I have a harder time with people that rip out existing period features and add modern trends or awful IKEA disposable furniture.Jemjoophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04422932366201606648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149254516032374077.post-20026150175437850812010-10-30T13:19:20.488-03:002010-10-30T13:19:20.488-03:00Interesting: I got that copy of CL and set it asid...Interesting: I got that copy of CL and set it aside without this story even making an impression on me. I'm tired of CL and even tired of Early American Life and I'm speaking from the vantage point of an historical purist who lives in a mainly unrestored 1820's house. <br />What never ceases to amaze me is that young families with kids to clothe house and feed could possibly have the disposable income to follow current decorating trends - the french feed sack pillows - the bright pink wellies, the french seating furniture and on and on.<br />I must admit to having painted my master bedroom wooden floor a wild shade of pink as a newlywed. My most recent floor colour has been grey!

It looks like the structure is all there and it's just paint that makes it so bright.

When I saw that family, I thought, 'Aren't they the cutest?' ... and then I read your horror at their yellow treatment.<br /><br />The yellow does smart the eyes a bit ... but you know what?

If it's just paint they used to acheive their quirky artsy look, then that is okay. It would be absolutely horrible to me if they removed any of the original features. I couldn't live with it but I love when people make their homes their own. I think historical properties should remain as accurate as possible. <br />I couldn't imagine living with all the bright yellow!<br />Fun post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149254516032374077.post-19742291423027062832010-10-26T21:42:11.267-03:002010-10-26T21:42:11.267-03:00I wouldn't like it myself, but have no problem...I wouldn't like it myself, but have no problem with paint changes, they're so easily changed back...I don't like it though, when a period house is structurally changed into a modern house~ why not just buy a modern house?Linda @ Itsy Bits And Pieceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12090973681675943970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149254516032374077.post-22801729451352823432010-10-26T21:34:04.298-03:002010-10-26T21:34:04.298-03:00You may be shocked to hear that I love it.

Is a twist on ochre...yes, perhaps a little bit of a French's mustard twist but they've stayed true with the basics, the windows, the paneling, painted floors...why not have a little fun with the paint color. Could I live with it? No way!

It seems they are not hitting my ideal of country living any longer with the type of "Country" decorating they are featuring.
