Fancy versus simple interiors. Which do you prefer?
Fancy versus simple interiors
I'm excited to see if Decorology readers prefer fancy interiors or simple interiors. I have my suspicions, but I'll let you guys decide in the comments!

Bare with me, this may seem a bit off topic for Decorology, but if you are thinking of buying/selling a home, or live out in the country - the issue of an oil tank WILL come up. We live in the 'burbs of DC and it ended up being a little issue when we were in settlement. If you...
