Not that any one needs decorating "advice" but decorating articles are fun to read, if informative and novel. Decorating trends do change though (as this article points out)....What never changes: keep everything dust free, polish without removing patina. Rust is "in style" on some painted wrought iron furniture...But for all of us 'stuck' in the suburbs, decorating can relieve boredom....Biggest decorating tip from me: pay in cash, meaning check or debit card from acct. with a big balance and enough left to spare for needs not wants. And save through automatic deductions payroll savings plan. Pay yourself first.
