People who have a bench outside their home
Sliding barn doors
Huge "Farmhouse" sinks (give me a divided sink, please! )
LED lighting (this might just be a California thing since they outlawed incandescent bulbs)

Everything's gray. Some friends of mine just built a new house. Everything, all the options for the building materials were gray. They got to choose between light gray, medium gray and dark gray. So now what should be a pretty house has gray tile, gray carpet, gray washed wood floors, gray paint, gray cabinets. Literally looks like a haunted house....
And then almost everything upholstered is gray these days. Good luck finding an actual color..... I want a new chair for my home office - two choices - dove or charcoal.
No, it's not a California thing. Everything is transitioning to LED. If you really like Incandescent, you'll be able to find them but at a cost. Personally, I prefer LED -originally the quality wasn't there but it continues to get better and has surpassed incandescent unless you're buying garbage.
If you live where snow stays on the ground for extended periods those benches are a helpful place for deliveries to be placed so they don't get gross.People who have a bench outside their home
Yes! The barn doors are ugly.
Those stupid decorative signs that tell you what to do in each room. Like “EAT” for the kitchen, “WASH YOUR HANDS” for the bathroom and my favorite, “LIVE LAUGH LOVE” everywhere else.
CFL's are still legal here in California. Personally, I'd take LED over CFL, I don't like the type of light CFLs give off. California is kind of late to the game, the incandescent bulbs were only banned here in 2020. The switch has it's roots in the Federal Energy Independence and Security Act signed by then President Bush in 2007. We remodeled in 2013-14 and LEDs were all the contractors would use then.LED lighting (this might just be a California thing since they outlawed incandescent bulbs)
I don't understand this. How were they only given these choices for a home THEY PAID to have built? I get it if you are building a spec home, but if I was paying a contractor to build me a house, it would dang sure be the colors I wanted, and if I wanted purple ceilings, there would be purple freaking ceilings. Or I'd find another contractor.Everything's gray. Some friends of mine just built a new house. Everything, all the options for the building materials were gray.
