Yeah I also love color and warmth.

Every new home ive seen is harsh, brittle, and boring. In sound and visuals (new homes often sound awful to have conversations in)

For me, I’d never buy a house newer than the 80s, or if i did, I’d be redoing the whole thing. Nothing has character anymore becuase we are all supposed to be neutered and devoid of standing out or having feelings. Same with all cars being grey or white. Different is scary. And theres a a certain political class gaining traction in the world that also hates things that are different from them. Its really all part of a larger problem as a society , IMO.

Sorry, went too deep.
