I already responded but this is a really big one. Homes used to be COZY!!!! My parents over the years have subscribed to the awful “magazine” style interior decorating like you see everywhere. They pulled out so many rugs and all the wallpaper. Fortunately they have a decent sense of decoration, our walls are covered in interesting things. Despite that the whole house used to be a lot more comfortable.. new style couches are awful and made to be looked at.. we have an island with awkward bar chairs that are uncomfortable and impractical.. I think this is an issue with new furniture in general, nothing is made for comfort. I miss having rug floors in my bedroom to lay on.. hardwood or tile is just not it.

Lately I'm loving humble, homey vibes. Lots of pictures of small but thoughtfully designed kitchens with warm maple cabinets and yellow window curtains. Lots of crochet and hand-knit blankets and tapestries. Green couches and lots of plants. Gallery walls filling every inch with art and trinkets. Lots of cabins and A-frames. Lots of old bathrooms with fun colorful tiles. Overall vibes are that we're working with what we have and making it both look beautiful and feel like a hug.

Need I say more? When homes had personality and colour. When homes had patios and carefully thought out layouts. When intricate designs were a necessity and not a luxury or dubbed ‘quirky’.
When did we deem modern, bland, four-walled homes the superior options?
Bring back bay windows and grand porches, window art and unique doors, wrap-around patios and exterior and interior texture, fun wallpaper and fun furniture.
BRING BACK THE FLAVOUR

big Wood (tm) really tried to brainwash me into thinking hardwood flooring was the superior choice… thankfully my parents were too lazy and this never happened (although the stains on the pile say the opposite lol) thankful for the soft, plush padding that i meet with my feet when i step onto it… the based choice i’d say…

My god everything is experienced better this way. Stop looking at guides, walkthroughs, endings explained (my least favorite), even the blurbs on the back. Such a rare opportunity in this time to go into something without knowing anything about it, yet so rewarding. To be pleasantly surprised or blown away, to have no idea what’s happening, to find that you really didn’t like it, an opinion formed on your own.. nothing is more valuable
