When you leave a beautiful place, you carry it with you wherever you go.
From Alexandra Stoddard
I feel very strongly we are spiritual beings in a physical body, and we should make our surroundings as beautiful and soulful as possible.
If we could make our house a home, and then make it a sanctuary, I think we could truly find paradise on Earth.
We can finish a house, but never a home. Once you fall in love with a house, you find continual pleasures in fixing it up and making innovations that satisfy your creature's comforts.
Your past is something you cannot change. You can't live it; it's dead.
If we have authentic, honest, earthy materials in our houses, we'll be more authentic, honest and natural.
Feeling at home with ourselves and being able to create a spirit of place that nourishes us physically, emotionally and spiritually is a goal worthy of our highest priority.
My mantra is: Let there be happiness in my soul, and let me share it with the world.
I have my clothes made in Hong Kong, but I love Shangai Tang in New York.
When I was little, I got to pick my hair ribbon from my mother's collection that hung over her dressing-table mirror. I have an entire room of ribbons in my New York apartment.
