The design and decorating industry picked up on the trick the fashion industry uses. You HAVE TO DO SOMETHING NEW to keep people spending money. Everything comes back around (but hopefully not shag carpet, swag lamps, and avocado appliances).

My bachelor pad house I bought was a 1948 house, 950 sq feet, two bedroom and a single car garage. It had shag carpeting, and pink and green bathroom fixtures. A pink toilet, and pink bathtub and I got it at a mortgage rate of only 12.5% which was a bargain at the time as my bank wanted 18%.
I replaced the carpet, and just lived with the pink and green bathroom until I was ready to sell the place. I redid the bathroom with modern appliances and sold the place after a couple years of fun as a landlord. Never again will I be a landlord.
