's made us who we are.
