Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

IF you were going to describe your decorating ethos in a few words, how would you?

Cat-distressed gentlman's club library. (18th century gentleman's club, not the stripper kind) There's lots of wood, comfortable upholstery in autumnal colors, bookcases, and cat hair.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Vintage stuff, with illustration art on the walls and dog hair on the floor.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Back home now. Tired.

Our decorating style? Fannish.(Books, cats, sf-related artwork...)

My style: I needed someplace to keep my books and stuff.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Cat-distressed gentlman's club library.

That sounds like what I aspire to. What I actually have is Eclectic with Many Penguins. No, what I really have is Clutter and Rabbits (since the rabbits are still in the middle of the living room, they are a prominent part of the decor).

That's hard, lisah. But it sounds like she's not working out for you.

Are we discussing Outlander anywhere?

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

My design aesthetic includes a rug we are going to throw away once the dog dies, oil cloth covered tables, and a bunch of rolly bins with medical supplies or craft supplies in them.

So I guess it would be mostly a durable crap aesthetic.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

My decorating style is "I moved and all my stuff doesn't fit so it's just sitting there in boxes until I can afford a bigger place".

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

IF you were going to describe your decorating ethos in a few words, how would you?

Colour, geometry, penguins.

Graduate student/college teacher clutter trying to be a grown up work in progress. And I'm neither grad student nor teacher.

lisah, I think you should start trying other stylists and using her as backup.

Last swim at my pool for a week was frustrating. 10 laps in, someone had a med emergency and we had to clear for the guard to deal with paramedics. Then they had to close early because guard had to go to his second job and they hadn't scheduled a backup. But he was nice enough to let me finish my main swim, though I couldn't do my cool down laps. Not his fault and he waited since he knew I was near the end. I really wish the new coordinator would do a better job. At the least, she needs to cover shifts when their empty.
