There are some things in houses that I can't stand. I recognize the right that some people have to like those things but that doesn't mean that I have to like it also or to pretend that I like, just because most people do.
So now I will say what are those things.
1 - Open space concept.
I can't stand it !!! I usually say that I dont't hate anybody but as this is not a person, just a thing, I think I can say: I hate it the most my soul can bare to hate something.
It comes to my mind that the person is so poor that can't afford a proper house so he bought a warehouse and dumped everything he had in that. No walls, no doors, a mix of livingroom, diningroom, entrance, hall and kitchen all in the same chaos.
I like walls, rooms, doors, corners, cozy feeling and privacy.
No, to have children is not an excuse, I had several and I could be in the kitchen and them in other room near by. Yes, I couldn't see them but I could ear them. When children are silent, something wrong is happening, unless they are sleeping. So, provided that I could ear them, I could be in the litchen or another room, there was no need for knocking down walls and have everything in a big, amourfous open plan.
2 - No walls and door between the kitchen and the dining room and living/familyroom.
A house has rooms: bedrooms, livingroom/familyroom, diningroom, litchen, bathrooms, halls and so on.
One thing is the kitchen, another is the livingroom.
The exception I can accept, if I have to, is to put together the livingroom and the diningroom. That is the most I can have, more than that, is not possible for me.
3 - Very high ceilings, in such a way that, instead of having two floors, one has only one.
Such a waste of space ! And the look of it it's most unpleasent too. I can't stand it.
4 - To transform churches, big or small, in homes, restaurants, libraries, you name it.
That really gets on my nerves! That, for me - and not only for me - it's the ultimate abomination. How can people sleep and eat in a worship place ? No, it was not a worship place in the past, it is always.
5 - Modern decoration.
Cold, not cozy, nude, minimalist.
That's true, people has the right to like all those things I can't stand and present it as a beautiful thing. The same way I have the right to not like it and tell the world that I think those are ugly things. It's just that I am sick and tired to see it presented as the only right way to do it.
