  • "Things that make your home look DATED!"

    @IngaLovinde @Bumblefish

    I love the way it's the same tap for the sink and the tub. And the shape of the sink is really cool.

    I think adding tiles to the side of the tub and giving the walls a deep clean so it's all those square white ones would make it look very cohesive. Whatever is going on with the side of the tub now I don't like.

    There is probably a good reason why the washing machine is in the bathroom. But I wish it were towel storage instead.

    Obsessed with that faucet.

    If you hide those white cables you could put this in a magazine. Looks amazing.

    There is nothing wrong with them.

    They just look like they are from 20 years ago.

    So my suggestion is that we recognize what is "dated" but not take it as a negative. There is something about the way that "dated design" can catch your eye, make you cringe a little and say "wow we don't do *that* anymore" that's really exciting. Thrilling.

    Why not lean into it if the space is functional and enjoyable? That's a bold style choice.

    In a few moments you'll have people wanting to copy you because the durable and functional "dated" design is the mother of "vintage" and "classic"

    The only way to make those bathrooms not look "dated" is to totally rip them out and start over.

    And if they are functional enjoyable spaces to me that's criminally wasteful.

    Here are the spaces that have been deemed to be in style (for the moment) I love these too.

    What I love is the hot running water, the big tub and the interesting durable materials.

    What is much worse to me than something looking "dated" is when you can tell that someone is desperate trying to hide or work around the out of style elements in a space to make them fit with the new trends. Then they end up failing twice.

    Embrace the old and ugly.

    Here are some bathrooms that are "dated from the 90s"

    Can you feel the ick? But it's kind of amazing, right? It would be a shame to try to make these spaces look like the hyper smooth, "mall zen" that's "in" right now.

    "Things that make your home look DATED!"

    The implication of these kinds of observations about interior design is that looking dated is bad and you ought to do something about it.

    I would like to totally question the premise. What does it mean when something looks "dated" it reminds you of the past? It recalls a trendy thing that has been forgotten. It's "out."

    There is power in this, and fashion and design is all about things that give us powerful emotions. #interiorDesigns

    When you see an item that has been repaired you see how someone loved it. Sometimes love can leave scars... but it's still love.

    Just because something is true doesn't mean you need to bring it up all the time. OK?

    Considering a new wardrobe would cost like 1500€ probably if it were made of wood and hand crafted yes?

    I'm just a little grouchy about some people who talk about "recycling" but they are just getting expensive antiques then bragging about it like they raided a dumpster.

    I have a hang up about buying new things. A kind of desperation to avoid it. Not totally rational, if you can buy something that works it can save a lot of time. (continues sawing down the legs of the table to make it into a coffee table.)

    "They don't build them like they used to. Vintage furniture has more quality materials and better construction."

    Or... maybe the furniture that is still around and not in a landfill is higher quality. There were a lot of cheap disposable trends in the 70s and 80s and those items are all in landfills now.

    I think about the beanbag chairs slowly compressing into strange new minerals in landfills. Will a confused fossil hunter some day wonder at these "organisms" ?

    The thrift shop near where I live sells things like couches and huge chest of drawers for $20-$40.

    These are often painted some strange color and very beat up. But they are functional.

    For it to be "thrifting" it needs to not be a part of the same market pressures that apply to new furniture?

    Consider most of the furniture in your home. Did you buy most of it new, or at near full price for older restored items? Did you find it? Thrift it? Get it from friends and family?

    Bought New: This includes vintage or restored items sold at prices comparable to new.

    Found/Gifted: You did not pay for the furniture.

    Made: You made it, possibly by repurposing thrift-ed items or gifts.

    Thrift-ed: Items were purchased but at a discount of over 80 percent.

    Pick all that apply:

    We don't 'kill' the wollmäuse! How could you suggest such a horrible thing. I am going to "re-home" each and every wollmäus. We have a nice farm, it's in upstate New York, and there is a big barn there filled with beds and stoves and many wonderful places for the little wollmäuse to frolic and play.

    edit: apologies for managing to butcher the German language in an English language post somehow.

    Is Cricut the company that wouldn't let people print without logging in online?

    hmmm maybe I don't really want a "consumer solution" as those seem to always mean giving up a shard of my soul.

    So. Plotters.

    You know, those printers that hold a pen and follow an SVG?

    Ten years ago I tried to convert a DIY laser cutting rig to do plotting and it didn't work out. I then tried one of the ones that draws on the wall with string and never could get it correctly tuned.

    After all this time is there a lazy consumer solution? Does anyone use a plotter on the regular and love it?
