Elsie de Wolfe was not only a pioneer in the art of interior design, but she left several pearls in the form of sentences. In Flip-it we have chosen our own top-ten. They are not in any order as no one is more important than others.
"I am going to make everything around me beautiful - that will be my life.”
“You will express yourself in your house whether you want to or not.”
“Be pretty if you can, be witty if you must, but be gracious if it kills you.”
“Light, air and comfort - these three things I must always have in a room.”
“I believe in optimism & plenty of white paint, comfortable chairs with lights beside them.”
“There never has been a house so bad that it couldn't be made over into something worthwhile.”
“It is the personality of the mistress that the home expresses. Men are forever guests in our homes, no matter how much happiness they may find there.”
“I can't paint. I can't write. I can't sing. But I can decorate and run a house, and light it, and heat it, and have it like a living thing.”
“It is not chic to be too chic.”
“When one begins to think of oneself as growing old, one is already old.”
