[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clean and clutter free.

And art on the walls rather than photographs of the couple everywhere (a definite sign of low class). [/quote]

Clean and clutter free isn’t associated with class from what I’ve seen. Plenty of cluttered upper class homes. The clutter is more likely to be piles of books and dusty silver though.[/quote]

Upper class homes are clean but tend to be decorated with a classic, layered look rather than a modern, bare bones aesthetic. Think: antiques, armoires, bookshelves, ottomans, etc.[/quote]

This view is about a decade or two old.  I have tons of antiques, silver, etc.  I’ll say I’m giving all this away - literally.  It’s so much effort to sell it.  I have a 17th century French armoire in mahogany that I tried to sell for 2 years.  Then I debated donating to Salvation Army (because they pick up) and finally I found someone to take it off my hands - college kid with no furniture.  We just need to arrange the pick up time.  I’ve also gotten rid of all my books where there is a digital version.  I kept vintage clothing and family jewelry. Silver is going to my sister; I don’t entertain (often) with my lifestyle.  I will also keep some furniture- chesterfields, ottomans, a table, a hand crafted chess table from India.  I’m slimming all this material crap down drastically.  It just doesn’t have the same value or allure it did in the past.  It also weighs us down because we keep 3 homes and travel. I want next to nothing at each place - less to worry about.

I maintain that class is about how one treats others, their manners, mannerisms, and upbringing.  [/quote]
