"It is only my eye that has helped me. I
am still hopeless with that thing called a scale
ruler. I love color, but that comes very naturally
to me. From the beginning, I never followed trends.
If I was aware of them, I didn't care, for I believed
as I do now, that rooms should be timeless and
very personal. I don't set out to achieve a particular
style. And I certainly don't have a 'look' --
just a mishmash of everything that somehow, by
instinct, usually turns out to be a warm imaginative,
'living room'."

Although Mrs. Parish was adamant she didn't
have a 'look', she was consistent in certain areas,
such as her use of color. Color gave her rooms
charm, imagination and a 'lived in look'. Her
basic tenet was to be unafraid in picking bold
colors and always try to put things together because
you like them -- not because they 'match'. She
used bright colors fearlessly with her materials
and she loved painted furniture most of all. The
Sister Parish Design collection reflects Sister's
love of color and harks back to many of the rooms
she decorated for herself and family.
