Quebec apartment dwellers wanted to spiff up their homes in the 1980s and 1990s without spending a lot on a place they did not own.So if you lived in the Montrealers during that era you definitely ended up at homes in St. Francois, Laval or Greenfield Park and found yourself on a couch amid slim, flimsy metal chairs, melamine wall units housing bulky 27 inch TVs and walls festooned with strategically-placed wallpaper border wall treatments near the ceiling.
The sad thing was that the people who dolled up their homes in these chintzy styles were really trying.
They sought beauty but instead found ceramic dog statues and strangely-shaped frameless mirrors cut into neat shapes, all purchased on Saturday afternoon visits to malls with ample parking.The styles weren't just soulless, they would literally suck the soul out of anybody who had a soul (Not a problem for you, obviously- Chimples)
Walking down memory lane isn't always fun kids, as the decorations promoted by Lynda Tremblay demonstrate.
