Rooms Should Be Timeless.

Rooms Should Be Timeless.

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'.

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

...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.

Innovation Is Often The Ability To Reach Into The Past And Bring Back What Is Good, What Is Beautiful, What Is Useful, What Is Lasting.
