1- entertaining How often do people really "entertain"? What's wrong with saying "company" or "visitors"...
2- granite countertops and stainless steel Ugh...get over it already
3- hatred of carpet I can't even, it's so ridiculous
I'd love to see some people on the show with different tastes. It gets so repetitive, and as much as I like the show, sometimes I just can't take it anymore.
And at what point does "dated" become "vintage"? I grew up in the 1950s and would not want my home to look like the house I was raised in, yet somehow, that style is now "Mid-Century Modern" and highly desirable.
I'd like to be a pessimist, but this is a luxury I cannot afford.βJoseph of Cordoba
Yeah! And what I'm always wondering, what happens when you turn on the blender or mixer? Aren't the people talking or trying to watch the game going to be annoyed?
My mom raised 5 kids and a picky-eater husband spending most of her time in a small, dark kitchen. You do what you have to. But then Depression Era parents learned not to complain.
I hate when people are in their early to mid twenties, spending $500,000 (which they probably don't have), and have to have it perfect right now. Or the people in their 50s and 60s that are spending $2,000,000 for a vacation home, and can't find one that suits them? How fast we became so greedy and self absorbed
Okay, no stainless steel appliances....they will come in time if you still like them. I have them and hate them....
Must have hardwood floors....okay, so a good quality laminate is down...live with it
Granite countertops....laminates and tile can't make as good of food as granite can
Must have an en suite....the Walton's had 11 people living in the house with one bathroom....you can get a little extra exercise by walking the extra six feet and use one of the three other bathrooms in the house
How often are dual sinks in the Master necessary. Do you always do a sychronized swimming thing in the bathroom getting ready?
Each of the four children must have their own large bedrooms? Maybe if they were paired up in rooms, they would learn to adapt and to compromise
I have to live within walking distance of bars/restaurants/shopping, but don't you dare show me a home where I hear traffic or I can see the neighbors
The answer to why so many people say what they want is for resale value. Laminate cheapens not only the appearance, but the quality as well. Any kids shouldn't have to share rooms if their parents can afford a large enough home.
I lived in 5 bedroom house when I was a kid and still shared a room til I was 14. There were only 3 kids. You know who needs their own huge bedroom...brats.

LOVE my granite, but when it's time to replace my appliances, I will find an alternative to stainless. I'm convinced that there is absolutely no way to clean them.

I agree, especially when they tear out a newly-remodeled kitchen because the cabinets are the wrong color. At that point I'd buy another house or learn to live with it. What a wasteful society we are becoming.

YES!
And I'm starting to loathe the phrase "teen space". It sounds like an old Disney tv series with Hillary Duff as an apprentice astronaut.
