It's been a while In my university years, I had the fortune to have Marta Zatonyi as Esthetics teacher. This lady, born in Budapest, PhD in Paris, and aged in Argentine barrels, was an insane grandmother from a medieval fairy tale who had it clearer than water.
On one occasion, giving a class about what kitsch, proposed something that still rumbles in my head every day: " if you are more moved by that cheap sheet that was in your grandmother's house than an original Picasso, not you judge ... I got the sheet of your grandmother, and lucila on your wall.
Kitsch is not that, kitsch would hang the Picasso and not generate you absolutely nothing "

And suddenly, that today sounds pretty Obviously it was expressed with total simplicity and insolence: it is useless to jump on a trend, to adapt to the established, to adopt the "in" ... if that does not resemble us, our spaces, our life.
As much as the little angel snob standing on his right shoulder repeats to us that there are things that we can not question, that we must abide by fashion, frequent such a restaurant, enjoy such book or never listen to such music ... what happens to the heart is a separate story.
And the same thing happens with the house.
In recent times, fortunately, the freedom to explore and build personal, unique spaces has been claimed. No sense has to recreate an X style or copy environments of magazines, if we do not put a particular quota, a secret ingredient, a guilty pleasure. Findings, design, tastes, inheritance, colors, memories, are some of the touches that they lead us to define our own recipe for what a home is.
Since not many years ago, leaving a semi-unpainted antique furniture was outside the menu. Nothing left the Chinatown could be considered decoration. The lantern colors were dangerous terrain. An oxidized metal was such a sacrilege that practically the social work covered the converter.
Hanging a poster on the wall was only allowed until the age of 15. Hanging dishes, after 60.
All that and everything that we can think of, today is a perfectly viable possibility.
A green box in a modern department, a zoomorphic shooter, a fruit sugar bowl, a box botanical fluorine, a textile colorinche ...We can give the house the wave that we want.
But if you have a ch somewhere, you jump two squares. Ch of cocoliche, of cachirulo, of kitsch.
A stuffed animal of a ostrich that is considerably glamorous, posing on a ledge made of wood from La Boca, which in turn is sheltered on a designer paper Palermo, is a group that could not be less orthodox. However, the owner of the house is chocha. The bird catches smiles.
No corner cares to get home FOA; That's the business of decorators and architects.
Each one has its own compass, but generally if a piece of furniture or an object does not move you a hair, you're wasting time and square meters with it. Let it go and look for something different, yours, that makes you shine your eyes every time you pass by.
Historically, the difference between what is considers good or bad taste is not determined by aesthetics or art, but by power.
Depending on the era, has been political power, religious, academic, economic ... And power never has wave; it only has power.
So let's take the risk, and let's free our most picturesque side.
If we have a little more fun arming our environments, it is very likely that we will spend a better touch living in them.
Thank you Fer/Don Terrenal for sharing and writing us this great note! They like me? We are sure that yes! For those who were distracted and do not know yet, Don Terrenal has its small market, where they can buy objects and furniture with all the wave of the world! If you do not believe me, click here. We will see you next Monday with a kitchen of dreams!
And the same thing happens with the house.
