From the Author
FROM THE BOOK'S INTRODUCTION: Growing up in suburban St. Louis, I had my feet (and psyche) firmly planted in our beloved farmhouse with its fields, orchards, and shade trees. I adored the place and the peace and privacy of its setting. But what I didn't understand until later was the extent to which my sense of home as an adult was being shaped by the sounds and images of those early years. I cozied my first apartment in the city with familiar elements: an old wicker chair, overflowing bookshelves, an Oriental rug, and, of course, a cat. Today in the home I share with my husband, Ron (and four cats), it's no surprise that I gravitate to our second floor with its low knee walls and vaulted ceilings--happy reminders of my snug childhood bedroom. Even some room arrangements hint at the past. A friendly cloverleaf of Adirondack chairs in our year-round porch recalls a similar grouping from our backyard in the 1950s. And when I sit at my bay window desk today and look out into the woods, I feel the same contentment that I knew as a child when I sat in another windowed nook overlooking a different stand of trees. Whatever their style, the most inviting rooms always start inside someone's heart. Decorating, you see, isn't really about decorating at all; it's about creating a home that nurtures and relaxes you by reflecting who you are and what you love. Think for a moment about the things that have shaped your vision of what a home should be. Maybe it's a bedroom hideaway lovingly recalled from your own childhood, a screened porch where you rocked away an afternoon at a vacation lodge, your grandmother's dining room where the family gathered every Thanksgiving--or a room you may only have visited in your daydreams. By conjuring up images of such favorite places, real or imagined, you can cut through the sometimes confusing array of decorating choices, avoid being swayed by mere fads, and, instead, develop truly personal settings that will always please your eye and speak to your soul. As you thumb through the pages of The New Decorating Book, we'll give you the decorating help and inspiration--but you have to bring the dreams. After all, it's YOUR home.
