<p>[QUOTE="Debora, post: 304623, member: 1476"]I call that "staging" rather than "decorating." A look promoted by many of the shelter magazines. Homes may be ready for a photo shoot but unlivable. To be a home rather than just a house, there must be evidence of a past or, at the very least, an engaged present (e.g. books, family photographs, personal art, a musical instrument, etc.) as well as the appropriate place for them. And -- to paraphrase Billy Baldwin -- comfort is the ultimate luxury. IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p>Debora[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
