I’d love a modern house, with the detailed craftsmanship of old. Who wants a bland white wall? Give me some fancy wood details and comfy furniture with a bit of character.
Hang some shit on that wall. Paintings. Photographs. Random yard sale taxidermy.
Modern styles can still have plenty of personality. Yes, one of the modern trends is minimalism, but that’s not the only modern trend, and there are plenty of ways to explore your own sense of style within a modern sensibility.
I like having a house with really, really good insulation, with good plumbing and electrical up to 21st century fire/safety standards. I like having ducts for my central heat pump and air conditioning.
I can fill in the appearance and style stuff after that on my own.
You make a fair point, but there’s still sometime to be said about fancy parts that are a part of the house.
Instead of covering up the house with personality, I want the house itself to have personality.
(Of course, there’ll be some empty walls for whatever, gotta leave enough space for the family photos, but conveniently nowhere to hang that ulgy 5ft painting your great-aunt-in-law insited you take (she’ll admit, but she didn’t want it either))

I want a picture rail so it’s easy to hang all them things.
Best I can do is wood paneling and furniture with mystery stains.
As long as that furniture reeks of 50 years of cigarettes you’ve got a deal.
Heck, I’ll take a non-stinky couch if you throw in a wood-grain CRT TV and an NES
Hmm, that’s a hard bargain.
Are the mystery stains in funny shapes or are they just blobs?
