I think you'll find yourself in a minority of about one if you think crocheted loo roll covers etc aren't bad taste. Hey, I might be wrong, each to their own and all, but crocheted loo roll covers...:eek: Come on, surely they're as universally considered bad taste as mullets?
I didn't say vintage or classic was the same as frilly (although clutter and loud wallpaper was definitely the Victorian fashion). That was a suggestion for a different, less loaded question giving an alternative to plain and minimalist i.e. equating plain to modern and giving old-fashioned as an alternative.Saving for deposit: Finished! :j

The problem, Breadlinebetty, is that your question is so loaded it it very hard to see it as merely being "interested in the differences in style between North and South"
Also your comments later in the thread about the North, and your response to others have not been the most positive.
Perhaps it would help if you explain what you mean by "frilly" that isn't synonymous with "bad taste"0 -

I was interested in the differences in style between the north and south. Stop trying to twist and turn eveything into YOUR way of thinking.....It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.0
