I believe there is elegance, in simplicity. I also believe in functionality. One must position their furniture in such a way, as to allow a flow to a room.

I originally went to the Oscar Madison school of housekeeping.

I then decided to go the Felix Ungar school of house keeping. It's much better training.

I find it much better not to have clutter around the house, but just enough to have everything one needs. I like to feel comfortable so my guest will feel comfortable. My ex-wife wanted a house for show and not comfort, as she had plastic seat covers on everything. Ever take a nap, and walk up in sweat, from plastic seat covers? Also, a white rug she didn't want anyone to walk on. Ughhhhhh......... I guess that's one reason why, she is my ex.

Please Mr. Moderator, give Gracie, a decorating thread as it can be useful to many TOTV members, who enjoy interior decorating.

I like to think I do alright, for a guy who started to be into interior decorating, when trying to sell my condo in CT. It finally allowed me to move to TV, as a single woman bought it !!!!

BTW - a dumpster is a great device for decluttering, for those who are moving to TV. Most people just have too much stuff. My mother used to have hundreds of knick knacks that she had to dust. I could never figure out, why someone would want to do that much housework, but to each their own.

Less is more!!!
