No Fakes

Monday, June 25, 2007

Every so often, people will either ask about this or actually do this - have fake flowers and plants in their homes. Not only do they do this, but they try to justify their actions by saying the fakes are "really" good ones. To me, having fake plants or flora in your home or anywhere for that matter is like screaming out loud, "I have really, really BAD taste!"

Today while I was flipping through the channels, I caught an Oprah show on decorating and there was an audience question:

"Is having fake flowers in your home considered tacky?"

The decorator and Oprah looked sick and then vehemently said,"Yes! Nothing is tackier than fake plants or flowers."

They went on to explain how anything else, even nothing is better than going this route.

All I can say is, Hallelujah! Thank God, Oprah's said it out loud. Hopefully offenders have caught the same show, and are now currently, quietly, disposing of these eyesores.

Hey, some of us are lazy, and bad with plants!

Ryan,

You're speaking to someone who kills cacti, so I understand! :) But surely even shells/dead branches would make better home accessories than foliage that gathers dust...
