You and the Mrs. just have to find what style you both have in common then stick to that theme.
Are you:
Art Deco ?
Shaker?
Modernist?
Traditionalist?
French Provencial?
Victorian?
Many times the house itself sets the theme.
It’s hard being a Modernist inside a Victorian.
…see what happens when you watch too much HGTV?
“I just moved in part for tax reasons. I am no longer paying NYC income tax. That alone will offset a good home decoration budget in the first year alone.”

Speaking of which, so now I’m being told that the sofa needs to match a rug which needs to match the walls which need to match everything else????? WTF????? Jesus tap dancing christ, I sign off on buying a couch and now I’m supposed to be a goddamn interior designer???? This is exhausting. I thought by mastering the couch situation I would be done.
When our son was born almost 10 years ago there were major complications. He ended up spending 6 days in neonatal ICU, and Wendy spent 5 days in the hospital after an emergency c-section.
The total bill was around $70,000.
I believe the insurance company ended up paying around $30,000, with us paying a few hundred.
