More quotes by Sister Parish
I think everyone must have a first memory of some house, some room, a vivid picture that will remain deep down in one forever.
Sister Parish
Rooms should be timeless.
Sister Parish
It has not been an easy cross to bear. It has caused considerable confusion. My husband constantly complained about the awkwardness of being married to a woman whom he called Sister.
Sister Parish
...When someone asks me to help create a room my first reaction, if I do not already know the person, is to try to feel out what he or she really wants the room to be and to understand, if possible, what memory, old or new, has brought this idea about.
Sister Parish
Home, the idea of home, is my principal purpose. If people have bought a house as an investment or chosen the furniture because they'll be able to sell it for more, you can tell in two minutes. You know, our parents didn't buy a house as an investment. They bought it as a place to bring you up, to give you roots.
