It’s funny because the English have a very similar version of this, but it’s way more understated and much more about displaying upper class taste than it is about displaying wealth.
If you see a rusted steel edge to someone’s lawn you can bet your host knows the name of every plant and your cup of tea is probably coming with a saucer.

That said, I do miss the style of house in the town I grew up in, where front doors often had stained glass, and verandahs some extra wrought iron flourishes. I wish I could name the style, but here's a (poor) photo demonstrating the wrought iron flourishes at least. https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/lyttelton-nz-feb-25-old-house-133901297 https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/lyttelton-nz-feb-25...
- solardev 4y agoReally? That's a class symbol in the UK? I see these in the US all the time at new constructions that have that "hipster starter kit" look, those iron-and-wood Chipotle homes. Typically they also seem to start falling apart within a few years, with edges poking up and threatening to stab unwary pedestrians, etc.
