100% Disagree. The design and architecture of a specific era will reflect that time and space. Are we to keep the jewel-tone colors, ornate lace, and uncomfortable furniture in these older homes? The gas lamps? The knob-and-tube wiring? Who draws the line on when something should remain pure or it's gone too far? These glass railings, greige floors, simplified fireplaces, waterfall kitchen islands, and so on are trends that twenty years from now may elicit the same responses for future renovators as Harvest Gold and Avocado appliances and shag. Old homes are updated, just as today's homes, even the beautiful hand-crafted ones, will be 100 years from now. Get over it.
