I use these rules every time I decorate a nightstand. Do you know what they are? What’s great about them is whether it is an end table, hutch, sideboard, or mantel, you can decorate the table quickly and have it look gorgeous every time by following these simple steps.

Jan Allen says
I am moving to a Naples, FL condo on the water. My present home is decorated country French. In my new home I want to decorate coastal, but I have 2 leather sofas (gold/beige) and glass & iron coffee/end tables (definitely French) which I really don’t want to give up. Can I blend the two styles…French and Coastal?
Beth says
Congrats on your new place! I believe in decorating to one’s taste and most of us blend a combination of styles within our homes. So yes, I absolutely think you can tastefully blend French and Coastal together successfully.
