And to so many people, without even going into the decor, "old" equals bad taste and "new" equals good taste. I remember a few years ago when my wife were newly married, and found a really cool pogo light with orange fiberglass shades. When my mother-in-law visited, she told my wife "don't worry honey, one day you'll be able to afford nice new lamps."

This is the reason people have traded in their 1957 Chevy Belair for a nice new 1973 Chevy Malibu, sold their 1955 Fender tweed amp for a nice new 1969 silverface one, moved out of their Eichler house and into a plush new McMediterranean McVilla, etc.
