I love wallpaper like the blue print; I like the dishes. I had tassles like that on several things in the last home.
I don't know why people say "afraid of color." Isn't that pretty judgmental? I mean really, afraid?
How about saying some people don't like a lot of color. Some people's taste doesn't run toward a lot of color. Things like that.
I do not fear color. I don't like a lot of it. To me, cool, calm and restful is what I like in my home. I like cleaner lines, softer surroundings, more sophisticated look, and less clutter. And to my eye, a lot of color is either cluttered looking, or in small bright doses sort of jarring in a house.
So there I've said it. I sort of resent "fearing color". I could mix color in great ways, and have done in small bathrooms, and for a lot of friends. But I don't want to live with it.

I like the bathroom with the big tub.

At least it appears to give a more "comfy vibe" than the ultra stark and modern trend which resembles more of an office setting JMHO....

Not my style.

It's definitely not my thing......give me sleek mid-century modern any day over this.

I'm not a fan of most of the prints and florals used in this style. I don't like the tub or the sofa. The only appealing photo for me is the warm wood in the 5th photo - minus the tassels.

This is a new term for me. I'm impressed by decor knowlege of many HOME posters. I'm not a fan of this style but understand many may be.

I welcome any style that celebrates using good quality furnishings from the past rather than using resources to create short term particle board furniture. I hate that good quality items are being tossed into landfills simply because they don't match some conceived notion of today's style.

@Sooner I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say when I used the words "afraid of color". With so many decorators going for neutrals, Erin seems willing (as a designer) to be a little different and not follow any specific trend and not care so much about her reputation as a designer. I find that very refreshing. She is not afraid (concerned) about what every one else thinks about her flair for color. She is that way even in her choice of clothing. I truely admire that in a person. I hope this explains what I was trying to say.

@jubilant Oh I wasn't you specifically, and my fault that you took it that way--I apologize .
I have just come to find that term in general use--and you see it all the time here--offensive. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean you are afraid of it.
The general phrase actually suggests that one is timid, boring, lackluster, fearful, etc. etc. I think it is something suggesting how someone is rather than a simple like or dislike.
I think it's a phrase that should go by the wayside--and so maybe people will think before they accuse someone of being "afraid." Which is very different than "not fond of".
