Houzz survey on kitchen trends
Comments (14)Too white for me. Not my cup of tea at all, but that's just me. The house has to work together - in a unified whole. If the white works in that house and for the people that live there, then that should be what matters. Not whether or not it's "trendy". On a somewhat related note - we're close to drywall on our house. Mechanicals are going in this week. Yesterday I did a job walk with the guy that's in charge of our tile job. He said that he's seen a lot of "different" houses in his line of work - different as in "strange". He said that ours is going to be different in a terrific way. Of course, he hasn't actually seen some aspects of our house yet - has only seen drawings of the kitchen, heard about the lighting, etc. But he still kept stopping his planning work to look at our rooms. I was flattered! He has a good eye for design, too, from what I've seen of his work. Trends are okay, I guess, as long as they *work* for the house. I've gone to Houzz for basic ideas, but I've brainstormed to come up with specifics that work for us and our house. Although I realize that not everyone has - or would want to have - a virtually blank slate for their house (sometimes it's kind of a pain!)....See MoreAnother new trends list
Comments (40)Angles, thanks, but my kids go to college four or more years early, are happy and successful, are healthy, and they adore each other and have great relationships with their parents. They're usually so well behaved that I'm used to getting stopped by strangers telling me how wonderful it is that my kids clearly love each other so much. So glad you were so skilled at raising two easy children. It will be hilarious if/when a difficult one shows up in the line, or if a previously easy child has a hard time when they hit teen years. If your daughter's child were BOTH mean enough to throw sand and smart enough to connect "going home" with "throwing sand," she would have now worked out a perfect way to manipulate her mom into going home exactly when she wanted the next time she was bored. Going home isn't natural consequences for sand throwing. A child who is deeply affected by her mother's disapproval will not throw sand after a major show of disapproval. A child who isn't very bright might perceive being removed from the party as punishment and not be smart enough to realize it could later be turned to her advantage. Leaving the party is either unnecessary or simply counterproductive, depending in the child's intelligence and personality. If the child wouldn't try to pitch a fit, I would stand or sit the kid in a corner. If the child would, we would go home--for additional punishment, such as standing in the corner there. Nice and boring for a good long while. The punishment--because that's what it is; calling it something else is delusional--would escalate with each repetition of the unwanted behavior. Now, that said, none of my kids were mean enough to have a phase where they tried to hurts someone for more than a couple of weeks--with the most externalizing child, repeated three times, unfortunately. The natural consequences for throwing sand are getting sand in your eyes or alienating all the other children. Going home actually isn't one. Not at all....See MoreMy style is now a trend rant
Comments (63)@Jenn, In europe houses are built out of concrete. Walls, floors, ceilings, and its doesn't matter where you live. Tornado's or hurricanes wouldn't do anything to them. When the housing market crashed in america in 2007, investors tried to go over seas to starts building the garbage they build in america. European governments didn't want that garbage there. Some slipped through the cracks but they put a stop to it real fast. America's building codes are to barley hold the house up. They crumble like a deck of cards and people keep rebuilding over and over again. Lots of $$$$$$ in that market. Europeans have a different mentality and they build things to last. I live in west chicago suburbs. My neighbors saw my house being build and till this day they still tell me they thought a bunker was being built. LOL!!! In America its hard to even find a contractor that can do the things they do in europe. Custom homes are expensive in america cause heck, if people are willing to pay a ton of money for a pile of crap, then of course a custom build is gonna be expensive. Another thing, if your outside during a tornado or hurricane then you deserve to get smacked in the face with a brick. lol...See MoreJust did a Parade of Homes tour...my thoughts on current trends
Comments (56)Those are all beautiful rooms, Holly. I think part of the problem with both beige and gray as trendy colors is how they are used. When you see a gray room without any contrast, color or texture, it's too much. The same goes for relentlessly beige and tan rooms I have seen, filled with brown leather sofas and not an once of color to relive the tedium. People who are not as attuned to interiors as say designers or decorating amateurs see a Joanna Gains gray interior, but they miss all the other parts that make the room work. The color is easy to pick out for everyone, the details, which make the design work blend into the background for those who dod not look at interiors a lot, or critically....See MoreUser
