How dated will this housing trend be in a few years?

3.5 years’ worth of dating

i believe farmhouse kitchens are already considered dated

These flippers are all buying 60s-70s houses, painting the exterior brick white and doing the "upgrades" you described. That brick is going to look like arse in a few years. At least with limewashing the brick is actually changing. The maintenance on a peeling white brick exterior is going to be a nightmare.

Overall painted brick is not my taste and yes the brown stone is bad. I hate stucco too but at least it's better than painted brick or stones.

I don't think it looks terrible, but those gold fixtures are
ugly. The thing about white washing brick that made it cool was only a few people did it. Now it all looks the same.

I don't hate it. But I think the painted brick trend will be outdated very soon.

It is nice when trying to rework an older house, but when they started building hundreds of cookie cutter houses in places like Baton Rouge or Houston with that same style....it was just a matter of time before it would get stale.

I still like it way more than the EFIS/stucco houses that are the mass produced "french country" style home.

In our old house my ole lady went with the white counter tops with the white tile backsplash against my wishes, but it really grew on me after a while.



Side note...it's sad that I know that exact brand of the kitchen fixtures in the second pic thanks to a new kitchen remodel we are going through. Delta Brizo collection.

edit: frick man why'd you change the picture?

It'll end when Joanna Gaines tells your wife what she likes next.

I like white quartz countertops

I do too but the white countertops, with white subway tile backsplash, with white cabinets, and the super-bright "daylight" LED fixtures makes me feel like I am in a sterile operating room.
