Behind Every Attractive Room There Should Be

Behind Every Attractive Room There Should Be A Very Good Reason.

You Can Never Achieve Anything In A House Unless You Have Things That Have Been Passed Down And You Find A Place For Them For Yourself.

It Is Only My Eye That Has Helped Me. I Am Still Hopeless With That Thing Called A Scale Ruler. I Love Color, But That Comes Very Naturally To Me. From The Beginning, I Never Followed Trends. If I Was Aware Of Them, I Didn't Care, For I Believed As I Do Now, That Rooms Should Be Timeless And Very Personal. I Don't Set Out To Achieve A Particular Style. And I Certainly Don't Have A 'look' - Just A Mishmash Of Everything That Somehow, By Instinct, Usually Turns Out To Be A Warm Imaginative, 'living Room'.

...when Someone Asks Me To Help Create A Room My First Reaction, If I Do Not Already Know The Person, Is To Try To Feel Out What He Or She Really Wants The Room To Be And To Understand, If Possible, What "memory," Old Or New, Has Brought This Idea About.

I Think Everyone Must Have A First Memory Of Some House, Some Room, A Vivid Picture That Will Remain Deep Down In One Forever.
