Moreno delighted in filling her 4000-square-foot home with all the incredible and eclectic ethnic art that she has collected over the years (figure B). She loves the "vibe" her home exudes and gets many compliments from guests. Practicing a strong eye for art, her only challenges are finding ways to make the varied pieces work together. Her home is a collection of vignettes, which are displayed throughout the house. She cherishes the American Indian rug that hangs over her fireplace.

The kitchen (figure C) is the heart of the house for Moreno. She loves to cook and feed people and she spends most of her time here. The room actually phases into first a gathering area and then a play area. It's where everything happens and where her relatives and grandchildren gravitate.
