BRRRRR

The 2000′s had a big return to modern styling. This may seem like it will never leave, & it’s ok to invest $4000 in countertops. Maybe it is, maybe this is the new classic look. What are your thoughts on it? Here are some things indicative of this type of style.

1. Clean lines. Not a curve in sight. On furniture, on cabinetry, on lamps. Everywhere.

2. Stainless Steel appliances. It suddenly has become the norm to pay several thousand dollars for a fridge or stove when most people still don’t cook.

3. Bowl sinks. You know those cool sinks that sit above the vanity? I love these, but I think this will become the most outdated & people will just want their sinks to be back in the countertop. This is one of the biggest trends that I think will just be a fad.

4. Hardwood floors. Once again, only the best for this modern style. I think a lot of these are classic & will last forever. I think that bamboo floors look awesome, but I think they will become dated very quickly.

6. Granite. Absolutely everyone must have a granite countertop. It goes with the stainless steel appliances. Again, most of these people don’t cook.

7. Squares on walls. I don’t know who first started painting these, but they’ve become big. It’s also true for art work. There are so many people with the painting that is just two blocks of color with a white stripe in between.

I think the problem with this look is that in a few years it will be construed as "cold’ & people will be rushing out to buy an avocado stove. However, tomorrow I will post about how to get this look & keep it classic.
