[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was never a fan of the super-spare modern look, but I never loved very traditional furniture, ether, probably because I associated it too much with the home I grew up in.

I love the [b]Art Deco mirrors[/b] in that photo and the rug. I also feel emotionally pulled toward the fringy cloth covered table. The photo, itself, is well-composed and appealing.

Although the light fixture would cause a second glance from me in the store, I find it appealing as well. I think it's because it's such a contrast to the new trend, where all they look like spiders hanging from the ceiling with their long, metallic arms and bare-bulbed ends.[/quote]

I like the mirrors too although I think they are more "80s art deco revival" than actual art deco. I also like the side tables...classic look that's not minimalist, not effing "farmhouse chic," and not obviously particle board. I'm OK with the vases (I like the colors), but wouldn't know what to do with them in my own house. All I can think of is my 5-year-old hiding random things in them and my 2-year-old trying to destroy them. So I think I'm kind of in the middle with this design aesthetic. Better than farmhouse crap, better than Scandinavian minimalism, slight improvement over Grandma's house but veers a little close for my comfort. I think I'm Boho-practical-classic with a touch of art deco love and a dollop of throwback nostalgia.
