Invest in one good antique to anchor a room.
Always have an extra case of champagne on hand.
Read Remembrance of Things Past for inspiration—but only 13 pages a night, so you don't get burned out.

Close your eyes for 30 seconds at least once during the day, to be quiet and grateful.
Buy your favorite books in hardback—that's one thing you'll never grow tired of.

Don't throw away old clothes, furniture or knickknacks—drop them at Goodwill.
Monogram as much as you can! It shows you care.
