Here is something utterly mundane.
In one of our previous residences, there was this fashionable divider
between the dining room and the den.
"Back in the day"
- say, fifty to seventy years ago -
this type of lathed balustrade was indeed fashionable.
On all of today's home improvement / designer shows,
this detail would be lamented as "dated."
I like it.
But then I guess I am a bit "dated" myself.
