Good Quote: Louis Pauzé

"We're all going to die. Write that down, miss. We don't have the luxury of a thousand years on this earth. Only sixty, or maybe eighty little years if we're lucky. And these years pass in a flash. Why not offer flowers to your spouse every night? Why deprive yourself of the happiness of making your house a home? Why resist your impulse? Daily life is the most beautiful voyage..." - Louis Pauzé

This quote is f'ing brilliant. I'm tempted to print, frame and post it in my place. Thanks!

PhillyLass, I love that mattress, too. If you click on the Scott Weston link in the post and dig around a bit, you'll see a full-on front view of the daybed. Its placement in the dining room is awesome.

Lovely quote needed that today. I am tired of thinking and talking to friends about the problems we are all facing during these times. I just said to a friend lets start thinking and talking about the things we love, life is a gift and way too short.

Ok take a look at the link to see more of this house, OMG holy crap it is so amazing, beautiful!!

Wow, I think I have decent taste and then I look at pictures like that and realize what a rank amateur I am.

(I love the quote, too, but I got a little distracted by that room.)
