He Said She Said

"Babe Paley taught me a lot of things; How to look at a room, for instance. She showed me how to decorate by throwing things together, expensive things with cheap things from the dime store. She showed me that a room can be fun and personal, and that's the way I've decorated ever since."

Truman Capote
