re: Can we stop doing this to houses?

That reminds me of Mr Pine's Purple House, a book I loved as a kid.

It's a bit too much white, but superior to ragged out traditional brown and beige everywhere.

At least the new trend is going back to color on cabinets but it is a light color on white oak. Also, no more shaker style. Now people want just flat cabinets that look like a commercial office



I like white oak and its natural color a lot, and I built my island out of it for contrast, but I like some character on the doors.


The monotone everything else is still in, though.

The gray is bad too. Trends for sheep that will look like 1970s paneling soon enough.

Apparently, you've touched a nerve with some of the sheep.

I prefer the mid-century style.

That's the point that I'm making. People are not buying houses to live in them. People are buying houses to stay in them until they can sell them later. Lots of people are not looking to make Roots anywhere anymore.

Some people don’t realize that listings are routinely ridiculed on Facebook. Realtors and Appraisers have several groups dedicated to picking apart a structure and property. That’s called “24 Hour Porn Rental” vibe or something like that.

Not far off
