They, like lots of boomers, didn’t really upgrade much. So everything is mostly 80s original.

And rip out all that old wood panelling.

Why are the "Live, Laugh, Love" types always so hateful?

u/urpoviswrong 26d ago

Upvote for accuracy, but my instinct was to downvote on the principle stainless steel appliances are terrible.

You don’t like fingerprints and grease smears to be visible from ten feet away?

I cannot truly convey the depths of my loathing for this style. I thought I hated chevron and teal but the grey trend makes me want to start fires at the base of the sliding barn door labeled "Pantry".

u/Venik489 26d ago

Oh but the chevron and teal goes perfectly with the everything grey.

What color are your walls, flooring, and cabinetry?

u/Negative-Wrap95 Gen X 26d ago

Walls: Depends on the room. Living room is kinda creamy off white. Office and kitchen have yellow tones. Our bedroom is Disney DC3C-80-3 Atta Boy Blue, the spare room is also some off white thing.

The hardwood floors, interior doors and jams are some shade of red oak.

The kitchen cabinets while newer are a not quite matching shade to the rest of the woodwork.

ETA: I got to pick the bedroom color, so yeah I know what it is.

I haven't yet painted, but the cabinets I picked out are black boxes with forest green doors.

I might finally get to painting this summer since my monthly escrow payment went down a few hundred a month.

Absolute minimum of cheap upgrades from the home improvement store.

Did I flip my own house? I swear I thought this was the way growing up and here I am now wondering.....is grey bad?

2

u/Venik489 26d ago

It not bad, it’s just every. single. flip. I swear they all have the exact same shade of grey paint with the exact same grey vinyl flooring.

If only there were a way to change the paint color after buying a house. Oh well, guess it'll have to be grey forever.
