I’m the antique (she calls me “vintage”) dresser, that was perfectly functional and pleasing to the eye after a little Pledge® cleaning, that she decided would look much better sanded down and painted in a bright turquoise. She fancies herself something of an Interior Designer... I can’t say I agree.
My mother had a neighbor who was an “interior designer” and she had shit like this. She was also fond of leopard print upholstery on Queen Anne chairs and modern bookshelves and sheepskin throws.
I’m not opposed to painting over hopelessly damaged finishes, if they’re like this

I'm one in Chartreuse. But how the hell did I get out here in this field?

Most of these pieces are mass produced turn of the century stuff that was cheap when new . I think it looks way better painted. I wouldnt do that to a mahogany George III piece,but for this stuff its fine.

My cousin sets up a "harvest scene" in their front yard every year...cornhusk scarecrows, faux flowers, a "Harvest" stenciled sign, and requisite bales of hay. They live on a busy street and she loves getting compliments on it from the neighbours. When I used to fly home at Thanksgiving, I'd always stop by her house to catch up, and I knew she'd expect a compliment on that year's harvest scene. I made the mistake of asking one year where she got the decorations, and she replied, "Would you believe it's all from the Dollar Tree? Except the hay bales, of course. But don't tell!" It makes her happy, so whatever. (Tried to attach a stock pic, but it won't attach.)

Does she burn pumpkin spice candles, r8?

Of course she does, R9! The candles bring the essence of the hideous harvest scene indoors, so that it's an inescapable event of the senses.
I wish I could attach this ridiculous example I found on Pinterest, but DL is not having it at the moment. Anyway, if you Google "Pinterest harvest scene decorations," there's a virtual cornucopia of ones to see. My cousin's could be much worse, now that I've seen some of those.
