C gar- I am going to do tacky one better. I am going to spray paint my white (my eyes! my eyes!)appliances black! There- I am ever so much the tackiest!
Cgar…I didn’t reall have a problem with his taste in appliances but he kept harping on the fact that the garden level was the most appropriate level for FORMAL dining. that is just so wrong in any brownstone that has a much more magnificent, high ceiling, plastered crown molding parlour level.
He also insisted on keeping all the second & third floor chopped up small useless Victorian rooms with multiple entrances!!!!!!!!! God forbid you combine two of those into a bathroom and take a shower in anything other than a clawfoot tub.
“Biff…sounds like you screwed your way through your youth! How old were you all when you first did it???? Jeeesh!”
Snappy, I was 16, and thought I was a late bloomer. But we Canadians start young. They used to have birth control pills shaped like Fred Flintstone up there.
16!!!! I’m sure I was fooling around with 2 guys in the neighborhood, my age, when we were all 11.

And so we must all run out and replace our tacky, suburban stainless steel appliances with lovely black ones!
