"Kitsch" is defined by Webster as ": something that appeals to popular or lowbrow taste and is often of poor quality". I tend to think of it as faddish, badly done art or literature. By that definition, my Asian shabby-chic certainly fits that description...but I don't care. :-) I personally LOVE painted furniture (Rumdiculous has done some wonderful, NOT kitsch pieces that I would love in my house)...I think it's the ultimate definition of utilitarian art & I think that's a good thing.
