When people give their honest opinions ?

Question

I just moved into a new place and am buying furniture. I might buy a brown leather coach from a co worker. I'm going to look at it today. I showed a friend of mine and she's like, i like it, but personally i dont think it's your style and you shuld just buy something brand new. i have to buy LOTS of it and i cant buy everything brand new. Plus a brown leather couch is fairly classic..i'm not sure how that isnt my style. I dont get why my friend would say that...just seems rude?

Answer 1

I'm wondering whether you should pay any attention at all to the comment because if YOU aren't even sure how that couch ISN'T your style, how could she???  You know what you like, you know what you can spend better than she.

Answer 2

MMMMMM MAY BE SHE DOES NOT THINK THAT STYLE FITS YOU BUT PERSONALLY WHAT DOES SHE CARE IF YOU END UP BUYING IT IS BECAUSE YOU LIKE IT. MAYBE SHE WANTS SOMETHIG LIKE THAT AND THATS WHY SHE IS TRYING TO PUSH YOU AWAY FROM IT. OR GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE I HAVE A FRINED SHE IS VERY UNIQUE AND SHE THINKS EXPENSIVE NEW IS BETTER WELL I HAVE FOUND GRAT BARGAINS AND THEY HAVE WORKED WELL.

BUT ANYWAYS DONT WORRY ABOUT IT IF YOU LIKE IT ITS YOUR PROBLE! ^_^

You know the old saying, "Everybody's a critic!" Don't worry about it. She may be jealous of your new place and all the fun decorating you're doing. Besides, people are always extravagant in their opinions when it's not their money!!

You're right about the couch, too. Brown leather is like a neutral that you can use with almost any style of decor. Just make sure it doesn't have any stains or tears and you're good to go with it.

Have fun decorating your new place!! : )

Your friend could have commented like that for several reasons, some such as envy.  You need to buy what you feel would be nice to you and fit what you want not what others think.  Who's going to be looking at it the most, her or you?  Also look into yard sales, thrift shops, etc. cause you can get some really, really nice things, including brand new for next to nothing.  Make it a game.  See how designer you can get at the lowest prices.  By the way, congrats on your new place and have fun decorating!!!!
