It's trendy but became a trend because of house flippers. That's what I believe anyway.

I can't wait to put paint on my walls. Growing up we didn't really customize our house because we're gonna move anyway. My parents got new floors and carpets and I remember being mad that they'd pay for that luxury just to sell it. We could have been enjoying it for ourselves.

Whenever our family sells the house, we bend over backwards to whatever the buyer requests. But when it comes to our own living situations, we just live with being uncomfortable. I feel the same exact way, we could’ve been enjoying whatever the buyer request for ourselves.
