It Has Not Been An Easy Cross

Even My Aunt Joan, Hopelessly Sentimental About Every Member Of Our Family, Admitted That I Was Hideous.

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.

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'.
