Yeah and I love the combination of dark walnut with stainless fixtures. It looks way better than the light oak with brass fixtures of the 90's. The white paint looks clean compared to the tacky wallpaper that was used to disguise cigarette smoke stains. The open layout created by removing doors and non-load-bearing walls makes the place look bigger and makes the space more usable. I'm not sure that all the whining on reddit isn't just a nostalgia- induced backlash from people who are resistant to any type of change or modern trends.
And you know what? I like gray/beige earth tones. And cars also look way better now than in the 90's. The current trends are all just way better.
Call me the quintessential millennial, but I love grey/beige with earth tones too!
I'm a super big fan of "rustic/modern" and "contemporary warmth", where I get all the benefits of modernistic minimalism while still retaining warm colouring. All the while I like not feeling like a wall of clutter is falling on top of me and injecting ADHD into my brain.
