Re: Decorating Trends
Sigh, you guys make me feel downright guilty. I hate decorating. It's like, um, work. My walls have always been a simple offwhite. I break down and paint them only when I have to. Heck, once I actually sold my house and moved rather than paint it -- too much like work. I do love art and have some special pieces from an artist named Lu Hong from the Hunan School. They were great in California -- I get some odd looks here .... they're nudes done in a contemporary/Asian mode. My taste in furniture is contemporary and Asian.
Nonie, at least your furniture has some style and fits TV. And HB, I loved your house the first time I saw it. It so suits you and Sidney. Even DickY's house has more flair than mine does (or would if I had decorated it). lol (Actually, DickY's house is quite nice and suits him to a T.) I know SamHass doesn't believe me, but her home so reminds me of Northern California. The furnishings would fit perfectly around the Carmel Highlands or Berkeley/Oakland Hills or Marin County.
So, when I finally get my own place, I'm just gonna let you guys come over and decorate to your heart's content. The only thing I'll ask is please no antiques -- they're just not my style.
