I read the news and I like it.
Trends in interior decoration are welcome news for DIY home stagers.
The trend-spotters are saying that Americans expect to spend more time at home because of the financial crunch.
If they're looking for a home to buy, they are more likely than in past years to be looking for homey homes, homes that aren't just showplaces, but have some old fashioned elements mixed in with some touches of trendiness.
