[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother completely redecorated in the 80s. Every house and vacation condo she owned was given the same treatment. Custom upholstery with floral patterns to match the custom drapes, large floral wall paper, green carpet or white carpet, pickled oak cabinets that looked pinkish with dark green marble counters, fancy window treatments, dark wood Georgian court Ethan Allan furniture everywhere, curio cabinets mixing random crystal, figurines and actually valuable glass, a collection of Limoges, collection of crystal bells (why?), grandfather clocks, a bar area stocked with more crystal ….in spaces for my father it was ducks everywhere, wooden decoy ducks, little ducks on the wallpaper, big leather couches and big leather chairs, pine green carpet.  To me this is the 80s.

The Tuscan stuff was more in the early 90s so younger boomers. I hate this too. No one thinks you are in Tuscany and the dark yellowish beiges just look like aged paper. [/quote]

This is an excellent description of WASP decorating in the 1980s. Takes me back![/quote]

This was spot on! i chuckled as this is the way my parents decorated when they remodeled in the early 90s.[/quote]
