The Kitsch-n Sink

Question!!! I need everyone to chime in on this. The Dawley house- home of the Crane and Pelican Cafe and soon to also house Kitsch-n Sink Antiques- is a Victorian era (1830’s-1905-ish) house. Should I bring in my signature kitschy mid century modern goodies ORrrr…. Stick to the beautiful, elegant, stylish antiques of the Victorian period? (See examples in comments)
