Style and Stuff

Name the style: Mediterranean, traditional, modern, etc. Styles are sometimes trendy, so personally, I dont want to have a theme room which in three years may not be popular. Today we can mix different loved pieces together to create a tapestry which becomes our own stamp.

A table from Thailand with a piece of pottery from California next to a find from last week's street fair become personal and easily moved and changed. Your style is important to you. If you are still searching for a style, guess what -- your life changes and so may your criteria.

The plan for today changes with life. Marriage, children, pets, a new job - these events and things can put a chink in your plans. Be flexible and have fun. Your new apartment may need a poster to fill a wall or a table next to the couch. Next year you hide the poster in the bedroom and the end table becomes the table on the porch. Today with all the availability of things, we can fill up a home in a weekend with all kinds of treasures. The items from other family members and previous living situations also fill your home. You need a plan.

Consider your budget. If you need to furnish your home NOW, you buy what you absolutely need first. A few quality items will last a longer period of time. If you like to refinish furniture or are as fickle as I am where as I change things frequently, you may save money by making things do for a time. Examine what you have against how you live.
