\nLet\u2019s now Mary better?<\/strong><\/span>
\nA pattern I can\u2019t live without<\/strong> is stripes. They\u2019re so basic and universal; they can be modern or traditional.
\n\"Inspirational<\/a>
\nThere is such a thing as clashing colors<\/strong>, but I can\u2019t say there\u2019s any rule about colors that go together. It\u2019s more about the value of a color, its tonality. You have to strive for balance, so if you\u2019re going to make it clash, make it clash evenly.
\n\"Inspirational<\/a>
\nMy rule for mixing patterns<\/strong>: Patterns don\u2019t have to match but all the colors should work together and they should be all different scales.
\n\"Inspirational<\/a>
\nTwo things that add instant glamour <\/strong>are oversized door pulls and all-mirrored powder rooms.
\nMy favorite room in the world<\/strong> is Nancy Lancaster\u2019s yellow library. Very old-school and weird-old-lady with urns and flowers but so glamorous.
\nIf I had to decorate using two sources<\/strong> only, they would be JF Chen for furniture, and Schumacher showroom for fabric and Patterson Flynn and Martin rugs.
\nMy top three favorite stores in L.A. <\/strong>would have to be Govinda\u2019s, the Hare Krishna store, which sells saris and textiles they get straight from India\u2014and it all smells like incense and vegetarian food. I love the architecture of the Gucci store; the stuff inside is just a plus. I also love Book Soup.alnuts and crackers.
\nI\u2019m pro<\/strong> scented candles. Especially Manuel Canovas candles, which smell like none other.
\nThe most extravagant purchase I\u2019ve made<\/strong> is a Giambattista Valli ball gown that I have nowhere to wear. I also have bolts of fabric for homes I don\u2019t have yet. Some people call it hoarding but to me it\u2019s just creativity, and it\u2019s much less expensive than owning the actual homes.
\nMy favorite sheets <\/strong>are Frette, D. Porthault, Pratesi, Sferra and Leontine Linens. If I were in a log cabin I wouldn\u2019t mind flannel sheets but I don\u2019t like being in a log cabin.
\nMy signature decorating touches<\/strong>: Even in a modern room, something that has a little old\u2013world glamour like a pair of french fauteuils or paneled walls or an urn. I also tend to use a palette of just two or three colors evenly placed around the room.
\n\"Inspirational<\/a>
