Jones: One with a tight back cushion and rolled arms. I like a neat, clean look.
Barden: George Smith Edwardian.
Liebschwager: One with clean lines; modern with a wood base.

Jones: Conservative, muted, dull fabrics. There are so many fun and invigorating fabrics out there now.
Barden: Usually color. Mauve is bad 1980s.
Liebschwager: Big, fat, rolled arms on a sofa.

Jones: No.
Barden: No.
Liebschwager: Yes. Top Design, reDesign, Divine Design [all on HGTV].

Jones: Green.
Barden: At this time of life, chartreuse.
Liebschwager: Aqua.

Jones: Veranda, Southern Accents, House & Garden, Virginia Living, Traditional Home, Architectural Digest.
Barden: House & Garden, Metropolitan Home, Southern Accents, Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, Martha Stewart Living, Town & Country. Metropolitan Home has the freshest, newest ideas. It's a little more on the style edge.
Liebschwager: I get 25 of them every month. My favorites are House Beautiful and House & Garden.

Jones: A feeling of welcome. It should be a home, not just a house. Rooms shouldn't be picture-perfect.
Barden: Comfortable seating. The first thing I look for when I get home is the couch.
Liebschwager: Beautiful window treatments and comfortable seating.

Jones: Gray.
Barden: I like all colors. Purple is hard to live with, unless you have the guts.
Liebschwager: I love all colors. Neon yellow would be difficult for me to live with.

Jones: It is what it is. It should be in the optimum position, and seating should be placed so that chairs can be turned. Don't focus the furniture on the TV. I treat it like a picture on a wall; I decorate around it. You don't necessarily have to hide it, but conversation should be the first option.
Barden: Just as you would around a regular TV. There should be plenty of relaxing seating. Flat screens aren't ugly; I don't like to cover them up. It's good to live in the 21st century.
Liebschwager: Two ways: on a wall, or on a chest or painted cabinet or stand. Flat screens have become so pretty that they're a piece of art.

Jones: A warming drawer in the bathroom so that when you step out of the tub, you have a warm, clean towel to wrap around you.
Barden: Having good drapery. It finishes off a room like nobody's business. I grew up in the country without anything on the windows. The house felt like a barn.
Liebschwager: Nice quality fabrics with a nice hand.

Barden: It was a house in Southampton, N.Y. The wife was pregnant, so the husband took over. I didn't clear his decisions with the wife. She didn't like the linen draperies in the living room, so we took them out. Discussion is important. Everyone has to be in agreement. It's better to have a happy customer.
Liebschwager: In my house... going after a fabric because of cost instead of getting what I loved.

Jones: It's fun and inviting. Your home is everything.

Jones: Someone who's overwhelmed by choices and needs someone to come in to help.

Liebschwager: Go with what you love and not what other people think about it. Your house should reflect your personality.

Barden: Orange is really big and so is chocolate brown. Painted (not distressed) furniture. Bright colors and lacquer.
Liebschwager: The Asian influence and especially lacquered furniture.
