Better than the Spanish/Tuscany/colonial/greek hodgepodge that was all the rage prior to the current craftsman/farmhouse rage.
It gets ugly when people with the hodgepodge update by adding farmhouse to the hodgepodge.

I will take modern farmhouse over that awful oak everything look that from a while back.
The only thing that bugs me about modern farmhouse is the farmhouse sink. I don't want to see the front of the sink. |

Once a trend reaches this level of notice and complaint, it is going to be on the way out.
I saw this shit starting YEARS ago in GA, on expensive homes (it works well in large spaces and with quality parts)..... But now it is being used on cookie cutter shit homes. That is the death knell of a trend. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: My house is grey inside, but that's because i have 18' ceilings and tons of windows. Darker colors are useful for contrast in big bright rooms. Then again, I also have really nice cofferred ceilings and trim work too, so it all works well together. We mounted our TV lower down at eye level for more comfortable viewing. We also keep a cover on it.  |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I've told my wife that "Farm house" means really shitty paint/finish job from what I can tell. That if she wants to decorate a room or the house as "Farmhouse" then I'm gonna do some "Farmhouse" drywall and flooring work. I made this to replace one of those kid gates, we use it to keep the dogs out of most of the house. The finish actually took a lot of work. It would have been easier just to paint it white.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Farmhouse is a rejection of 80s-90s Maximalist Mcmansion. Maximalist is a rejection of Midcentury, which came about due to shortages of traditional building materials in Europe post WWII. Anyway, Midcentury had some very practical and cool design themes, and I also can't wait until Farmhouse is relegated to history. This, end thread |

I like the trend towards gray colors, it blends well with my gray beard. I was tired of the 1990’s trend of various shades of tans/neutral browns and greens.
My favorite color of gray used to be Confederate gray, but no one calls it that anymore due to feelz. It also used to called rebel gray, but some criminal pedophile used that as his screen name on arfcom. F’er spoiled that name for everyone. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: WTF is non mitered trim? Trying to envision it but can't. It's the simple boxing in of windows and doors with casing that is the same on all 3 or 4 sides with all corners mitered. That vs actual traditional trim styles where the only miters are outside corners of the base boards. Not sure how that is an upgrade. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Simple principle - avoid fake anything - wood, distressed, fur, art, etc. Avoid trends. Most of us who think we do still get caught up in them. Every trend usually has some elements worth adapting, but don't get carried away on the latest "themes" marketed on TV. True. Avoid trends. They always fad to the next trend. Pick what you like and go with it. My preference is Mid-Century Modern and somewhat minimalistic. Your preferences may differ. On a side note, most people can't decorate for shit. Men admit it. Women won't. |

The worst "trend" that sucks in real life is the open floor plan.
Pushed every time on HGTV, and bragged about in listings. No. Open floor plans limit privacy and are EXTREMELY loud. If you want to try to watch TV while your spouse is 8 feet behind you in the "kitchen area" running a mixer or even running water in the sink, good luck to you. Walls have purpose. Especially with controlling sound. |
