"Today is the first time I've read your column on About.com. It is excellent! I subscribe to about a dozen interior decorating magazines, but none ever gives the basics you did today. How to mix colors in a room is a special favorite. Nobody ever gets specific enough for me to feel confident in selecting colors. Thank you so much! Your new student." -- Jeannine, March, 2000

I've used many ideas from your newsletters and I always get excited to see your e-mail in my box... take care!" -- Victoria, March, 2001

"Thanks for the shopping tip on buying a pre-lit Chirstmas tree. I'd been looking for one and thanks to your links, I found them at Frontgate - 2 4' trees for only $49.00 each. I get the Frontgate catalogue and, because I bought on-line when your article appeared, I saved $30 per tree from their current catalogue. Thanks!!" -- Bonnie, Sept. 2001

"I so enjoy your newsletter and have gotten many good ideas from it." -- Gail, November, 2001

"Your quiz was so much fun and so informative that your poll was too insubstantial for me to give you kudos. Take a well-deserved bow. The quiz kept me going and taught me a few things I didn't know. The best question was about how long a typical kitchen improvment takes. Of course, my first inclination was 35,000 years. My bathroom took over one month and felt like a year, so I can imagine what's going to happen with the kitchen. Anyway, thanks for the fun and info." -- Linda, Sept. 2000

We just moved to our new 3 room apartment and I'm trying to find interesting ideas from you (although I read it even before we moved). So, thank you very much for all the interesting newsletters and of course the beautifull web site!" -- Betty, January, 2001

"THANK you so very much for the reply! I truly appreciate all the info, I have PRINTED it and will carry it with me as a reminder to get off the duff and continue on!!...AND I will get busy, guess I just required some encouraging words.... this REALLY means alot." -- Kathleen, August, 2000

"Hi-- thanks for your ideas. You have inspired me! Best regards." -- Jennifer, July, 2000

"Your timing couldn't have been more perfect with your article on elegant bathrooms. I had just signed an order for having our master bath wallpapered with a bold design. The real reason I chose the paper was to coordinate with the drapes at the bedroom window. After reading your article, I reassessed our bath as it is. The walls are muted, it has lovely embossed tile, and beautiful printed sheers draped on the bird-cage poles at the windows. I realized all this simple elegance would be overpowered by the wallpaper. Instead, I'll take your advice and spend the money on accessorizing, adding some simple classic items. Thanks for your article." -- Bonnie, June, 2000

"Good to hear from you again. Hope all is well. You're quite the celebrity. Macy's Special Events just contacted us about presenting for their Home Sales events in California and they said they found information about us and interior design on the internet at 'About.com'. Thanks again for the link." -- Bill, April, 2000

"Just wanted to send you some feedback on your Newsletters. They are excellent. They have helped me from cleaning my home (which I hate) to decorating ideas on a small budget. It is an excellent opportunity to get fresh new ideas for people just like me. Thank you once again. Your faithful reader." -- Erica, March, 2000

"Thank you very much for giving me links to sites on finding a job. I was able to post my resume to a lot of recruiters. Thank you so much for the time." -- Barbara, January, 2000
