[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grey and white is classic and timeless, we've been building homes like this for thousands of years. Is the faux brick or Mediterranean Disney world palaces that's fake and trendy. Stick with Craftsman grey and white, open floorplan , medium dark wood ffloors, white cabinets, light granite or quartz without busy patterns and you'll be fine and ride out any of the attempted trends that last 3-5 years.[/quote]

Grey and white colors are not considered "classic and timeless".  Moreover, there is no such thing as "Craftsman grey and white".  True Craftsman houses have natural materials such a REAL wood moldings, doors and window trim that are stained, not painted.  True Craftsman colors are actually more muted earth tones, such as browns and greens.  What you've described is a pre-fab mcmansion with a sorry attempt to look like a Craftsman. [/quote]

Greys have been around for a long time.

Take a look at some classic Craftsman houses such as the Gamble house or the Stickley Museum and then tell me how much grey and white you see in those houses.  Then get back to us on what is is "timeless".  [/quote]
