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?
