Carson: Your apartment is going to look
fabulous once I’m finished
decorating it!
Brooke: I really appreciate you taking the time
to help me choose some furniture, but I’d really
like to keep the look conservative
and traditional.
Carson: Nonsense! You have a fabulous new
apartment and I’m going to help you make
the most of it. Look at that
oval mirror. It’ll look fantastic in
your hall.
Brooke: That mirror is gigantic! I
don’t think I want anything that size. How
about this rectangular one?
Carson: That’s too puny for that
space. Oh, look at this triangular
bookcase. It would really
complement the fireplace in the den.
Brooke: I don’t think that bookcase is very
functional. The shelves are so
narrow and it’s an odd
shape. It really looks nice, but I need furniture
that I can actually use. I like this one better.
Carson: How boring! You need something that
makes a statement. How about this
chair? It’s fabulous!
Brooke: It’s a humongous
circle on the floor with a
cushion on top of it. I don’t think
anyone would ever sit on it.
Carson: Yes, but in design, you have to
consider form before function.
Brooke: That’s where we differ. I
actually have to live in this apartment,
remember?
