Decorating Advice for Newlyweds

“This old thing?”

Another piece of timeless marital advice: Remove all price tags before bringing accessories into the house. One decorator remembers a married couple he worked with who were spending a lot of money on their interiors. The husband objected to the $350 charge for a custom pillow, but had no qualms about the overall cost of the job. The point is, $350 seems like a lot for a pillow, but it was much more palatable when rolled into a larger bill, sparing him the eternal mystery of the high costs of cushions.
