A Misconception

“One of the most common reasons people don’t hire an interior designer is cost. The misconception is that we’re expensive. Someone on a budget may think an interior designer may not be able bring style to the space with small amount of money. We’re trained to take space, budgets, and the client - designer relationship into consideration when working on a decorating project.”

— Jennifer Brouwer Design

My Thoughts Exactly

“As a society, I think we’re losing the confidence to be different. And that’s a shame. People look, dress and decorate their homes the same. No one wants to be an original any more. How sad that is.”

— Bunny Williams

Quoted by Designer Bunny Williams

“I believe that people should celebrate the wear, scratches, and other imperfections that they see. This is especially true with antiques. I mean, if you were 200 years old and been kicked around for decades, you’d be beat up too. But that’s what creates the character, uniqueness, and personality of a piece. I don’t think that that visible wear and tear makes objects less desirable. I think they make them better and more interesting. Great interiors aren’t the ones where everything is new. Just the opposite.”
