Since I watch too much HGTV (all the home buying/fixing/decorating shows), I immediately thought of old in terms of vintage, antique, and retro styles. I also like old and new stuff, but I vastly prefer it to look comfortable and homey, like it's been around a while. If and when I'm ever able to decorate my older home (50's), I would like it to resemble an arts and crafts bungalow. I am certain, also, that things are now made to deteriorate. I know that when I replace the original grey patterned formica in the kitchen, I won't find another laminate that will last as long and look as good for 60 years.
