re: #125 Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus
The issue with so much house construction and remodeling is that designers want to put their mark on things, and that almost always means a “look”. Damn the other sense, damn the real function, it’s “style” that they are after.
I still remember some house renovation show (maybe ’90s or early ’00s?) where the designer put HAY as in “is for horses” on the wall in the living room as some sort of design statement. This pretty much says how I feel about house designers.
