Fair enough. There's no universal aesthetic. I lean toward simplicity;
if I won the lottery I'd fill my house with reproduction Arts and Crafts
furniture. Meantime, I scrape by on the odds and ends I've accumulated
over the years, because I just don't care enough.

I vanishingly rarely have guests. Shoot, I only make my bed when I
change the sheets. I just have better things to do.
