“word to the wise” wednesday: newell turner

Actually, I would argue that great rooms are works of art. While a flailing economy, political turmoil, and natural disasters around the world tend to make decorating seem more of a luxury than a necessity, we should never forget the power in every aspect of good design.  The mood of color on a wall.  The inviting feel of fabric on a sofa.  Or how the perfect pillow yields when you slouch into it.
