Is it "Curated" Clutter or just a mess?

With the return of the Lomino (Thanks MFAB!)- minded aesthetic and the influx of new swoon worthy photos… I couldnt help but wonder: How many tchochkes are too many? I have this fight with my mom all the time. She loves the tchochkes! She wants to put vases and Oraphors and Lalique on every surface, and I just have to rip em off!

The layered look is a great way to style a photo, but in our homes and real lives:

Is it just clutter?

I guess the thing is, HE IS AN FN GENIUS and everything he does (except for that awful dining room for Top Design) is so damn perfect!

Imagine being in the room, don’t think the little mini coffee table thats like 3 feet from the couches would really be too pleasant to set your glass on. I digress.

So, to stuff or not to stuff? What do we think?

    i love stuff, but i hate it too. mostly b.c i have a cleaning ocd. and yes, that black and white room is a little too blah for me. i know some people love em some b&w. and i do to but to me this one is a little boring and i seriously would rather poke my eyes out than look at those damn ikea pillows ever again.

So here are my thoughts on the idea of "copying" each other... If I post a photo from Domino, Elle Decor or anything else like that - unless I dug it up from 100 years ago or something- no need to source back to me! BUT if I post my house, my grandma's house, my friends house... you can and should leave a link! Cool?
