The Philistine take on Biedermeier.

Biedermayer is a decorating style from the middle 1800s that got ripped a lot by the Avant Garde at the turn of the 20th Century.

Seems pretty eclectic to me, but I'm only seeing bits and pieces, not a whole room decorated in the style. Some of it... heck, most of it looks pretty good. That divan, or whatever you call it, is pretty ugly.

That's about it, buddy. There's not much difference between a divan and a Chesterfield really.

The rest is all prices in Euros. (My sister, who lives in Germany, pronounces that "Oiros." 12 years of German studies and it still throws me for a loop.
