Quote for a Lifetime...

One of my favorite quotes from William Morris that still holds true today...think about it next time you are debating on that purchase....it might be $5 or $5000 but do you LOVE it?

"Have nothing in your home that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful" - W. Morris

It is really that simple. Don't fall for a bargain or buy to "throw away" later. I believe in sustainable design and that entails purchasing quality items that will stand the test of time. You can always embellish with trendy accessories but your basic items should be things you LOVE. Invest in these items and don't settle for less. If you covet an expensive piece, SAVE UP! But only buy what you love, and love what you buy for your home. After all, it is your after work retreat where you live, love and create the life you want!
