I can remember as a kid loving the Maitlands' house before they died. That big country mansion was beautiful, but now, as an older college student, I feel like I actually like the way the Deetzs decorated it even though it was supposed to be tacky. There's something really cool about some of the things they did to the house. Not all of it, though. Those chairs in the dining room were hideous!
shareI preferred the traditional décor. I'm not a fan of modern décor. Theres something very cold about white walls and wood floors. White kitchen counters and sliver décor. It depresses me for some reason
shareGood times!!

We've met before, haven't we?

Neither decor us to my taste, but if I absolutely HAD to choose, I'd take the post-Delia house with viridian walls.
It's be much easier to paint over her walls than to steam off all that dreadful beige wallpaper.
For me the way Adam and Barbara had it. I feel their anger at what the Deetzes did to their house. Pretty well any home owner I know has their homes like Adam and Barbara. Frankly Delia's house design is like something from Hell.
shareI'm a traditional person (my wife and I built a Colonial for our home) but I didn't particularly care for the way Barbara had the house. "Country Clutter" is a way of describing an overdone country decor.
OTOH, the Deetz's decor was cold and sterile.
Given the choice of one or the other, I'd take the original house. One of my friends has a house built in the late 1700s, and it has an updated kitchen and bath, but both are tasteful and use natural materials and traditional colors reminiscent of the original build.
The way it before. I have always hated modern art and deco
