They need to respect beautiful things, whether it’s art or clothing or jewelry, but I also want my girls to feel comfortable in their own home. I don’t ever want them to feel nervous here.
— Stacey Bendet (Alice + Olivia designer, mom to Eloise, age 4, and Scarlet, age 2)
Stacey may not have twins, but this sums up my philosophy on children + interior design exactly! From an early age, I’ve taught my boys to respect beautiful things … but there’s nothing in our house that is “hands off.” It is possible to have a chic and sophisticated home with young children, even 2+ infants at the same time!
Stacey Bendet quoted in InStyle (April 2013).
