I’m more about the rococo, frankly: rococo = funny, victorian = hideous

Victorian: Moar iz moar, dahlink!

As to coler choices, remember, dey had oil and candle lite, no lectric lite til neerlee de end. So a green dress wif lavendrr an babee bloo trim wuz luvlee at a candlelit balldance, but hideus in todayz liting!

An den de 70’s (1970’s, da pleh age of design) came along an tried to make der verzhun uv Victoreean desine - Hollee Hobbee, brown, an lotsa payzlee wif purpleh. It not de 19th cenchoorees fawlt, reellee it isn’t!

I dunno - they weren’t in candlelight all the time !!! someone had to have seen those dresses in daylight… PLEH !!!

Onlee in dah ootzidez, Victorian howzez had verre thik wallz an smll windoze.

Well, the upholstery is at least solid on that piece, not pleh floral. And thei r windows were quite large, but you couldn’t see that thru all the velvet. I really like Victorian, if only because it would hide the fact that picking up the stuff around my house is not my number one favorite activity!

Mai mum haz Victorian hooze. I noze it haz smll windoze an wallz 2 foots tik.

I hatez pleh tidein 2.

Due to the Industrial Revolution, the middle class became much bigger in the 19th century. To display their new found wealth, Victorians bought all sorts of things & stuffed their houses with them. Asian and Egyptian imports were quite popular. The fashion of having drapes bunch on the floor also became popular, because it displayed the household’s ability to, for lack of a better word, waste money! Victorians believed wholeheartedly in the adage: if you’ve got it , flaunt it! Over the top was the norm! *Steps away from lecturn & asks for questions*

Ize seed aul wot ManfredMom sed in oddah playcez 2.
