Like Totally '80s |
I've been speakme a loads lately about horrific tendencies. Bad traits in interiors that is. A reporter asked me to rattle off a few examples of what I don't forget to be awful developments final week and I rattled off approximately 10 things with out absolutely considering it.

Timelessness is a myth. It is impossible to create a room or a home today and have it be anything but right now. You can do a revival.

The problem's now not fake finishes, it is faux finishes without good judgment, context or ability.
