home needs rooms
You need to have a home to go back to, whether it's a hotel room or a barn. It's only home when he's there.
beautiful country artist
I think we typically, as Northerners, stereotype what the South is in so many negative ways. We kind of forget all the beautiful things that they contribute to make this country a country.
summer new-york book
I'm opening a store at the end of the month in the New York meatpacking district. I'm launching a line of bedding this summer, and I am writing a book that will be out next January.
pride artist color
It's not about doing over the living room of someone who has bad taste in color. This is about restoring historic buildings and instilling pride in a community, which can be done through designing new public spaces and social gathering spots.
artist curiosity intense
Oprah has this intense curiosity that I haven't found with any interviewer.
running stress artist
We worked out a lot of bugs and figured out who was working and who wasn't and how this beast functions. It was a lot bigger than we actually thought, and now we have a well-run ship where it feels I can actually have time to imagine and not just stress out about everything.
cities people stuff
But instead of that stuff you get relationships with people and neighbors that you would never get in a city. People in small towns are a lot more open.
differences training different
There's a big difference between decorators and designers and the training is very different.
birth rough shows
The birth of any show is always a rough one.
house littles said
So, like I said, I will visit Jeffersonville more often because I now have a little getaway house up there.
moving frustration people
That was always my frustration with so many of these shows, because design is not an ambush... it's a relationship. You have to know how people move and live and work to be able to design for them.
design simplicity east
When East meets West, amazing design happens. L'Alahambra rug is a marriage of the clean line and simplicity of Western graphic design meets the complexity and beauty of Eastern pattern.
designer hard havens
I'm a designer, I love it, and I haven't worked this hard to do bad work.
stuff-happens done want
I will not do work that isn't done well or right. Stuff happens - things break, contractors don't come through - but I don't want to be responsible for not doing something correctly.
