What makes a happy design? Designer Susan Noble Jones says, "Rounded shapes like the drum shades, the living room tables, and the tub. They soften a room and make a house more lovable and livable." Fambuena's Dress pendant - satin ribbon wrapped over a metal frame - has a feminine glamour and seems to float above the room. Jones chose the Ellington wing chairs by Dessin Fournir for their high backs. Painting by Margaret Evangeline.
