Don't Forget the Tchotskes!

Ladies and Gentlemen, the retro home EMBRACES clutter. Peruse those stark, modern, "Dwell" magazines if you must, but do try to GET OVER IT. After all, by "embracing" retro style, you can potentially save thousands of dollars on an unnecessary renovation. So with that extra cash at your disposal, why not begin a collection? Whether you call them tchotskes, knick-knacks, bric-a-brac, collectibles, or kitch, collecting these "objects" can give your pad a vibrant punch of color, create interesting, humorous conversation pieces and most importantly, provide YOU, dear reader, with a pastime that can bring immense pleasure and enjoyment.
