[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One solution is to not buy one of these cookie-cutter awful soulless homes.  Lemme guess, brick front and vinyl sides?  (To clarify, my vitriol is for this layout, not you, OP.)

How is there anyone in the US who doesn't know exactly what she's describing?  Everyone I know lives in one, and they all have the same layout, to the extent that I can't remember where events were held because everyone's home is identical.

Formal, unused living room on the left.  Ugly cluttered office on the right.  Formal dining room connected to formal living room.  Kitchen and family room in the back.  You couldn't pay me.[/quote]

What an odd thing to express vitriol over. If the house doesn't have soul and is ugly and cluttered with unused space, that is on the owners.

I've certainly been in the homes you describe and most are quite ugly but thats because I have a bunch of friends who seem convinced that having a cluttered home without any sort of design sense goes hand-in-hand with having young kids. And honestly, most friends we know in more historic homes treat their houses in the same way. I don't really care, though such a living situation wouldn't be for me, but what your home looks like is all about personal preferences and priorities. (And often budget, to state the obvious.)[/quote]
