"But I love to do decorate my house with interesting things.
I love to bargain shop and pull together different looks.
Interesting colors, shapes, groupings.

Oh, I so get this!😄

I've done this. While I don't have much extra money for stuff now, luckily when I moved to the ALP I took some of my favorite things when I had had some money to buy cool, beautiful items, a gift or two from my sister (excellent design sense), a few things I kept from my mom after she passed. (My sis and I picked stuff out that either she bought, or we gifted her).
Our windows sill is wide; so that's where I display a bunch of the items I have. 🩷
In little groupings. 👍

How nice, a compliment that family, and friends ask you for advice!

Not the biggest fan of beige or cream. Though cream, and gold go nice together..
Grays; I like deep charcoal Grey, andcoslt grays
