Posted May 16th @ 16 May, 2010

But it can be a bit Spartan'and cold'and lacking in comfort. And I love comfort, though I do not like a clutter of decorative items in any room. I'm really appalled by the whole concept of  "table-scapes". That's where you arrange a bunch of unrelated items like multiple framed photos, flower vases, silver candy ...
