We can live closer to our dreams if we are willing to dream them. And we can create a life as we want it to be.
Colors are important. People are in clinical depression whether they are on medication or not. Neutrals are another form of medication.
Our home, just like our garden, evolves. We experiment, try out different things and new colors until we feel content. Try to keep the metaphor of home as garden in your consciousness.
A home should be an intimate autobiography of the things that you like. One of the things I'm so keen on expressing is that, if you don't do it for yourself, if you're always seeking affirmation from outside, you'll never have a home. It'll just be a house.

Being a mother and grandmother is the best of the best in my life. My grandchildren multiply the joy my daughters bring me.
The home is the center of your soul; it's a total reflection of your inner life. If you have a dreary home, it means you are dark inside.
I want to inspire through example. I hope my books motivate others to open doors and windows that will help them to embrace their own truth, light and joy.

Don't feel you have to buy something to sit in or at. Buy something you are emotionally attached to and build your design around that. One Matisse cutout poster could provide you with your whole color scheme!
