2. Although popular in the late 1980s and early 90s, that forest green on all of the old woodwork was a bad idea.
3. Plastic and brass modern chandeliers are never, and have never been in good taste.
4. Drilling a cable hole in the wall and adding two wall plates is a whole lot easier than leading, draping and stapling cable along walls, under doors, and over closet door sills.
5. Barf pink is not the new peach.

Nettl's going to be late for lunch. (Everyone is in a meeting and I can't leave until it's over.)
I can go with you this evening and help if you want to wait until then. :)
No, you need to rest.
I'll get the key when you come home.
condoms in a box of malboro?

Teenaged boys... Arg!
