<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bluemoon, post: 154314, member: 1296&quot;]Speaking of modern.. I have to admit, I dislike certain types of homes:&nbsp; some of them have combined antique furniture with 70s furniture and mid-century design and knick-knacks and stuff from the 1920s all the way to 2010s and everything in between... and it all is this oppressive chaos of tackiness where nothing is cohesive or fresh or timeless.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I mean is, for example:</p><p><br /></p><p>A shiny 80&#039;s fake brass candlestick with colourful taper candles on a brown doily... polished off with a bunch of plasticy fake flowers.. and it&#039;s all sitting on a chrome smoke-glass top table... dreadful. Next to it is a country pine dresser from the 19th century but someone ruined it by stripping the paint / stain off in the 80s. It is lacquered with that slightly sticky stuff school desks used to be coated with and instead of the brass hardware..... it has... (hold my hand now) round wooden knobs from the early 90s!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>No offence. Just showing my distaste for artificial-feeling kitschy homes that are SO not timeless. That&#039;s only my opinion, though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
