“word to the wise” wednesday: karen von hahn

I write about style for a living. … But my own style, particularly that of my own home, is really my life’s work.  It’s a crucial distinction, because that’s the thing about style:  it’s a creative reflection of all the places you’ve been, the encounters you’ve had and the influences you’ve gathered along the way.  It’s also your personal imprint, your particular point of view, which, at least in my case, is always evolving.

— Karen Von Hahn (quoted in Canadian House and Home, August 2010)
