It's time to ask ourselves -
Why would you ever think that these "trendy"
designs are appealing or even tolerable?
Seriously? Blood splatter decals?
This chair might be appropriate for an
anatomy class but hardly for a living room.

We're going to be very generous and say that this
chair might be okay in a nursery, but, it's probably not:
With an eye on fashion, Australian artist Fiona Roberts pushes the edge
in upholstery taste with this rather
eye-popping velvet fabric. Actually,
eye can see this being very popular on

I think this photo was taken from inside
the shower but, truly, I'm only guessing.

There are some nice elements of this bathroom
vanity but I just can't get beyond the eagle.
My first thought was, "What a neatly stacked pallet of flour sacks."

After viewing these photos I'm feeling a lot
more confident about my own style, aren't you?!
Not sure I have a style but I sure have more taste than these photos lol. x
ReplyDeleteMost of them are pretty gruesome - still can't wrap my head around the blood platter decals. The owners must be watching too much CSI!
DeleteOh dear! I suppose most of these shots could have been put into a Halloween house! The one with the mirror and the table would look more at home in a urinal! I'll stick to my sweet shabby chic. Thanks for sharing these. Chel x
ReplyDeleteThose decals are indeed dreadful.
ReplyDeleteI am not a very trendy person... all I can say is hum.
ReplyDeleteI'm not very adventurous in my decorating style, some might say I'm pretty boring but it's what I like. Definitely would throw everyone for a loop if I suddenly put something like these into our home. Wow! The thought of it ;)
ReplyDeleteJust stopping by to thank you for following my blog. I have done the same here as I've enjoyed my visit very much and would like to come back.
really fun and clever post..made me laugh and keep on looking!
ReplyDeleteDon't you wonder where these designers get their ideas from? And who the heck would want them in their house?
