peche is arguably pre-modernist/"arts & crafts" but even so i dont think "formal orthogonal lines and rigid color palette" is the WORST generalization as these things go
perhaps instead of "modernism" we should speak of "modernisms" but its the nyt style section

they're the same shabby-chic scavengers we've always had but with an extra layer of artistic pretension that this writer has decided to turn into another trend piece about "the recession"

i guess i feel that if the style section has to exist the editors should stick to rich people's hobbies without attempting to yoke them to subjects they couldn't pay attention to in college, i.e. economics i.e. art history

TBF, as the NYTimes has often reminded us, 'the effects of the recession' are not necessarily about what you actually can or can't afford as wanting to not look too rich and go with the spirit of the times.

classic NYT lede:
AT Easter time, when the shops erupt in a pastel frenzy of chocolate bunnies, candy eggs and marshmallow chicks, I try hard to resist. Unless I’m buying an artisanal rabbit made from single-origin chocolate, most of the confections look a lot better than they taste.

Nancy and Eric Olsen could not pinpoint exactly when it happened or how. All they knew was one moment they had a pastoral view of a soccer field and the woods from their 1920s colonial-style house; the next all they could see were three solar panels.“I hate them,” Mr. Olsen, 40, said of the row of panels attached to electrical poles across the street. “It’s just an eyesore.”

If Bergen Country fell into a sinkhole, we'd have solved like 70% of our "evil and hated people on Wall Street" problems and we could just cover the whole thing over with solar panels. Win/win.

I worked at a bar with a girl who went to NY for the weekend and wound up meeting "A DJ" who you moved to NY to be with. Years later I found out it was him and that he'd bought her a tea store/restaurant downtown or something and running that is what she now does. Their courtship didn't last afaik though.
