Fairly interesting overview of what’s become the “trendy” home decor style from things like HGTV and design magazines, as well a quick look at some other style trends we’ve gone through.

    That, and the build quality on these new houses is sometimes astoundingly poor. My friend had a house built 2 years ago and he’s had nothing but problems with shit breaking. My house was built in 1906 and while that comes with a different set of issues, it’s not falling apart like these modern luxury shitboxes seem to. It’s survived tornados, floods, and tons of other shit weather that living in the midwest brings, but it still stands strong.

    But in regards to this article…the farmhouse shit is so fucking ugly. I live in a city and sometimes see people doing the farmhouse thing and it doesn’t fit at all. My friend put a sliding barn door on his bathrooms and the damn things don’t even close all the way, you can see right in through the crack where a normal door would seal. Lots of rooster-themed stuff in the kitchen and I’m just like…bud you’ve got a lot of cocks in your kitchen.

    The above is like, just my opinion, man, if people reading this like the farmhouse stuff, hey it’s your house, you do you.

        One of our friends is a real-estate agent and she said the same thing. It’s not going to age well and in 10-15 years people are going to be buying these houses and ripping all that shit out.
