I have my grandmother’s antique rocking chair and I love it. It reminds me of her.

[@Luvinus]

I think stylish people can rock anything, it’s all about the context.

[@AMT_823]

I agree with everything you said except for the rocking chair. Outside on your porch or patio a rocking chair can be SO NICE and serene to sit in while having your coffee or lemonade and just rock away...i love them. I also live in the north east so maybe it's a north eastern type of thing...but i think rocking chairs are cool lol.

[@LouciferFlump]

As a Brit, the rocking chair on the porch thing is quintessentially American to me. It has a charming laid-back romanticism. It makes me want to join you on your porch…but we’d need a second chair….🤔😉

[@katfen9372]

The definition of a stylish home is not exclusively reserved for the contemporary style. The floral and checkered pattern is timeless. English cottage style interiors are a perfect example of wonderful interiors using these patterns. The most important question is whether you like such interiors - it is a subjective matter.

[@Just-me160]

Agree 99%, Valentina. The porch rocking chairs are where we differ. As a coastal New England native, whose style is somewhat similar to your own, Adirondack chairs on the lawn and white porch rockers are never viewed as dated in this region. Many of the most upscale hotels on Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard and my hometown of Newport, RI grace their porches with rockers that are the most coveted seats for locals and tourists to enjoy a cocktail and gentle ocean breezes. As for those mid century brown or black rockers you pictured, I definitely agree that they are and have always been unfortunate additions to a room.

[@Androgynary]

I agree. Rocking chairs in the right context is beyond “style” and trends. It’s just timeless and classic. It’s neither stylish nor unstylish.

[@patriciakeegan4228]

Same in the south! White rockers on the front porch! It’s a must!

[@lisagorman2480]

Totally agree on the front porch rockers in NE Ohio. They are a part of all of the best porches!

[@maryblack2039]

I have a rocking chair in my living room now, but it’s an antique mission oak rocker from the early 1900’s. It’s similar to ones on eBay selling anywhere from $500-1000 so I’m keeping it!

Who decides what is stylish???? If you love it that's all that matters.

[@HouseofValentina]

I definitely don’t decide what is stylish. I just share with people the trends and styles. The truth is that styles and trends have existed all throughout history. As we create new things we want new things and it’s incredibly human to desire something fresh and new. Of course the ultimate question is, do you love it? But there’s also nothing wrong with wanting some different and new at the same time.

[@gabriellagrace4734]

I can always count on you two to lighten the atmosphere around here. I remember our first sofa in the 70's, the material was a scene with woods, browns, oranges, greens, dark wood frame. We let it go with the house when we sold the trailer. Now I'm looking at paneling in a brick house. I am determined to have a Mediterranean style home some day but for now I just paint them.

Omg! On point on everything except the lighting! I love my 1920 full heavy solid brass chandelier with its patina and my 1920 heavy real alabaster rope pendant in my interior entry. You can’t find this quality on Amazon… plus I own a 1920 craftsmen four square. Yes we have Redon kitchens bathroom and updated all the real lime plaster… oh the sconces on each side of my old brick fireplace are also period to the home. And I’m very stylish, the most stylish folks know how to blend eras…build a home that doesn’t look like we ordered it all from RH mad pottery barn and Amazon or wheresver. Yes I own all of these a west elm sofa an RH english arm chair…pottery barn vessels but I know how to blend in my vintage and antiques. And I love that color is finding its way into the best designed homes from AD to house and gardens. We don’t all need to live in beige homes. My wood paneling is wainscoting around the dining room beadboard in the mudroom and all seasons room upstairs. I painted the beadboard. But I love the warm wood tones. Anyway the most stylish people know how to juxtapose eras and items…we know how to layer…find quality items and make home feel like home.

My living/dining area and my den all have paneling- house was built in 1970- but we never did take it down and resurface the walls. Yes we did paint over them, but I like the texture. ;-) No rockers, but we do have built in recliners in our couches. As far as bathroom rugs, I do like a small rug around the commode because it feels good on my feet while sitting. We also have heated toilet seats, which are phenomenal!

I love when you two make videos together, you make me smile! Agree about recliners being ugly, but.... We just solved that problem! Backstory, after a marriage and a move (for me) we are now purging some of my husband's furniture and integrating some of mine into our home. He had a set of two very comfortable chairs; one of them had a huge "ottoman" in front of it, and he would sit there to read the paper. This ottoman (not really an ottoman, more of a small upholstered coffee table which was too tall, hard, and not comfortable to place your feet on) disrupted the flow of traffic. The room was unbalanced which really bothered me, but I seemed to be the only one who noticed. We ended up buying a set of beautiful chairs that actually recline, but look nothing like a recliner! Huge win! They look great and the flow of traffic is seamless...no dodging around that ugly ottoman! Now my husband loves the arrangement and the ease of movement through the space. Scale is another thing we are working on! My husband has some lovely pieces that don't fit the scale of the room, they dominate it. We are working to balance the den and guest room now. We will be moving out to do a full renovation this coming fall, but a few tweaks help for now. It is really a process to integrate two households with different tastes and styles. Sometimes it's hard to let go of "this is the way it has always been", but if we respectfully work together we can open our minds to endless possibilities that make both of us happy!
