Don't think that you need to decorate in one go. Decorating a house takes a while and it always looks better when it has evolved over time. You will also be able to afford much nicer things if you do this.

I always try to remember this when I'm frustrated with how unfinished my place is.
I'm constantly revising and evolving decisions. You can always tell when a space was put together and planned in one fell swoop.

so true! i love the palimpsest quality of lived-in and thoughtfully decorated places.

I need, need to follow this one better. I get so excited and anxious for the final result that I sometimes make decisions I want to change later.

I just told my boyfriend that a few days ago, setting my 'strategy' to building a home when we do get one.
All these tips are excellent, so true to the heart.

I've been trying to explain this to a friend, who just moved into a Brooklyn brownstone with her boyfriend and is in a tizzy trying to get it fully decorated.

Loving these tips. Especially this one....it seems so many people today go for decorating their house in a couple weeks time. It does look pretty to have a complete house but usually there is not a lot of character or meaning behind any of the items and I think that is just no good.
Love your blog!
