IMO the Modern Farm/Magnolia look is far from the worst design trend I’ve ever seen. It’s simple and honest. Big open spaces.

Big open spaces. *shrug* I have this thing with home design - your house should be more of what it actually is. Lean into it hard, whatever "it" is. I know it sounds vague, but to me, every house fundamentally screams a certain aesthetic. My cookie cutter 2000 sq ft, 4bd 2ba, single story thing in a subdivision on a small lot, built in 2015, would look absolutely ridiculous if I tried to "farmhouse" it. It would be really jarring, and out of place. The vibe would be "try hard", if that makes any sense. It wouldn't work. At all. I'd be trying in vain to desperately make the house be something it just isn't. It's hard to explain.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I own a real farmhouse, built in the 1890s. My finishes don't look as rough or patina'ed as some of these new trends... I hope the fad doesn't end. This only make my real farmhouse go up in value. The fallacy here is the opposite is true. Your authentic farmhouse is going to look fake and uninteresting to those seeking the faux farmhouse/ farmhouse chic. |

Quoted: If your favorite color is Surrender Flag White and Depression Gray with irregular simple non-mitered trim, unskilled carpentry lines, Industiral galvanized light fixtures and worn hardware - THen Modern Farmhouse is for you! It combines the sleek clean lines of contemporary Capitalism with the poor socialist (e.g. "cozy") combined with Soviet Inspired "unembelleshment" and irregular textures. Flaws = style, Wear = patina and artistic, broken = characteristic and practical. It all looks like socialism decor is trending popular. When your new home is a white and gray painted cargo container you can feel trendy. Prison bars might make it feel "secure" Right now nearly every house being listed is with the above themes. Please no color. A red star on your Christmas Tree is the only color allowed. Yes I am constipated, old and tired. I need my juice. I’d say 90% of the new homes I sell they buyers pick this same crap. I can’t stand to look at it. They all want white siding and black windows. It’s so plain and boring with few exceptions. Personally I like earth colors and real wood |

Quote HistoryQuoted: HGTV and Pinterestkeep me busy adapting new homes to the latest trends. Yeah at least trend chasing keeps some money in the US, via payments to contractors and remodelers. I think the most extreme examples of trend chasing happen when you have people so focused on things like paint color and furniture that they’re willing to ignore the type of house they actually live in. Or they’re trying to overcome a terrible house design mistake (ahem, McMansion). |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I am fine with real farm houses. The ones in a residential neighborhood like something out of the Truman Show, made to look "farmy" are stupid. Don't get me started on buying new furniture that is painted to look old.  One of my friends (recent, as in last 10 years, transplant to the area) bought a house out in the country near us. It’s on 1 acre. Brand new pole barn. It is an old house, but it ain’t no farm. His wife really went whole hog into the farmhouse theme. Meanwhile, she can’t stand coming over to our farm - the pigs smell and the cows are scary. The chickens (free range) “chase” her. She thinks livestock is dirty. Thinks all the work we do to raise livestock and crops is beneath her. I grew up in a farmhouse built in 1845, and we did a lot of work to it to make it look nice. Not worn out. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I don't know the definition of that, but when I bought this place the Cedar siding was stained brown, and most of the inside was various shades of beige. I liked it at the time, because it reminded me of a log cabin. (I hate drywall). We had the outside painted gray, and my daughter has done various colors to walls/cabinets inside. My bathroom had gray walls, with three different colors of stupid-looking squares all over. We used some of the leftover paint from outside, and painted my bathroom.

That one matches the blue cabinets in the kitchen, which can be seen because we have a pass-through deal. Here's one living room wall; https://i.postimg.cc/sfHMygGy/2020-12-30_Mount_Wall_Painted_(5).jpg I like it! Nice! My cursing the trend was it was too trendy and to have some fun- Can't find a home on Zillow that isn't all gray and white. I gre up with natural wood trim and sort of liked it , I see all wood painted, in fact I saw a nice Victorian recently where they had previously restored the wood only to have to paint it white to sell it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I just spent more time on the VESA site than is probably reasonable. Can you point me to where there is a standard for this? I came up empty. My skills... they failed me. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: TV is way too high What's crazy is that it's technically 7" below the VESA standard height based on tv size and viewing distance. I just spent more time on the VESA site than is probably reasonable. Can you point me to where there is a standard for this? I came up empty. My skills... they failed me. Yeah there is no way that's right. For my home theater and living room TV I aim for eye level at one third up from the bottom of the screen. |

Just once, I want to watch one of those HGTV home improvement shows, and have the host go "We're going to close this obnoxiously large space in a bit, by adding a wall".

I use wooden ammunition boxes for end tables.
But I like a kitchen cabinet to be light colored. White is fine. Women don’t decide on my decor.  Attached File |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Reclaimed you say. I just saw a home show where they used foam beams. One guy was wrangling a huge “beam” by himself.

Hand Hewn beams and frame prices have gone nuts because of this trend. So many of the frames and materials from the east are heading west. One guy said it is like our history is being stolen. The craziest thing is it's all usually then just used to create fake structures. Those "exposed" support members? Fake. Just reclaimed wood. Secured up to the ceiling somehow. It's a very sad indictment of so much about our culture. Reclaimed you say. I just saw a home show where they used foam beams. One guy was wrangling a huge “beam” by himself. I found myself saying “don’t break the beam, hercules” I have a country house from the 1860s, and I added a foam beam to the kitchen because the real beam is off to one side and screwed up the symmetry.

I like the farmhouse look.
In Maine, they tend to be actual farmhouses, and far from modern. I don't really care how people decorate their house. |

Mid Century Modern is superior.
