I'm *determined* to understand interior design. Beyond some of the other struggles I want to find a name for the "style" I really love.
I hate throwing things away if they can be fixed. Love how quality repairs look.
I like how objects have a history, a story.
I hate clutter, and seeing too many things at once.
I love both wood veneer AND real wood. But I want the veneer to be old, to look OBVIOUSLY like vernier eg. shiny.The best I can come up with is "Recycled" or "anti-capitalist" LAMO.

Example. I had cabinets in my kitchen from the 60s and the veneer was peeling off. So I removed it all exposing the particle board, which was very dense. I buffed it with rub-on varnish to a dull gloss and it's beautiful and functional and I've never seen anything like it in any other kitchen.
I found all of the drawer pulls in the east river while kayaking. They mostly match.
This is the style.

I'm not against buying things. In fact, I will spend a lot for something nice. I'm excited to spend some money struggle to find anything that works.
I wish I could find someone to help me. I am but a simple math teacher and hardly even understand colors.

@futurebird upcycle / found art decorations? That's how I'd call it

I was being cheeky with "Up-cycled failed minimalism" however part of minimalism, the part I like best is reusing things and not being wasteful.
"Minimalism" is a big word in design that covers a lot of styles and ideas. Possibly because it's not a typical "style" with a color pallet and set of patterns and forms. Or it shouldn't have those things IMO.
Minimalism could mean having multiple patterns, bright colors: because those items are highly functional and repurposed.

Minimalism has gotten a bit of a bad reputation since "achieving the look" can often mean throwing a lot of stuff away and buying new stuff and it can be very wasteful and sort of hostile to the more modest budget.
But I think when that happens some essential point has been missed.

@futurebird I'd love to see this.

Part of me wants to do a bunch of cleaning to make them look super cute, but this is how it really looks under the electric lights.
I think about changing the green. These are 17 years old since I did the doors... The cabinets are more like 70 years old.
