I live in a 1850 rowhouse and it is channeling some midcentury (among other current design trends). My mother lives in an updated 1980s suburban ranch, and it's channeling modernism with some midcentury thrown in.  I used to live in a beach condo, and it was channeling modern with midcentury pieces thrown in. I also used to live in a 1920 Spanish style home in Florida, and the midcentury worked there too. I have a good eye for design - when done correctly, this look works well almost anywhere.

Frankly, the PB look also looked nice almost anywhere back in 2004. I liked it then. But just like my fashion style has naturally evolved and moved on past what I was wearing in 2001 (skinny blank pants! capris! chunky wedge shoes! red and black everything!) so has home design.  Yes, I still have some classics in my closet from back then, just like I still have some classics in my house that stay forever. But the overall look has moved past that look. [/quote]
