Design trends that are so 'last year"
Home trends of past decades that make today's buyers cringe...
Popcorn ceilings - only at the movies with butter
Tile counter tops - no one wants to clean grout
Shag carpet, animal print rugs - Not 'groovy' any more
Wood paneling - dated and dreary
Linoleum floors - hardwood, engineered wood or tile, please
Wallpaper borders
Tuscan kitchens
Matching window valances, vertical blinds, matching wallpaper and carpets
Hollywood mirror lights, exposed light bulb
Silk plants, fake fruit - think dust collectors
Floral everything, lace, chintz, dusty pastels
Curio cabinets, ceiling mirrors, conversation pits...On my!
Word art, monograms, oversized leather sofas, futons, nautical
The list goes on and on, but I chose the past trends that made me cringe the most.
