I love antiques. I've loved almost most antiques since I was a little bitty kid, but am finding out that the younger generation just does not like older antiques (i.e., Victorian or older) in their homes. What happened? Is this just a phase? I'm hoping...
I've tried to find out why on the net, but am coming up empty handed. Nobody seems to have a definitive reason other than they just aren't popular with the younger generations today.
Interesting enough it seems that here in the Midwest, anyway, anything from the '50's is popular because the younger folks remember their grandparents having '50's things in their homes. Of course, since I remember that era myself, I wouldn't have it in my home. We're talking paint-by-number pictures (remember those?) and chrome kitchen tables and chairs here, folks. Different generations I guess.
So, I was wondering if there were any antique buffs here from other regions of the country and if you can enlighten us on your region antique-wise?
