Good Lord. Now we’re becoming HGTV sensitive.
hahaha right?
HGTV is entertainment, advertising, and not much more. In few circumstances does anyone renovate property to the level showed on those shows. As property owners we would go completely broke following the designs, materials, and budgets described on TV. It’s not conducive to real life.
We renovated our own house. We plan on living in it until we die or go to assisted living. Therefore, we chose colors and furniture that we liked. Most people would cringe at what we picked out. But what mattered is that we liked it. We picked out pastels for walls (pink, lavender, blue, lime, and peach) and florals for curtains. I’m grateful my husband likes these colors because I know most men wouldn’t put up with it.
My wife and I spent two years finding our current home and looked at a lot of options, both new and renovated, and the prevalence of gray is astounding. Gray, gray, gray – everything is gray (or is it grey?). It’s not only boring, it’s a cold color, not at all inviting. It’s a terrible trend. Blah.
