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

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?
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.
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".
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.
