Who knew four days could be so stressful to him? Or to me, for that matter? <br /><br />How can it be that there is a generation for which book destruction even as decoration is not sacrilege? I fully agree with you.

It was A Look, as they say. Yet so much easier, and cheaper really, to simply turn those distracting spines to the wall--and what does it matter if they be the complete oeuvre of Danielle Steele? <br /><br />As you point out, there is always a subtext to these stylish gestures...like it or not.

Since inheriting quite a number of "objets" from my parents last year, which do mean something to me, and are indeed quite beautiful, I have resisted the temptation to add them to our apartment here. I've tried the additions (one by one), and then dismissed them, with tiny exceptions. Like you, I prefer an edited look. Having said that, I have just returned with more things that were in storage in Scotland. One piece is on trial in the red bedroom; a silver coffee pot has just been added to the "silver vault" that is one section of a large kitchen cupboard, where I suspect it will remain. Too much stuff; another picture goes on sale at the end of October. Absolutely no more acquisitions. Ever. Probably.columnisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03764365428633038329noreply@blogger.com
