" 1) Excessive frills. Too much of a good thing goes bad. &amp;quot;Don&amp;#039;t paint your whole house pink and put ruffles on everything,&amp;quot; says designer Nicole Fuller. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s not sexy.&amp;quot; 2) Silk flower arrangements. &amp;quot;Silk flower arrangements say &amp;#039;I have given up and there is no hope for me&amp;#039;,&amp;quot; says designer Susan Ferrier. 3) Collage type photo frames. You know, that one that was filled with photos of you and your besties during your college years. &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;re setting your date up to ask you &amp;quot;who&amp;#039;s the pretty blonde&amp;quot; and it&amp;#039;s not you,&amp;quot; warns designer Vance Burke. 4) Stuffed animals (especially on your bed). &amp;quot;Make room for human love,&amp;quot; says designer Jon Call of Mr. Call Designs. &amp;quot;We all have memories of our favorite stuffed animal but this is where they should stay... in our memories,&amp;quot; says designer Ryan White. 5) Inspirational quotes. It&amp;#039;s self-help at a glance. &amp;quot;Inspirational quotes of any kind, especially in needlepoint, read as a cry for help under every circumstance,&amp;quot; says Ferrier. 6) Cheap bedding. Quality bedding will make you feel like a queen! &amp;quot;A refined woman should have nice linens,&amp;quot; says designer MA Allen. 7) Cosmetics and personal products spilling out everywhere. Yes, they are a must-have, but &amp;quot; people don&amp;#039;t need to know how much work it is to be as beautiful as you are,&amp;quot; says Call. &amp;quot; A little discreteness goes along way,&amp;quot; adds White. &amp;quot;Find a spot in the bathroom that is out of eye sight out of mind.&amp;quot; 8) Doll collections from childhood. &amp;quot;Collectors appear to be trapped in a child phase,&amp;quot; says Burke. &amp;quot;[This] can be creepy and scare off men,&amp;quot; adds Allen. 9) Family photos by the bed. Not sexy. 10) An abundance of pictures of your pet. Yes, they&amp;#039;re probably cuter than your family and friends but a collage wall devoted to your four-legged friend is &amp;quot;never a good look,&amp;quot; says designer Nicole Fuller 11) Cat trees/homes. &amp;quot;Ladies, I know cats can be very cute and cuddly but seeing a carpeted cat home when you first walk in really doesn&amp;#039;t set the right tone,&amp;quot; says designer Ryan White. &amp;quot;Everyone fears the crazy, single cat lady,&amp;quot; adds Allen. 12) Sorority memorabilia. It has had its day. 13) Too much mismatched furniture. &amp;quot;Too many different things get confusing,&amp;quot; says designer Nicole Fuller. &amp;quot;A few different pieces shows interest.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
