HGTV “REVEAL” IS HO-HUM?

Rebecca and Todd, as you know, I learned most of what I know about styling from you and David Feld. AND I AM A GREAT STUDENT! So see if you buy this: first, the painfully overdone green apples. Unless this is a nostalgia touch, we are talking even worse than ho-hum. We are talking wrong. Keep in mind, too, that this is a Park Slope couple in a fabulous brownstone. They are professionals. She is pregnant. Unless that white furry rug is for the baby to creep around on, it is worse than ho-hum. It is inappropriate. (Better suited to 14-year-old devotee of PB Teen catalogue.) And the stuff on the mantle? The, what, sticks in a vase, ornamental cabbage, and, what, beakers? I am a Libra, and I like symmetry unless the symmetry is broken for a reason, and by that I mean an intelligent reason. Okay, maybe ho-hum was a little harsh. How about, a tad derivative? (Smile.)
