[b]White walls with dark trim[/b]
Those coffee tables that are basically giant ottomans
Tufted/fabric headboards, especially if they look like wing chairs 
Decorators talking about "a pop of color" 
Inspirational sayings or kids names stenciled on walls
Having an island in your walk-in closet
Snout houses (houses with a front-load garage that sticks out farther than the rest of the house)[/quote]

+1 for Snout Houses...absloutely hideous architecture and I hate them...some with the 3-car garage are really gross.  Most production builders (particularly NV Homes)
have these models as their staple product.  I once spoke to an architect friend about it and he mentioned this config allows builders to build a single
box with the garage in front of the kitchen and mud room...[/quote]

With you on everything except the ottoman coffee tables and fabric headboards... We have two under two, which includes a very active toddler and a baby that's about to start exploring, and we currently err on the side of buying as much soft furniture as possible.  [/quote]

I also think white walls and dark trim has to come off the list because the Shakers did it so good. I want to add "spa-like" bathrooms. It's only "spa-like" to me if it comes with attendants and laundry service.

Yeah, I love white walls with dark trim. Hate dark gray walls with white trim.[/quote]
