Another décor item that I think is timeless is wood flooring in classic stains (oak, maple, walnut in dark brown up to light blonde stain). On the other hand, the tile that's meant to look like wood flooring, and grey wood flooring, were both trendy flooring, but not timeless.

I remember decades ago, when I was a waitress at a wonderful family owned high end restaurant in NY (working my way through college) and the owner and his wife were having a meeting with architects to build a new home. They wanted modern, but something that wouldn’t date itself. Inner me, upon overhearing this conversation (as I was tending to a nearby table) wanted to shout out, “Tell them they want classic architecture! NOT modern!” This was in the late 80s. I’m certain that they have since remodeled.

Kiva as always you are spot on. In my life time I've renovated three homes on a budget. I always go simple not trendy with bathrooms and kitchens because of a small budget and because my taste changes. If you dont do trendy on the bones of a home you can change up furniture and paint frequently and completely change the style.

Truly words of wisdom! Just to undermine your words regarding white bedding: The white bedding I use is from my great-grandmother (we're talking early 1900reds!) and handmade, all the way. It's pure linen and I love the look and feel of it. It even still has lace inserts and to make it match the colour scheme, I simply buy pillow cases in the colour I want and put them underneath my linen ones so they shine through the lace. As said, it's all handmade bedlinen, from planting the flax to spinning and weaving and then sewing it and making the lace. It couldn't tell more of a story really. And yes, I maintain it so it'll last me, but that said, it was worse for wear when it was just lying around in the linen closet for decades seeing that my gran and mum thought it too boring. It took me hours upon hours to repair the lace, which with having been heavily starched before being put away had become brittle in places. I still wouldn't have it any other way.

Re: sconces- I live in a house built in 1927, and although the wiring has been updated there are no outlets in the stairs and upstairs hallway. And the outlet in the bathroom only works when the lights are on. I put candle sconces in the stairwell, upper hallway and bathroom and use the battery operated candles with built in timers. Yes, I have to reset them every couple months to ensure they are coming on at dusk, and change the batteries every couple months. But at night if I don’t want to turn on the overheads for a quick trip to the bathroom, etc. they provide a soft flickering glow and enough light to navigate by.

My home is full of color. I do not do white sheets. My favorites are florals, but they can be hard to find these days. I like to mix them with comforters and duvets in Turkish or otherwise bohemian patterns. Maybe because my grandma had floral sheets when I was growing up. She also sent *everything* out, including her sheets, to be laundered and pressed. I remember them coming back wrapped in blue paper tied with twine. She was old-school New York born in 1910. I picked up a lot about style and how to keep a home from her. She loved good stemware and flatware. She taught me how to properly make a bed and set a table. She had china that had been passed down to her. She had furniture with frieze upholstery . . . all those things left a profound impression on me.

A few years ago, I gave away every single colored bedding I owned (can you imagine I had red sheets at one point. Primary colour red. Ewww!) and bought white bedding. My life has been so much easier on that front. I don't worry about mixing and matching and white bedding is so easy to care for. I walk into my bedroom and I'm instantly happy looking at the bedding.
