Smoothstar, what constitutes a gracious home? This is a question I am asked daily. After warmth and security, freedom from pests, and the obvious, leak-free roofing and plumbing, we turn our attention to home decor.
I heard a beautiful young woman say once," If the only furniture a guy has is a guitar amp , he ain't boyfriend material." I have a friend who thought three hundred empty beer cans on a ping pong table in his living room was OK. It's not.
Let's take a quick look at two great decorators, Pee Wee Herman and Gomez Adams. No, your furniture won't talk and there is such a thing as too much taxidermy. Do make your home distinctive. Your home should say ,"This is Me!" It should say it boldly, but avoid a shrill tone.
Tomorrow, we'll talk colors.
