Making your house classy: It's fun again!

There are a couple of sure-fire ways to turn your house from average to classy: lion statues (best to have a pair of them on either side of a door) or marble columns.

The lion option is nice because it's both sophisticated and mildly intimidating. But I kind of prefer the marble column route because it reminds me of living in the Parthenon (which, incidentally, I once built out of noodles for a school project).

It's important that the columns aren't actually providing any structural support - that makes them seem to utilitarian. Bedrooms and bathrooms are a great place for them, or you can wow the neighbors with a column or two in your front yard!
