This can include choosing the paint for the walls, choosing the kooky furniture within the property, choosing all your appliances, accessories, wallpapers, carpets, picture frames and even lightbulbs. It can be as plain or extravagant as you want. It can be traditional, contemporary, or even a little crazy. It is up to you. 

However when it comes to the exterior of your house, you don’t have quite as much leeway. There are still ways of allowing your interior design to peek through into the exterior of your house, you just have to be a little more subtle about it.

'''Entwined Snakes''' The symbol for infinity is often a snake eating its own tail, but what about two snakes entwined?
