After student years of flat-sharing and living with other people's taste, I went into decorating overdrive when I acquired my first apartment - its floor plan not much bigger than the vintage Hermes scarves I then wore side-knotted on my head, pirate-style.
I look about my house and see there are lots of lovely things in it, but I constantly buy more.
Just because one likes to cook up a great meal or decorate their home doesn't mean they have to do it with granite counter tops and duck a l'orange.
Show some mercy to this chair which has stretched out its arms to you for so long; please satisfy its desire to embrace you!
Men have no concept of how to design things for the home. Women should design the things they use.
Interior decoration partly thrives on being social.
I have a small house so I borrow everything except art, that's what I love.
I love art and finding different bits and bobs for the apartment; so, I'm adding all my personal touches to the house.
I used to buy things for every hotel room or every place I lived in to make it feel like home.
Dream Home' is uncomplicated with everyday language that resonates with homeowners. We also included hundreds of never-before-seen images.
Interior decor is my guilty pleasure. If I'm going to splurge on something, it's more for my home than for clothes.
Even on a personal note, my dressing table downstairs is crowded with things, like a mini landscape. It's a city with buildings and towers and roads. There's a pool and a little park. When I move something around it becomes a different tableau.
I've always wanted to design a home collection line because growing up, I was obsessed with reorganizing my room.
I mean, even my dressing room at the studio has candles and cushions and cashmere rugs and things.
I am always fascinated by the lighting and the brands they have at TJ Maxx.
Whenever television cameras are interviewing people in their homes, I tend to look over their shoulders and have a good snoop at their living rooms. I am always astonished at how clean they all look, with nothing out of place or unnecessary or dropped down any old how.
I want every family in America to have a carpet on the floor and a picture on the wall. After bread, you've got to have a picture on the wall.
I'm also interested in pets with alopecia. And design. I'm surprised I haven't gone through with a homeware brand. The bedding, the comforters, the candles, the this and that. I would like to design everything.
I always like my trailer or hotel room to have fresh flowers or pillows I find at a local flea market - anything to personalize the environment.
I have everything from leopard print slippers to leopard print sheets and pajamas.
I live with the things that I love: art, furniture, and objects that I have collected throughout my travels.
I've always been very into interior design, and I can't stand to have anything in my apartment that I don't aesthetically love.
I get obsessed with decorations and decorating the house. I keep it tasteful outside, but when you get inside it is a bit like Blackpool illuminations, I go bonkers!
But I don't think that sculpture belongs in everyday life like a table does, or like a chair.
I have a real passion for many aspects of home lifestyle and beauty.
