"the girlies" need a biology lesson. Sorry to disappoint everyone but that's not how it works, which is why you should take health advice from people with qualifications and an education in the correct field rather than just from people who look like you want to 🙄🤦♂️
I'm here for this kind of content. I too love 'preloved' furniture. Most of what we have is not new. Much better for the environment - as well as my pocket!
Thank you for this . I was looking into doing this , for our move in a week . I’m giving away so much our son is moving to Washington. Now I know I can make a beautiful home thrifting ) sorry my English isn’t the best )
Your home is cozy and inviting! Your house doesn't fall into a particular aesthetic trend, but everything still sort of goes together. Love to see old pieces of furniture being used. They're so much sturdier than this particle board stuff!
I love houses like this, im so tired of white house, gray countertops, gray furniture (with tables you *know* is probably particle board)…. i just want solid wood old pieces that i know will last! and they’re gorgeous!
When I hear underconsumption I don’t think “only buying secondhand things” I think “not buying unnecessary things AT all”we don’t NEED wall accessories or fake plants, are they cute and make the room look nice- yes, but we don’t need it. So basically in what I think of for underconsumption means in a living room you have a couch just enough pillows, maybe an extra chair a coffee table but even that’s not NECESSARY, it’s helpful though, a tv and tv stand ( again not necessary but definitely nice to have) And that’s it. In a bathroom no cutesy decorations, just a shower curtain, your bath and hygiene products, some towels and your hand soap. Under consuming means consuming less not buying the same amount but just second hand 🙄
It takes time, some garage sales, or some strategic thrifting to get things that are considered "nice" or relatively expensive. But eventually, you find something that you can cherish and be proud to hand down to at least one person.
There’s nothing wrong with having an aesthetic home, especially in this current culture when you have to fight so hard for your right to be able to have a beautiful space that suits your personal taste .
Apart from it having a lack of character and it being the reason a lot of old good furniture is just chucked out instead of being looked after and passed down.
I think you can still post this without downplaying, minimizing or belittling. You still have a beautiful clean aesthetic home it’s just not modern or beige mom. You are blessed to have what you have
Honestly I feel so much more comfortable in homes like this. When I enter those all white/beige homes I feel unwelcome and uncomfortable because it’s so little personal.
