Invest
in at least one nice painting. Good artwork
is key for every room.
Even if your living room is mod, have one
antique piece and a comfortable
sofa.
Every dining room should contain one
antique.
Be creative in the bedroom.
A bed says a lot about the person living
in the house.
Mix antiques with modern
& vintage furniture, fabric or art.

My
living room is tiny but has floor to ceiling
windows, a fireplace, great artwork
and a divine french daybed
with modern Donghia fabric.
I can now relate to the people who keep their
furniture covered in plastic and don't allow people to drink
anything but clear liquids in their house...I must be going
mad!

color of a room can make or break the whole atmosphere that
one is trying to create
A good eye for proportion. You either have
it or you don't.
Access to off the beaten path resources.
It's important to cultivate contacts with creative artisans
and to add your list as often as possible.

I
love everything that I've ever seen David
Hicks created.
He had a wonderful eye for proportion and
was a master at creating classic interiors
with a twist. He even created beautiful gardens.

In
a home, you should have art that speaks
to you personally, not what matches the
couch.

I
paint water because it’s in my
soul. I paint the relationship
between light and water
and its motion, which is everchanging-it’s
like emotion, which fascinates
me. The best time to paint for me is early
morning or late at night-after
my or before my brain is awake. It’s a more emotional,
less distracting place for me.

My
daughter’s room is whimsical.
I love to lay on the floor and stare at the ceiling.

Trust
your instincts and discard
labels Be indulgent.
Living rooms should have pillows
in lush country silks.
Baths need candles.
Kitchens deserve stainless steel appliances.
Dining rooms-elaborate, opulent chandeliers.
The bedroom should have 3 rows
of pillows and at least 300 thread
count sheets.
Home offices are best with good
shelves and book plates.

I love our piano room because I love to
hear my husband play and it’s the
one room, of course, that is completely finished.

I
love the Hotel Costas in Paris.
With no sign, it took hours to find but once there, we loved
the opulence, the velvet,
the lushness...so glamorous.
The food is awesome and well-priced!
