Answers:
I love the plastic composite ceiling medallions. You can paint them to resemble gold leaf, rust, patina, copper or stone. They really make a focal point out of ordinary ceiling fans and they are inexpensive. I'm also a big fan of wrought iron, particularly when it is used in mixed media applications like with wood or wicker. You cannot go wrong with natural stones. I love the variations in marble, limestone, granite and travertine. They are classic.
In terms of manufacturers, I go for quality like Thomasville, Drexel Heritage, Hooker and even Restoration Hardware. There is a great catalog called Home Decorators which has unique, yet inexpensive, quality items.

Arts and Crafts style furniture and Stickley furniture. Also the Shaker style is a favorite of mine. Oaks and maples and cherry are great looking woods for any type of furniture or decor. And I love clocks. Got 'em everywhere and I'm still late ;-)

I love the paper illusion wallpaper. You just tear it, dip it in water, and stick it on the wall. You can"t mess it up. It also comes in different colors.
Anything vintage, or one of a kind, that doesn't scream "I came from Ikea, or Target" etc. Check out trendier consignment shops -- I spend way too much time there. You can get such great deals, and some things don't even need any fixing up. (Some do, but that can be fun, too!)
