Some decorating mistakes that make me crazy include:
Bubble sofas - not sure what the name is but couches that have three bubbles of fabric or leather. Many are sectionals, and although they originated in the 1980s they persist today. Some have a place where one can Keep a sixpack of soft drinks or beer. They may be comfortable - they are UGLY!
Those are virtually the ugliest piece of furniture one can own.
The ones with drink places are a-w-f-u-l!!

They are called bustle-backs. Though my first post-college roommate and I called ours "fat folds."
Didja know you can get coolers in the really fugly ones?
They're built in.
Girl your killin me !!!
My cousin has a sofa that I don't know how it is done but like a snack tray thingy kinda pops up so it almost feels like your in a hospital bed I guess he planned on watching TV and eating....it sounds sick, but I was like, huh??? what kind of tricks does your couch do????

Thanks much! It has been a while since I laughed that much!
I remembered another wince-worthy feature, how about light fixtures with wavy edges shaped like flowers?!
My biggest pet peeve: "Tuscan style" kitchens?! N-o-t-h-i-n-g Tuscan about them!
Every time I hear "(insert word here) style" or "(insert word here) inspired", I cringe in advance!
OK here's another - faux flowers decorating the tops of cabinets, I mean long garlands of faux flowers. (not that short ones would be any better)
Also saw recently, the same flowers cascading around a lighted curio cabinet filled with a jumble of Precious Moments figurines. In addition the entire room was decorated in shades of blue. Surrounding the room was a country themed wall border with pictures of rustic stars,little log cabins, the American Flag and the bible, with bible verses beneath the pictures.
There was a Thomas Kincaid painting over the sofa and the sofa was pine with velvet cushions, printed with pictures of barns, wheat sheaves, and farm implements.
The dark pine couch was flanked with hexagonal end tables with gold stenciling and topped with matching blue hurricane lamp. Each door way was adorned with a swag of blue and white faux flowers.
The woman is my age or several years younger.
Is this a Pennsylvania thing?

No, that would be an "I have no taste thing".
I sure hope I dont dream about that room tonight!
LOL!!! I hope that I don't dream of it either! I hope that you don't!
I was stunned! I was looking around and she said, " I love decorating! Don't you?"
I answered honestly "yes I do!" I hope that the horrified look on my face was mistaken for awe or admiration, as opposed to the repulsion that I really felt.
I think that this particular type of decorating is prevalent in certain regions and among certain social groups. Since moving to PA I see a lot of this, although not all so religious.
