Choose !! Choose !! Choose!!

When it comes to decorating a house, I don't have much idea. But I hear others talking about different ideas from Crown molding to Corner table and all I have is an avid interest to learn from the enthusiasts who write about it in web, who show their decor in Home TV, who write in blogs, who write books....And collectively I think I now have the resources to plan on decorating my own... leave alone the decision making part though ;-)

As our new home is getting ready @ Chennai, we will soon be selecting paints, main door, oonjal etc.. Though my mom and dad do regular progress check of construction, I wanted to start give my ideas to implement before it is too late.

And now one of the mind boggling things for me is painting the house & color selection -I know I want to paint the corner wall in a different color from the side walls and when I browse at Asian paints- OMG They have all kinds of choices and for a too-scared-to-decide-person like me, too many choices are always going to be difficult.

When we decided to buy a home, Param made the choice on builder and apartments and we decided then that I will have the final say on our home interior decoration.
Since it is almost time for me to call my shots, I am kind of getting overwhelmed with the choices and the thought that I cannot blame him if anything goes wrong ;-)

BTW, We do not want to have the usual dining table in our home, since we both realize we mostly use it as a table to leave our handbags etc. Hence I am thinking about a low dining table where you get to sit more close to the floor (though the downside is that it will be a little tough on folks with arthritis)
Anyway I need to start getting my shortlist of painting & decoration ideas, furniture choices in chennai soon and I need suggestions and your experience- Anything that worked out for you :-)
