Everything Began at Home: One of an Interior Design Enthusiast¿s Quirky Dreams Laurie Oxsen

My God! Kidnapping! Lord David, singlefather and reclusive architect, still couldn'tquite believe he'd done it. He knew themoment he and his sister entered LaurelAndrews' home that he needed to hire herdecorator. Imagine his surprise when therealtor informed him that Laurel, married fortwenty years to Greg, was the decorator, thehouse had predominately been done in threeweeks time, and that it was her "hobby." Heshould have known. He had never seen anything like her home orfelt anything like her home. Every room hada comfort that drew you in and made you feelat ease as if in slippered feet looking for yourfavorite chair. Her home emanated the feelone gets only from well worn furniture andyet everything was flawless and only markedif intended by design. Each room had touchesof nature and as one turned from here to therea surprise just waited to delight the eye. Noone would be able to recreate thecombination of texture, color and warmthpermeating his senses. He would have doneanything to give his children the home he hadalways wanted for them. Lord David might have turned the plane backto California if he had known the emotionalpandemonium about to reign overWhitethorn Castle!
