[quote=Anonymous]I can appreciate many different styles (perhaps a shocking concept for someone posting on DCUM). They all have their place and MCM homes around here are a breath of fresh air around here with the plethora of colonials and palatial homes with super ornate designs.

The one big "problem" with MCM homes around here is their openness leads to poorer insulating properties vs other homes, but there are certainly ways to address this if you address it in the building phase (most MCM's around here are quite old and harder to address this later on). This is why they're less popular around here and colder climates. MCM's design ethos is all about creating openness, clean lines, lots of light, blending the inside w/ outside.

If you don't like the MCM style that's fine, but as someone else pointed out, you need to separate the "junk" midcentury from the rest. Throwing MCM furniture in a regular colonial home doesn't look right for many reasons. It has to fit with the rest of the house which isn't always easy to accomplish.[/quote]
