Don´t know where to start. Too many words, sorry.

Totally agree with Stebonheath. Our parents and grandparents had lots of things in their rooms; a hangover from the Victorian age. Today we demand brighter lighter interiors and large dark furniture and porcelein ladies are totally out of fashion. Whilst I am not a fan of totally open plan layouts, it does make rooms appear much larger than they are. My parents house faced a park with mature trees and we had lace curtains totally covering the windows then heavy lined velvet curtain on top, to be closed after dinner. My windows only have the light curtains closed when dark. It makes a huge difference.

I was getting shopping delivered the other week and the tesco delivery guy seemed really shocked at how fabulous inside the house was as the outside work had not commenced and it was in pretty poor condition!

I like too many things so I suppose mine is eclectic. My absolute delight is the Art Deco Moderne style; beautiful veneers, chrome, mirrors, fabrics and shapes, unfortunately I'm far to untidy and clumsy to live with it.
