The limit between beauty and kitsch is subjective!.!.!.
It even differs in me, from time to time!. What seems beautiful today, might look awful to me, some time later!.!.!.!.

My aesthetic principle is something like this:
"Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful
We must carry it with us or we will find it not"
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

I can usually decide where to put the limit between beauty and kitsch, but it really doesn't matter!. My wife makes the determination where that line goes (generally not where I'd put it)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have what I think is a very good taste in my decorating style, I'm very picky!. For instance, I collect faeries and elephants but that doesn't mean I'll just go and buy whatever I see!. I'm very selective and like to create just the right mood!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
