    Not going to lie, I like the clean look of the millenial house more. We collectively grew up in clutter, where your grandma would have weird porcelain dolls, or a cabinet to display her fine china.

    My grandpa had a taxidermied pheasant, great horned owl, and a coyote pelt on his living room wall.

    Nothing wrong with all that, it’s just weird as a kid.

    Our parents generation hoarded shit, because their parents lived through the depression. That has its own value but it gets overwhelming.

      Clean? As in sterile like a hospital?

      I think your example is the other extreme, but a little bit of color and a few personal items is a huge improvement over the sanitarium look.

        I dunno, I kinda like wondering if I’m going to be ax-murdered by a Bateman copycat when I walk into a place

        Clean lines and a warm color scheme might be a good middle ground. The old version’s wallpapers were a bit too busy and the new one definitely looks way too sterile.

        But yeah, of I had to choose I’d go with the old one.

      I get that. It can quickly evolve to clutter. I grew up in clutter and couldn’t stand it if that happens in my house. I’m already frustrated that I have a few things on a coffee table at home.

      I think there is a nice balance though, to make something feel more homey without all the dead, dusty pheasants.
