I urge my clients to celebrate their passions and idiosyncrasies to create personal comfort zones that are inviting lifespaces to share or private hideaways. "Good taste" is about being appropriate. The spaces where we work and play must be appropriate to our tasks, our budgets, our personalities. The style we choose must be appropriate in our time. We must live in our own time. We can refer to the past -- but not copy it. Anything else is merely pretending. - Marcia Smith
