2. I get flashbacks now.

I see modern op-art type fabric prints, the dreaded colors of burnt orange, avocado green and harvest gold.

When I moved into my house, which has been the family home for several generations, it looked like a 1970s nursing home, since my grandparents had lived in it until the 1980s.

My grandmother had ugly valances and draw curtains across beautiful windows that were 2 feet wide by six feet high. Rolled glass. She made it look like a cave. She also had wall to wall carpet. We ripped out the curtains and put white miniblinds in the windows. We ripped up the wall to wall carpet and found beautiful hardwood floors that were in excellent shape. And this place was built in the 1880s!!
