Pike, baby..... Please, tell her to hold off on the columns & red velvet couches! In all honesty, I'd be extremely frightened to walk into a young man's home & feel like I just stepped into a Victoria's Secret boutique.
Your ideas sound much more like the "typical" college guy's decorative strategy (once they've moved past the alcohol paraphenalia stage). However, if you'd still like to have an ultra-classy pad, consider telling your mother that while you're really excited about having her help you out, that your taste runs more along the lines of a gentleman's library, study or billiard room. Think leather/nailhead couches & chairs, lots of dark, substantial wooden pieces, continue the marble theme with marble-topped tables, lots of bookshelves......... just an example.
