Le parole che non ti ho detto


partendo dal presupposto della noia mortale che pervade le poche pagine di questo libro si trovano cmq e sempre spunti interessanti...



I libri sono per natura strumenti democratici: sono molti, spesso si contraddicono, consentono di scegliere e di ragionare.

Io voglio che il mio lettore, chiunque egli sia, pensi solo a me e non stia a pensare alle nozze della figlia, alla notte che ha passato con l'amante, alle trame dei suoi nemici, alla causa in tribunale, alla terra o ai soldi, e almeno mentre legge voglio che sia solo con me. (Francesco Petrarca)

ovvero gli uomini sono semplici ^___^

We believe that your home should make you happy.

We believe that when it comes to decorating, the wife is always right.
Unless the husband is gay.

We believe in carbohydrates and to hell with the puffy consequences.

We believe minimalism is a bummer.

We believe handcrafted tchotchkes are life-enhancing.

We believe tassels are the earrings of the home.

We believe in our muses: David Hicks, Alexander Girard,
Bonnie Cashin. Hans Coper, Gio Ponti, Andy Warhol, Leroy Neiman,
Yves Saint Laurent, and Madonna.

We believe in the innate chicness of red with brown.

We believe in being underdressed or overdressed always.

We believe in infantile, happy emblems like butterflies and hearts.

We believe celebrities should pay full price.

We believe in rustic modernism: Big Sur, A-Frame beach houses,
raw beams, and geodesic dome homes.

We believe in Palm Beach style:
Louis chairs, chinoiserie, Lilly Pulitzer, The Breakers circa '72.

We believe our designs are award winning even though
they've never actually won any.

We believe in Aid to Artisans.

We believe dogs should be allowed in stores and restaurants.

We believe in mantiques - suits of armour,
worn chesterfield sofas, heraldic tapestries.

We believe you should throw out your Blackberry
and go pick some actual blackberries.

We believe colors can't clash.

We believe in blowing your nest egg on our pots.

We believe our lamps will make you look younger and thinner.

We believe in irreverent luxury.
