Home decorating is not something I particularly enjoy... I don't usually have the confidence to put things together well, and it drives me crazy to spend a lot of money on items that might not work! We moved into our current house in June, 2011, and we've still had a few large, bare walls. DH finally lost patience yesterday, and out shopping we went. Bought two pictures for the 12-foot high wall in the kitchen we'd never been able to find something for, and bought a lovely, sunburst-style mirror for the foyer. Also purchased two new mats for the foyer (front and garage doors).
So, to you, how important is home decorating? I think that our furniture is probably nicer than average, but I'm really not a decorator. DH thinks there's a lot of stuff that he wants to replace, and I'm just trying to deal with the empty spaces right now! I guess we'll have to just make a point of plugging away at the decorating one weekend a month.
I think part of the problem is trying to reconcile our antique and traditional furniture (No 1970's cast-offs, believe me) with a much more contemporary, high-ceilinged bi-level.
With a 1 and almost-4-year-old, I guess I can't see past the toys!
What do you do when it comes to decorating? Do you care a lot?
