My apartment is full of antique pieces, but I put everything together like a modern installation.
I hate sets. I've always hated sets. I think that if you have a dining room set, break it up!

Anticipating a boomerang child seems the odds-on thing to do. Think about furnishing - hello, sleeper sofa - with this in mind.
On Furnishing One's Home - Pick your furniture like you pick a wife; it should make you feel comfortable and look nice, but not so nice that if someone walks past it they want to steal it.

When it comes to designing your first apartment, I think people get overwhelmed and end up collecting pieces that don't always mesh well together because they don't have a clear vision. Take your time and use tools that can help inspire and guide you through the process.

Having bought furniture for my own house, and bought furniture for our house in Washington, a furniture store seemed like a good idea, and it also played into my personal history.
I didn't even know I needed throw pillows. That was always Brad's thing.
To me, when you decorate your home with just one store, it looks like that - it looks like a catalog.
