Pre-war?

This country has been in a constant state of war since I was 14, I'm 38 now. We were out of war for like what? 6 months to a year before we started this clusterfuck?

Fuck me that's literally the exact vinyl plank flooring in my apartment right now

Huge upgrade over the carpet I had originally though... Fuck carpet

When we sold our house in the city 4 years ago, the realtor suggested we paint over our accent wall, and have all the walls in the house painted "reliable gray." Apparently that's the color that sells houses to white people.

Millennial here, I remember hunting for apartments and the staff of one place proudly said let me show you the upgraded unit. I went in and couldn't hide how I much I disliked the greyscale upgrade. They were then like well we have one unit that hasn't been upgraded. Showed me that unit and I was like "oh wow this is way better". At that point they were super angry as if they upgraded their home the same way and I just said they had the ugliest home.

why millenials have no taste - Answer in Progress (bait title: they can't afford to have taste)

Even RVs and campers are like this, its cancer. Mine was built in the early 90s and has such a awesome vibe.

This was the answer to all beige/"off white" of the preceding decades.

When you sell a house, it needs to be as generic as possible, to appeal to as many people as possible. The staging furniture is suppose to take up the style slack. Except we made all the furniture gray, too. And, cars, for some reason.

Fucking gray cars, WTH?

Gray is the color you get when you mix all colors together. It's literally the average of all colors. The least interesting, exact center of blandness. It's the definition of "normal". But, it also doesn't distract from your phone. So, that's a plus... for people trying to sell you crap.

I'm not a fan of this, but I'm also not a fan of things that are so fashionable that I will not be able to look at them after a year or 2. So... I don't know if I care enough.

I am eager for faux wood vinyl planks to go out.

I don't mind vinyl, but just find the attempt to imitate wood makes it feel obviously like cheaping out.

Ugh - I can't express how much I hate this. It's not clean or sterile, just... straight lines dingy. Eeyore as an interior design aesthetic.

Also cars. Next time you look at traffic, try to see the amount of white, gray or black cars. It must be at least 80%.

I have a nice blue volvo and it's beautiful because it has a fucking color. :)

I live in a 100 year old building and would kill for those appliances

and unlike art deco - this kind of luxury is dirt cheap.

Pre War is not good enough for such luxury. What you need is:

antebellum

"Wow, this vinyl flooring. SO Antebellum!"

It’s just missing the thinnest granite countertops you’ve ever seen.
