Reading House Beautiful in the Immigration Office

…a found poem

A truly great room should make you think, I never want to leave.
It’s very important that your eye is constantly captivated.
When you’re given a dark space, create your own light.
Embrace mixed metals.
Don’t be afraid to use inherited antiques.
Encourage guests to float through the room while engaged in conversation.
Choosing the right light bulb is very important.
Use wallpaper in mundane spaces.
Every house should have a great bar.
A wicker animal brings a sense of whimsy.
Areas of transition can be places you enjoy spending time in.
Old and new belong together.
Never take anyone’s advice.
