The black and white look is so overdone at this point. Someone should punch Joanna Gaines for starting this tasteless crap

The bland outside wasn't enough for these people, so they decided they wanted their lives to be void of all color. The interior decorator should never work again. It's so bad and bland.

Between the white everything and the daylight LED lights, I think this would feel like living in a sterile operating room

You have to spend a lot of money to get a staircase that ugly.



It would make a great funeral home.

You just read my mind. Have you seen that ugly, out of place shite, someone is building on Highland just past Kenilworth going south?

The staircase is so bad and sticks out like a sore thumb because it overwhelms the drab everything else

Don’t you have some cookies to bake and a candle to light?

Why would I do that?

Do you think I am a Realtor?

That is a lot of white at least it is not the cat shite green or the pee yellow that was big in the 1960’s and 70’s.

Agreed. I love color on a house.

Some cat shite green would give it some sort of life, at least

Because it’s trendy.

That’s the only reason women want that stuff

All of the houses that did that will be dated in less than 5 years.

Also, all of the ones who sealed their brick with oil-based paint to achieve that look will have brick failure within 10 years and mold issues. Look it up.

I was about to say the same thing. These houses within 10 years will be absolutely dated and then they'll have to do major renovations to sell or sell at a lower than normal price.

I don't understand why people think the "hospital" look is appealing at all. You see the same thing in hotels. The rooms are cold and uninviting. I want my home to actually feel homey.

My house is basically 100% natural light during the day in the living areas.
I would need sunglasses to live in that house.
I don’t like any kind of artificial lighting.
Somehow, I can feel it.

Those houses are built for contractors and Realtors, not for people to live in

I didnt know that, but I never understood that trend.

Those bright white fluorescent lights out in the country are god-awful and a nuisance to neighbors. I hate the white everything look.
