My apartment is full of antique pieces, but I put everything together like a modern installation.
I hate sets. I've always hated sets. I think that if you have a dining room set, break it up!

Anticipating a boomerang child seems the odds-on thing to do. Think about furnishing - hello, sleeper sofa - with this in mind.
On Furnishing One's Home - Pick your furniture like you pick a wife; it should make you feel comfortable and look nice, but not so nice that if someone walks past it they want to steal it.
