From the Back Cover
"katherine's sense of of proportions, color and realism for our lifestyles, make her rooms feel alive, inviting and livable! The best compliment of all is when a guest says it doesn't feel like a decorator's decorated. Only Katherine knows how a splash of red will do the right thing for the right place. Her fabrics are classically timeless with such a feeling of lightheartedness like her. "Our home is a collage of cozy vignettes that one has to seriously contemplate and where you wish to land for that moment of reflection and gratitude." -Kari Lyn Jones-Sabin
