Your home should tell the story of who you are.

You don't have to paint your walls lime green just to try to have your home feel decorated. If you're a classic dresser or preppy dresser or a modern dresser, you wear a lot of black - whatever it is - your home should reflect that as well.

A lot of guys go in immediately for status, as opposed to comfort and allowing their home to tell a story about them.

If you actually keep things very organized and clutter-free, you can have more furniture than you think you can in a small space.

Some kids spent their allowance going to see 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom'; I spent mine on a great-looking lamp I'd found at the flea market and a ceramic bowl from a neighborhood garage sale.

My favorite thing about decorating is mixing different periods and styles. If you have something that's old, and you really do want to mix those styles, then you have to add something that's obviously modern with it. You can't put a kind of a mediocre thing in the middle.

I hate sets. I've always hated sets. I think that if you have a dining room set, break it up!
