Do you have the same taste in decor and fashion as your Mother? I do with both. I also take after her with my "need" to have a spotless home. I am a fanatic with keeping the house clean and this would also include keeping the yard neat and the cars washed.

Yes.  Decor = Neutral colors, Fashion = Basics in Neutral colors.

Yes, I am definitely my Mother's daughter!

Absolutely not. We've never liked the same style in fashion or decorating.

Not at all.  My mother liked much brighter colors and patterns in decor.  She didn't really have a fashion style, but when she needed to purchase an outfit for a special occasion, she did tend to select brighter colors and patterns.  

From seeing old photos of her from the 40s, her style and colors were more conservative.  I am assuming that during that time period clothing selection may have been limited and one had to stretch their dollars so they opted for neutrals.

Me, I am conservative.  Classic style and neutrals all the way.  An occasional pop of color in accessories.

Fashions not so much.  Home decor, sort of. I need to see a room completely put together but she can pick out pieces that would go together well.  Jewelry, ehhh.  She likes necklaces and earrings sets and won't buy one without the other.  I can use a single necklace and use a differnt pair of earrings and it works with the outfit.  Handbags--she likes suitcases and I like medium sized bags.

No. We are opposites in many ways. Sometimes I have to wonder....

We had similar tastes, however my mom had a better eye for what would look good together. We would disagree and when all was said and done I had to admit she was right, which killed me, LOL.

No.  Growing up, we truly lived in our house, but my mother was also a clean fanatic.   After I married and had my own home, I realized she did it because she was very proud of her brand new home and wanted it be a nice place for her family---and it was.  

I also saw that my maternal grandmother had an extremely "relaxed" attitude about housework, and knew that had a huge influence on mom.   

I was a clean fanatic the first few years in this brand new house, but realized I was feeding my OCD tendencies, and lowered my expectations.   My home is clean but I am not obsessed with cleaning it.
