God I can’t wait for beige and iron work to go back out of style.
Nice Neighbor
Superdave… it is and has been out of style since the late 90’s maybe early 2000’s. I wish builders would get the memo.

If something is “out of style”, but keeps getting built, and people keep buying it, is it really out of style?
Nice Neighbor
Sure. For example.. there is an inner loop builder who builds in West U/Bellaire area who notoriously uses the travertine/iron work combo but builds big houses… they sit for a month or two and then sell at a discount to people who want to live in West U bad enough they are willing to immediately renovate. There was a house in West U, being sold by a realtor friend, that sat for about 9 months having dropped in listing from $2M to 1.5… the agent said the feedback she got was that there was too much travertine and wood everywhere.
I think there are differences in aesthetics within the different neighborhoods of Houston as well, with inner loop trending slightly more contemporary/transitional or mid-century and the burbs doing more travertine and stained wood trimmings.
Shag carpet is out of style too, but if you were to put it in a home in a hot area, it would still sell..
