[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in an MCM home, so obviously MCM will never be "out" in our home.  But I don't fill it with obvious MCM furniture (especially the cheap knockoff stuff) because then it looks like your house went to an MCM costume party.  Don't go all out with any one style.

But no that no matter what you do, many things will look dated in about 10-15 years.  Timeless choices are things like a white or beige sofa in transitional style, neutral colored drapes and rugs.  Things that date are woods - they constantly shift trends, and the "in" wood color is almost never the same as anything in the recent past.[b]  After decorating and redecorating my home a couple of time, [/b]I got sick of it and just bought a bunch of stuff from Ikea that I won't feel bad about replacing since it didn't cost that much.

You’re doing it wrong, pp. You were choosing what was contemporary, rather than what you liked best from all time periods. I took the time when I was younger to look at many design styles. I chose English Country. The lamp I bought 20+ years ago is still a favorite because I took the time to discern what I liked. Giving up and buying IKEA that you plan to replace is terrible for the environment. Please don’t advise people to do that. [/quote]
