Q: BEST HOME PURCHASE FOR UNDER $100?

A: A steamer, but an all-purpose one, you can use it to clean the house, and it will have an adapter to steam clothes. So all purpose.

Q: WHAT HOME TRENDS ARE YOU LOVING? WHAT STYLES DO YOU THINK WILL EMERGE?

A: I love that we are embracing individuality in decor, I think we are redefining how we use our home and we can make it personal. I also think we will see a lot more pattern and collections ahead.

 

Q: WHAT IS AN OUTDATED TREND YOU HOPE DOESN’T RETURN?

A: Oh gosh, those rooms that weren’t for using, remember those? I want to use every space in my house, even if it is to sit in the quiet and look at the fireplace. With all the great

fabrics and surfaces out there, there doesn’t need to be any space that is hands off.

Q: WHEN YOU DESIGN A SPACE, WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ADVICE YOU GIVE?

A: Make it yours, if you love orange, go for it, it will work even in the most formal of spaces. I designed my house 14 years ago and I still love it, I have only added artwork and a couple of

pillows since then, I still look forward to coming home.
