Interior Decorating

I don't take naturally to interior decorating. I have no flair for it, no natural aptitude. I know what I like, which for lack of a better term I'll call Old World Cozy, but this is not an easy vision to articulate.

A recent burst of decorating energy has propelled me online and into furniture stores, where I wander bewildered among the couches, tables and chairs. The problem with making one decision is the many others that follow. 

If we buy this couch, must we buy the chair? And the ottoman? And what about end tables and lamps?  Ah, yes, the list is endless. 

Which is why ... sometimes ... I do nothing at all.
