Don't forget estate sales. I'm continually amazed at what I find for a fraction of the price. It's spray painted or updated just cushions and you have a one of a kind. You also support a totally local economy in the process.

I once bought a 12' tuxedo sofa for my one bedroom house on an impulse. When it arrived, they kept bringing it in and in and in. What the hell was I thinking. I still love it.

My biggest buyers remorse is buying trending furniture and colors. It gets old after a couple of years. Go with your gut not what HGTV says is hot right now.


Have You Ever Experienced Decorating Remorse?

I've mostly learned from my mistakes, sometimes costly then over a period of time those costly ones gave me a new perspective and/or challenge.
My favorite posts is when I come on APT and think, brilliant why didn't I think of that. One of my biggest challenges on here is trying to find old posts to reference or store for future reference.
I've done a lot of my growing from this website.

Thanks

I've never been one to like color sorry. I repeatedly see it used and it comes across like a daycare center. This home is friggen amazing. I'm totally impressed with your skills. I wish I had color down as well as you do. This amazing and Home Tour worthy for any cause. Thanks for sharing.

I like bust in a room but can I say there are an awful amount of ugly ones out there on the market. It has to be the right one. I typically do not like well known figures either.
I like architectural figures such as a pediment or a good looking wooden cog from a mill.

I've been a fanatic of this show for eons. None of my cookbooks have the wear and tear that ATK books have taken. I also like the comments as to why certain methods and tools work better than others. Thanks for the tour.
