it's the worst when 19th-century or earlier antique wooden furniture was actually painted white originally

damnit I came out to have a good time being a hater of McKartlynnes everywhere who go ham with the chalk paint and call it Shabby ChicTM and I'm honestly feeling so attacked right now

Not much has changed, we still adore mid century modern design.

I was really struggling to find some dining chairs that fit my style, so I designed these Beacon Chairs to add some freaky fanciness.

One of the only reasons I’m looking forward to being an adult is being able to like decorate my house or whatever like I do in animal crossing

Blue-and-white enamel cookware, supplemented by an earthenware pitcher and bowl, fill and top a primitive corner cupboard - even spill over onto nearby walls. Any kitchen with wall space to spare can be enlivened by a display of collectibles related to cooking.

i try to be positive of people but those people who pick up antique furniture that’s a little ugly but also gorgeous and strip it of it’s originality might be the people i hate most in the world and when I actually own a house in my name i’m going to fill it with ugly and dated furniture and anyone who says it’s outdated, gold star, that’s the point karen i don’t need decor advice when you’re home is worse than beige it’s fucking white grey concrete and steel genuinely shut the fuck up you have the personality of a goddamn dragon fruit you look all fun on the outside and interesting but inside you’re nothing but tasteless white mush

#god this is me#I will definitely be able to afford upkeep and mortgage and also antiques

Antiques may be easier than you think. depending on where you live, FB Marketplace can be a gold mine

I have an absolutely gorgeous Victorian Renaissance Revival bed- decorative side-pieces, burled walnut inlay, ornamental urns...it's insane -that came out of a very nice lady's basement for $100. lovingly tended. hardly needed dusting, even, when I picked it up

for that money, I could barely afford most IKEA bedframes. it's hell to move, but I'm living now, not in my imagined future Victorian house. I deserve nice things now, when I can get them. and so do you.

a lot of people have "dusty old family junk" that they're trying to get rid of. transporting can be an issue, like I said, and take care with anything soft/upholstered- you'll want to check that for bedbugs or moth eggs

but like. rent a UHaul and reactivate your FB account; there's a universe of old things on there that need homes, often for killer prices. antique furniture is, I feel, the LEAST difficult part of Old House Dreams. partially because you don't need to wait for an old house to have it!

[applies for an even somewhat decently-paid job for which I am amply qualified, though the institution has rejected me for multiple other jobs in the past]

well time to look at Victorian houses within commuter rail distance on Zillow since I will clearly be able to pay a mortgage and restore that Completely Gutted No Appliances kitchen very soon!!!!
