At my age, I eschew trends. White furniture is not my thing though. Annoys the dickens out of me when I see a great piece of furniture for sale -painted shabby chic white. I love blue and white too but it is too much of a commitment (NO, Dear. you can't bring that in here, it doesn't match............) So floral is my choice. And green is the neutral, it goes with every flower. I like feet on my glass bowls of every colour and Queen Anne legs on my furniture, I like looking at curvey furniture. Lace, Chandeliers, stained glass windows tarnished silver, mismatched china, wrought iron beds, and cast iron bathtubs. I detest mid century modern but am glad it is trendy because French provincial becomes more affordable.

I've noticed that as we baby boomers, who followed all the trends we could in high school, are now following them in middle age...whether we like them deep in our hearts or not. And the younger generations are too. But I expect that more with youth. I live with hubs and adult son so don't know how much cabbage rose I can get away with, but I'm sure gonna try. :-) JanetAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-127417515640281002012-05-23T10:57:29.489-04:002012-05-23T10:57:29.489-04:00Yay...more, more....and I loved the sign off!!

Just had to make that clear. I went to buy fabric for some curtains and asked for cabbage roses and checks. The sales woman told me I was ten years too late. I showed her, I found cabbage roses and checks and made my curtains...and love them. MY DIL can have her up to date simple patterns (which are also pretty) but give me the frills and roses any time and I feel right at home! <br />Love your blog!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12879692999116803961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-30956488372483194792012-05-23T06:43:44.992-04:002012-05-23T06:43:44.992-04:00YES...YES...YES......Cabbage roses RULE!!!!!!!!
