James’ Design Tips Paint the town white “Painting my walls white was the best thing I ever did. It just sets off all the colors in the art and the furniture.” Gender bender “I love to cut things with a little masculinity. I have flower pillows in my living room, and then this huge piece of deer art on my living room table. It all balances out.” Picture this “If you have to look up at a picture or piece of art, it’s too high. Lower the frame down a few inches and it will change everything.” Fear not “Don’t be afraid to pull furni- ture off the walls! You’ll be amazed how much bigger your space feels.” Stop seeking and ye shall find “I looked for a coffee table forever and couldn’t find the right one. I finally quit looking and almost immediately found the mid-century modern table I now have. I sure hope that’s how love works, too.” Stop and smell the roses “Always put some real flowers in your space. Fake is okay, but real makes all the difference.”
