To execute a vision, good or bad, you've got to tune out the noise.

I've had a million setbacks along the way--from kiln fires burning down buildings to shipping disasters--that should have put me out of business, or at least left me lying in the fetal position on my bed for a few days. Luckily, though, I've never for one second thought that I had any other option than to just keep going.

Think like a photographer. Look at every vignette in your home like it's being shot for a shelter magazine and style accordingly.

There is no right answer except to play and experiment.

Your home should reflect who you are, so pick a palette that's close to your heart and run with it.

Used throughout a room, orange can become surprisingly neutral, and yet it can be bright and mood-enhancing.

A chic home makes you happy and a happy home makes you chic!
