7 Renaissance Design Features Right at Home Today

So, Because I do not take decorating advise from my grandmother, I do not respect her? So, respect means not taking your own experience into account? Wow, not only do insult me and my familial relationship, you complain but you attack someone because you think you are better. If you would like to know, I most certainly respect my grandmother, she is the only respect worthy person in my family. So, but I still do not take decorating advise from her, in fact, she other than me is the best cook in the family and asks my advise. And I am the only one who has listened to her even though she has a 10 grade education because she married at 16. I suggest everyone stop putting down ideas they do not agree with and stop attacking others for their notice of disparagement. There are many ways for people to design, but with complaint is not design, it is simply, a waste of everyone's time. Take what you like and let the rest go.

Sophia, I think you need to read more carefully what is written. I did not say you did not respect your grandmother, I said you did not respect her knowledge and experience and that was judging by the way you emphatically stated you did not take her advice for decorating. In fact your comment was quite insulting to and dismissive of older people in general. I do not think I am better than anyone - mature people know better to think that way and I was not "complaining" about design, I was merely pointing out drawbacks to design - I believe that is called constructive criticism which is very relevant to design and is generally an accepted and necessary factor in design discussions and definitely NOT a waste of everyone's time.

We have 9 foot ceilings in much of our house. Changing light bulbs in these rooms is quite manageable with a small light ladder or big step stool. In the room with the 18 foot ceilings we spent the extra $$ for LEDs that should last 20 years. Once every 20 years I can hire someone to change the lights, and that's what I plan to do - hire someone to replace all the LEDs bulbs when the first one goes.
