I have memories (I won't say fond memories) of taking a toothpick and scraping the gunk out of the grout lines in my mom's kitchen. Never again. Back when tiles were first used for kitchen countertops, they were better than the alternative - wood. But we have so many better materials now ... tiles no longer make sense. I suppose if you're a clean freak who doesn't use a kitchen heavily, it would be ok. But for a serious (or messy) cook, or a family with kids ... choose something else and put the tiles on the backsplash.

The worst thing about color trends is the over saturation in the market. In the late 80s into the 90s, everything from bath towels to coffee mugs to carpet and lamps was either dusty rose, or it’s awful “country blue” counterpart. Same with clothing; when one can’t wear mustard or army green, it can be a year or two without clothes shopping. Once a color is the “it” color, that’s all that can be found.

As a girl child my mother was always trying to get me into pastels, especially pinks. Then we had the 80's and the rose everything. I've always hated pink. ... until this year - lol. I've noticed that my favorite colours seem to come and go from year to year. One year I painted my living room burnt orange. Another time it was sage green. In clothing I've always been a big fan of black (I am GenX after all). Strangely enough this year I've got a real thing for pink but knowing myself I also know that this will fade and/or change. For this reason I'm not making any really big, financial investments in the pink palooza. I bought a few pieces of clothing, I want to wallpaper one of my bedroom walls in silver/grey with pink accent flowers, I have some really pale pink sheets, etc. but for the most part my decor is neutral or grey. The pink can go away when I'm tired of it. Which I'm sure I will be. Now, that all being said, it's kinda novel for me to be into a girly colour. First time for everything even at 51 yrs. Who knows Nick, maybe in the future you'll find yourself drawn to one of those three traumatizing colours and be colored surprised 😏

They are hugely functional and they are great for doing a lot . Canning is a breeze with tile since you don’t have to worry about the heat on your countertops.

Thank you! I hate dusty rose with a passion! I hesitate to use pink of any shade in interiors. As a contract designer I refuse to use pink in women's public bathrooms, so over that. I associate dusty rose with the cliche early 90s bad design. This was back when you only could buy off the shelf interior products based on the few colors that current trends dictated. Dusty rose/mauve was out around the same time as Wedgwood blue and teal green. They were often incorporated in the two big design trends of "country" (remember the geese border in every kitchen, gag) and the "southwest" trend which belongs only in the southwest. IMHO.

“They’re adult Bumbo chairs!” 🤣 Completely agree with you on all of these. The only acceptable inflatable “furniture” is an inflatable bed for camping, and you only use it if you’re, you know, camping (something my husband refuses to do as he says it’s pretending to be homeless- his words, not mine). A carnival tent playhouse thing in a kid’s playroom is entirely acceptable, but I say the same about my kids’ Bluey tent playhouse thing- it’s in the basement, so no one has to see it and it was a gift for them from my best friend. And lastly, dusty rose… I’m also not into pink in any hue, but if your shirt is considered dusty rose, I must say, you look fabulous in it. Reads more wine on camera, but again, it’s a great color on you.

I have just discovered you. Having watched fashion trends since the 1960s, you crack me up and I love your commentary... Ahhhh dusty rose....it was popular in the 1930s when my long gone grandmother painted the whole interior of her house dusty rose. It stayed that color until her death in the 70s. "Grandma pink" and all the loving memories of her....

Also I just like the concept of cottage core because I like a more natural element in my home. Real wood furniture. Slight Victorian drama. Gold accents. Etc. It does help that I’m doing the homesteading stuff and cute things like fresh eggs, chicks and chickens end up indoors not to mention eventually baby goats!

The house I lived in for 18 years-- my entire teens and twenties-- had this palette: mauve/rose + burgundy, and cactus + hunter green. Beautiful? Yes. But ZERO wiggle room. Everything had to be one of those shades, or beige or sage green, or something that read as neutral such as any metal or wood or greenery. Mom absolutely refused to keep the hunter green hutch that she had specifically chosen because it matched the house before we moved, teasing she was traumatized. Now, as bf and I are thinking about how to finish his apartment (detached garage converted into a 1 bedroom apartment), I'm desperately trying to avoid painting ourselves into a corner with the colors we choose. So far we're thinking "blues and greens and just make sure everything looks nice"

Weighing in on Dusty Rose/Mauve here: yes, dust rose velvet chair, wall paint and wall to wall (shag!!)carpet is utterly ghastly! However, as I look around my living area I see a sort of dusty rose border in my dhurrie rug, paired with slate blue cream and gray geometric designs. Also notice the warm tint of the light brick floors and fireplace which are what we call Mexican brick. It recedes and grounds the space in a shy and retiring way and lets the warm woods of furniture pieces and the white walls take center stage. As a background neutral in natural fabrics and brick, it works!

Our first home had pink tile countertops in the kitchen (Not the only horrible thing in our 1979 fixer upper). When we finally removed it, underneath we were treated to a Formica countertop in French’s mustard yellow. We were poor so we just painted it with oops paint and polyurethaned it till we could afford the beautiful kitchen upgrade 5 years later. Tile is (almost) the worst. On the rolypoly chair: is it just me or does it look like the bottom half of a naked Simpson character, but with four legs? Eeeww. Edit: I had to laugh when we came to the part of your vide on mauve/dusty rose. The “pink” tile I cited above was, in fact, a dusty rose/mauve.

I think there's just something about any shade of the color pink that you have to straight up own if you want it to work. I could never. I've been casually house hunting recently and saw one home that had this dark purplish-pink carpet running through it. Thought it wasn't great but not too striking until I got to the master bedroom. It's one thing to have a dusty rose or rose gold or whatever shade of pink...and then there's pink. As in P.I.N.K.! As in pink Power Ranger pink. Some elderly lady who's probably the sweetest thing ever was living her wildest pink dreams in there and bless her for it but if I'd tried to spend one day in that room I'd have a migraine so bad it would register on the Ricther Scale.

Agree with all of these!!! I have a pair of MCM chairs that were my mom’s. I love the lines of the chairs. As a kid, I hated the original orange, scratchy wool upholstery. In the late 70’s she reupholstered them with a rust colored, wide wale corduroy (didn’t love it, didn’t hate it). BUT, the final reincarnation of the chairs was a ghastly mauve velveteen. I have the chairs now and will rehabilitate them as soon as I can decide on a fabric.

Similar story: Heywood Wakefield tub chair, when I was a child, it was baby blue with a chocolate slub. Always loved the curvy lines. As a teenager, it was reupholstered in scratchy gold stuff--hated it. But the last choice my mom made was a burgundy; the dark color just made it a blob. After she died, I asked for it, but it took me years to decide what to do. I finally had it reupholstered in ivory linen, and wowy zowy, it looks like something out of a 1930s movie--celebrates those curves, with decorative tacks running down the backside like the seam on a starlet's silk stocking. To me it doesn't look MCM, but art deco, a period I prefer.

Dusty Rose looks like the color they paint prison cells and hospital rooms because psychologists say it has a "calming effect". I always think about that when I see that color outside of those environments and think "what happens in this place that they'd need to choose this color to try to calm people down?" so I don't think I'd ever go out of my way to choose that.
