difficult at times, but will try. better this as an interpretation than say- Ms. Burbank's.
Véra and Vladimir Nabokov showed that you don't need a vast estate and money pouring out of your wallet. You need an entertaining spouse, a porch overlooking mountains or ocean and lots of mental stimulation.
Bravo AL!!
I agree with Hels!
So true! Our clients, and we ourselves of course, need to look and feel the best in our respective homes. Doing so with a little bit of poise elevates everything.
And I must agree with Helen, it is about the smaller things in life.
Cheers,
Claudia
