People think that buying something for their home which is up-to-date is chic, but often it's a cliche. I call people who simply give clients the current 'thing' stylists not decorators.

I'm hopeless at telling lies. I can attempt strategic ones in order not to hurt people's feelings, but then I'll blow it 10 minutes later.

Sunday afternoon is for papers and writing.

It's rude to not try and look up-to-date. Is rude the right word? Yes! It's rude - rude to other people.

I'd like not to have these great puffy lobes on my ears - I'd like them to taper in.
