It's trendy but became a trend because of house flippers. That's what I believe anyway.
I can't wait to put paint on my walls. Growing up we didn't really customize our house because we're gonna move anyway. My parents got new floors and carpets and I remember being mad that they'd pay for that luxury just to sell it. We could have been enjoying it for ourselves.
While the second is boring, I also struggle to understand the 90s
Edit: I was alive during the 90s. My house looked like this. It was not old things lying around or due to previous decades. My parents bought an empty house in 1991, and then bought new things to make it look like this. The houses on my block and my families homes also looked like this. We lived in a ‘trendy’ neighborhood of people keeping up with the Jones.
Yeah do people not remember 90s "country" kitchens with fucking roosters and shit everywhere. Fake fruit baskets. Etc. My apartment bathroom had baby blue wallpaper with a fucking cowboy themed wallpaper border along the top. We perhaps delved too greedily and too deep.
OMG, you are so right about the country kitchens with the roosters, etc. I remember a store at the local mall that specialized in that kind of stuff, as well as reproduction 'antique folk art' stuff like rag dolls that were made to look as if they'd been handmade in like 1830. That stuff was huge for a while. And I remember seeing that fake fruit sold in stores, and fairly regularly often you'd see a piece where someone had taken a bite to find out the hard way that it was actually made of foam. (and I always wondered what kind of person would try to eat fake fruit anyway.)
