All righty, then. I told the long tale of our quest for a house here, including as vivid a description as I could muster of the current horrendous decor. Since we have a couple of months before we get the house, we’re starting to shop around for the things we’ll want to replace - flooring, cabinetry, window coverings, bathroom fixtures, as well as furnishings (most of what we had went to the kid.)
We’re finding that we don’t know a whole lot about decor from scratch. In the past, we’ve always had some place to start, and we generally could make it work to our tastes. But this time, we’ve got a clean slate. We find things we like, but finding things we like that will work together for a complete effect - that’s not so easy.
Sooooo, I’m asking for an education. I’d like to see websites or books that illustrate decorating styles. I want to learn how to make things work together. I also need to learn how not to end up with Z-brick and yellow-and-orange-mushroom wallpaper. :eek: Please, share links or recommend books or magazines that will help me and my sweetie to make a house that is US! I’ve been googling, but I’m not finding good pictures - perhaps someone else will have better luck!
