Interior Design Gone Full Circle

When I was growing up I remember the things we had in the house. We had linoleum kitchen flooring, the table and chairs were stainless steel with vinyl covered cushions, a porcelain sink with a hand sprayer attachment. The bathroom never heard of a shower until a portable kit came to the stores one hot summer and I got to install it in the clawfoot bathtub which probably weighed 500 pounds, or so it seemed to be, along with the matching sink. Oh yes, the flooring was linoleum with a scatter rug on it for those cold Boston mornings in your bare feet at 3 a.m.. What point am I attempting to make? It's simple. I'm think of all the money that could have been saved had we known that the style we were trying to shed because it was so outdated would be so in vogue today. People are actually paying top dollar to recreate these kitchens and bathrooms of yesteryear for what we paid top dollar to undo!
