"My rooms tend to be under-lit, because I favour candles. I have a console table which is lit from underneath. I like red as a colour for rooms, because it shows the skin well, and makes people feel happy. 
I like tables with a lot of bibelots on them. and confortable chairs for people to sit on. I enjoy moving things around, placing a plant here, a book there. I look carefully, studying exactly the right place for an object. It is one of my skills and one of my pleasures"
