Let me start by saying: I'm no professional interior decorator. Until I became happily cohabitated, I was perfectly content with an apartment full of build-it-yourself furniture from IKEA.
However, having spent many evenings watching HGTV, I've come to a point where I can't hold this in anymore.
1) STOP WITH THE TUSCAN THEME ALREADY.
My god, how tired can this trend get? At this point, unless you're opening an Olive Garden, consider another motif.
2) WHAT IS WITH PEOPLE WHO KEEP FULL TABLE SETTINGS ON A DINING ROOM TABLE AT ALL TIMES?
Does anyone else think it's bizarre to have a table looking like it is perpetually awaiting guests? Even if you do eventually use that table, you're still going to need to dust off the plates and utensils before they're used. (I'm aware that some people might be fully content to let their guests eat pollutants and once-airborne epidermal matter with their meal.) Unless you are a residential developer and showing a model home, put the table settings away. A nice centerpiece (and okay, maybe a runner) will do.
There. I feel better now.
