“Why Are Mushrooms Suddenly All Over Home Decor?”

for the same reason brown was the ONLY color allowed on home decoration shows ten years ago, and then a few years later only GREY was allowed: because the LGBTQWERT+’s who control fashion said so, that’s why!

They’ve been popular before. It goes in cycles.

And the morel of the story is?

Sorry I couldn’t resist.

What do you call a dwarf writing under an assumed name?

A Gnome d’Plume !!!

Thanks I’ll be here all week .

"Amber pans are making a come back along with earth tones."

I see that Corning is making them. I've still got some of the cornflower design Corningware.

Or sauted in butter and served with a steak and potato

I did not know about him. Sounds like an interesting guy.

I have a friend who is into interior design and she told me a bit ago that gray was on it's way out and that earth tones or Fall colors were on the way in. I commented that it sounded like the seventies were back and she said, yeah pretty much.

I remember the chicken decor, especially in kitchens.

Harvest Gold. Got married in 1970 and received bun warmers and fondue pots in avocado green and harvest gold.

O God, the 1970’s have returned! Hide the wallpaper!

I know a guy that claims he ate some, once. ( You challenge his credibility at your peril). He said it was the best time he ever had, until it turned into the worst time he ever had. Woke up on the mudflats.

I avoid tchotchke items, and decorate with color mostly. Red, white and blue (patriotic) in some rooms, and yellow and blue in other rooms.

There was a sudden flair in bell-bottom pants once as well.

Don’t forget burnt orange. Or “copper” or “bronze” they called it. It looked good on cars, though. My mom had a bronze ‘62 AMC Rambler. Base everything, no options. But it’s the first car I remember.

I remember a Lt. Col., a growed-ass man, going around offices ahead of a Gen. Creech visit, hiding the red dictionaries in desk drawers. The General hated the color red, evidently. TAC’s emblem must have made him crazy.

[Tammy8]

I think mushrooms as decor are silly, and thought so in the 70s.

I hate gnomes and they are everywhere but that trend seems to be fading. Gnomes creep me out for some odd reason and in the past few years they took over Christmas.

[Secret Agent Man]

With fashion/decor, often whats old eventually becomes new again.

[Ezekiel]

Well, it seems the latest fad in this vein is: the mushroom. Specifically, a spotted, usually red and white variety.

Tradition has it that King David was a redhead, and who knows where or when his son is going to pop up out of nowhere, so it all adds up, even the detail that Kilroy originated from Bethlehem Steel, the Fore River Shipyard in Quincy Mass.

(I posted two of them because they are identical twins. One is hiding behind the Delaware pillar, the other on the other side of the Freedom Wall of Stars, behind the Pennsylvania pillar. They peer out from locked, golden gates.)

Just a coincidence, I'm sure. /s

Kilroy -- good Irish name:

Irish

Etymology
Literally, “son of the red-haired servant”

Our soon to be installed kitchen cabinets will be light maple, grain clear as a bell. We do what we want.

Amanita mushrooms are very pretty when observed in nature, but they are very poisonous.

Some day, someone is going to sue HomeGoods or another party for making these pretty but deadly mushrooms seem innocuous. Someone is going to try to collect a real one, and will get very sick.
