To be honest, I couldn’t care less what the inside of someone else’s house looks like. I like granite and two-story family rooms ... and I don’t have a fundamental problem with the “McMansion”.

The trend that really has to go is overfinancing a house you can’t afford ... 30-year financing, with features you can’t afford, an adjustable interest rate, and a balloon payment nobody can afford.

Buy within your means. Pay it off fast. Features and decorating should be to your taste.

Not about choices, about trends. Just try to design a kitchen that isn’t ‘Tuscan’. My kitchen remains in limbo because we aren’t trendy.

Every two-story family room I've ever been in sounded like a barn. I couldn't whisper without an echo.
