re: Interesting piece on generational differences

I youtube fix it as well. My entire house is a time warp. My SO and I buy vintage and antique furniture all the time. I don't own a piece made after '74ish. I like the craftsmanship. Every single piece I own is solid wood. No veneer or particle board to be found. Now, it's very eclectic but we like that. And our brand of shopping does not allow for instant gratification. I have a general idea of what I want and have to wait until I find the right piece. But, I save a ton of money and have a very unique house. I think the most expensive piece I own was around $180. I bought an entire groovy bedroom set for $125. Solid wood, unique, and not a mark on it. Things aren't made like that anymore. Even "high end" furniture is cheaply made. People spend thousands on furniture that will be worse for wear in 5-10 years and then spend thousands more to replace it for the latest thing. On one hand it annoys me that everything is so disposable to people, but on the other hand it saves me from having expensive yet cheap cookie cutter furniture. I just wish the hipsters would stop with the chalk paint and move on to the next fad.
