“Look for inspiration in books, magazines, and even other people's home...” — Candice Olson Quote

“Look for inspiration in books, magazines, and even other people's homes - then be brave and take a chance with a room in your home.”

“We're a very active family, and I like everything in its place. I'm all about designing every little space. It will help me in the business of being a mom. Every single day is so crazy with my work that I just need to be able to come home and do that business as efficiently as I try to do my professional work.”

“I know it can be difficult for parents, but I really do believe that kids need to play the predominant role in the choices that go into their own space.”

“Yeah definitely, I have to be brave. There are some bad tackles that we don't like. But it's not my job to look at that, it's the referee's job, he has to see what is going on. All I try to do is keep going.”

“I think, regardless of gender, women and men need to be brave, take chances with their work, and be open to feedback. But I do think 'politeness' is an issue that can hinder your work if you aren't careful. Kindness is important, but being overly polite - thinking you can't disagree with someone about your own work - be careful about that.”
