quotes

"The essence of interior design will always be about people and how they live. It is about the realities of what makes for an attractive, civilized, meaningful environment, not about fashion or what's in or what's out. This is not an easy job."

- Albert Hadley

"I believe that sense of place is fundamental to who we are as human beings."

- Cheryl Durst, IIDA
