Of all the terrible houses I've visited with a realtor this autumn, the ones I've liked best have been the ones with 70s wood paneling. Much better than gray, beige, or Star Destroyer White, which is the interior color of the house I will be living in. :shrug:

all anything is terrible, just mention brown is what's trending right now. brown could be a wide range of things though, my new all paint is white with a brown undertone, which is obviously much different than my "medium oak" floor, and much different than my chocolate brown countertops. But I have plenty of other color as well.

loving farmhouse

https://www.bustle.com/life/farmhouse-aesthetic-suburbs

quote:

But why the farmhouse? The United States, a former agricultural colony, has always had a nostalgia for rural life that makes its way into broader culture in a variety of forms, and the idea that rural life is somehow more honest and inherently American than urban life is a powerful trope that has become only more politicized since the Reagan administration. But the original farmhouses, the nameless, vernacular wood-framed buildings that can still be seen dotting the landscapes of the South and Midwest, were humble, meant to shelter from the elements and nurture the life within and nothing more. The modern farmhouse is a status symbol with a facade of humble, plucky folksiness. It is the Yeti cooler of houses.

Besides, can an open-plan kitchen with a barn-height ceiling bring an aura of casual realness to suburbia? Perhaps, but it requires 3,500 square feet, and green space is dwindling. New developments of modern farmhouses sit on postage-stamp-sized lots. When you look outside, all you see are other modern farmhouses. It’s no different than any other large suburban home — it’s the same house, just in a new costume. It makes sense for it to be this way; after all, we’re talking about a concept that’s salable, and renovation is much easier if you can just swap out one type of cabinetry for another. Soon, and not soon enough, the modern farmhouse will grow old, just like its predecessors, and our media overlords will have no problem feeding us the next big thing in 30-minute increments, packed into slow TV nights when there’s not much else to watch.

Ok, yeah, that's pretty swank. I think it's a combination of enough red to avoid the 70s life-in-a-breadbox look, and enough detail to be interesting. But seriously, what the hell is that box?

Before the white void fad there was an everything earth tones fad that I still associate with my parents and my friends' parents.

Looks like a "smoke eater" or air purifier of some sort. They were popular for awhile when you could still smoke in bars or restaurants, as if a lovely $1,000 box with a fan and a filter could hope to suck up the smoke from a bar full of winos chain smoking pall malls.

This particularly rapid💨 unintelligible 😖patter💁 isn't generally heard🧏‍♂️, and if it is🤔, it doesn't matter💁.


I was about to bitch about cleaning all the tile in the Redonda Drive bathroom, but holy moly would it be worth it for the Los Feliz bathroom. Spanish revival makes my heart go pitty-pat, and that's absolutely top-of-the-line 1920s bathroom decoration (minus the weird white sink). I've seen ads for those bathrooms, but never the real thing.

e: My first thought about the hanging box was subwoofer.

"This is the ZEN ambiance that you have been waiting for! "

My neighbor is a Soto Zen Buddhist. She has been to rural Japan many times to spend several months in a monastery. The extravagance of that home is the complete opposite of what Buddhism stands for.
