Midwest Maureen's Profile

I went to a party recently where I admit, the thoughts going through my head after using the bathroom were um, critical. There were also grease-encrusted knick-knacks in the kitchen and at best, a wafer-thin veneer of cleanliness and a massive overlay of clutter elsewhere. Well, of course days later, when a group of people who had attended were together, the conversation turned - first gently, then with a vengeance, to the house and homeowner. The dirt in that house was nothing compared to how dirty I felt during that conversation. Seriously people I felt ashamed. How foolish of that person to believe that his kindness and hospitality were more important than the state of his house. Ugh.

Clean is the ultimate luxury. But working full time, having a house full of kids, it's tough. This is more class-bashing than style critique.

Having said that, I am coming to truly hate hate hate Scandinavian or Modern when it is slavishly adhered to. God. Oh, and two-toned walls. Haaate.

I liked the before better but it looks lovely now.
