[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]English Country in the US. Favored style of Boomers [/quote]
I would so take this style over the "country kitch" style our Boomer parents are into.  I guess the good news is that we can easily avoid inheriting a bunch more crap for our house as I have no space for milk jugs, butter churns, rag dolls, or rooster-themed anything.[/quote]

Have you seen real English Country decor though? If there's too much of anything, it's clutter.

Ugh, I cringe just looking at all the clutter. There's no way to keep all that stuff clean. I love the Nancy Meyers look, but not that.[/quote]

Yeah I am surprised by all the people equating Nancy Meyers = Boomer 90s and English country house clutter.

Her sets are carefully curated and edited. It's not just a thrown together mish mash of junk. And no hiderous roosters or signs that say "eat"[/quote]

I mean one man's junk...look i don't think anyone here is putting "eat" signs in the same category we are talking about. That's joanna gaines farmhouse, not what we are discussing at all I would think. As for Nancy Meyers houses, of course Somethings Gotta Give is the most high end and curated. The Vermont house in baby boom had some homey clutter in the kitchen. These houses range in how cluttered they are, I love rita konig, she does full on English Country, the real deal. It's very full but I wouldn't dare call it junk. She has a lot, but it's all interesting and cozy. You can do this style lighter, the architects cited above had some pretty streamlined designs. Some people like to live with a lot of stuff, if displayed well it often works even if I woukd not do it that way. I love parties at houses like that, I have several friends with a lot of collections, they all are fun hosts. Always an abundance of food and booze too 😋 They are consistent.[/quote]
