Email him! What have you got to lose? Tell him Lisa with the bike from down the street sent you.

JuJu- I think our backgrounds shape the way we see things and what styles appeal to us. When you say "the more mature decorativeness of the past", I think of Victorian ornately patterned stuff influenced by a mix of the Oriental/Persian/Gothic craze from the turn of the century. To me that stuff is claustrophobic and frantic rather than mature, and i kind of like the "toy-like" simplicity of some 1950's and some kitchy modern things. So there you go- everyone likes different styles!
