This is a very interesting post. When I bought my first house, I fell into this trap. I became the "amateur stylist." I imagined hosting parties and holidays, and even having tea with close friends. I even bought an awesome vintage tea set. My house was set, and I was ready, but nothing really came of it. No parties or holiday gatherings, not even tea with close friends. For a while it looked like a show house, not a home where people lived. So I eventually made it perfect for me, and not perfect for the imagined party guests.
