(((modern design))) is the realm of hipster faggots. I agree on oldschool European stuff being awesome.

Gotta rant a little bit. I’ve been doing construction/ remodeling my whole life. But I’ve been noticing a big trend over the past year or two where the homeowner wants to be hyper involved in the whole process of remodeling their house, to the point where they are a detriment to the job itself. I absolutely want them involved in the stylistic decisions and picking out colors etc. But they don’t wanna just see a finished product anymore and be happy about it, or even be able to point out the things they want to fix at the end of the job. They want to be there every day and be integrated into the process. This wouldn’t be a bad thing if they knew what the fuck they were even talking about, but they have a laundry list of things they want done when I show up to the job the next day and can’t accept that somebody who’s been doing in their whole goddamn life might know what the hell he’s doing. Things are done in a certain order for a reason. Nail holes don’t get filled till the end. The trim gets caulked after it’s installed and there may be some gaps that will get filled. Or even worse they just decide that they don’t like the flooring that we’ve already put down that they picked and just expect we’re going to redo it in between commercial breaks. That isnt how this works . They think they are experts because they watch a fucking TV show every night. People need to turn off the goddamn TVs and let people do their job. Now that I own my own business I’m starting to hate people more than I ever have. Don’t get me wrong, some people are super cool and and pleasant to deal with. But goddamn do these people love to feel like they are Joanna Gaines when we’re coming to do some minor bullshit in their dilapidated house.
