The living room of my parents’ house in Houston, Texas.
I credit my mother with firing my love for design at a young age. The home tours and antique malls she took me to, and the design magazines and books that were always around our house, started me down a path that would lead me to become an architect and, eventually, a writer for a different kind of magazine. It’s mothers’ day, so in honor of my mother, and of mothers everywhere, I’m sharing three little morsels of design advice that I gathered from the most important woman in my life.
