love the tip about the number of seats in your living room should mirror how many can sit at your dining room table... never thought of it that way, but that is pro-level entertaining!

Yes I totally agree! It makes perfect sense but isn’t totally obvious.

Say hi to Max for me - I taught him high school English. I’m no designer, but I’ve also followed his career loosely and have learned from him.

I really enjoyed this! We live in an 18th century Cape Cod “telescope” house. The woodwork is all original, as are the floors. My husband and I inherited family antiques….furniture, rugs, artwork etc. and it makes up 99% of our house. We

periodically reupholster the furniture to keep it fresh looking, lots of family photos,

kid’s artwork from college and art from places we visit. Nothing is “decorated” yet

is lovely and original. It is “ours” and is comfortable. However, having dogs have definitely “antiqued” the antiques🥰.
