“A well-designed home makes your life better, not just prettier. The feel of Egyptian cotton sheets on your skin when you wake, or the sense and sound of a ceramic mug on a stone countertop in the morning gives you a moment of connection to your environment. It changes the way you live and has value beyond the cost of the materials.”
— Alden Miller
