I know a few younger relatives and friends' children who have bought older houses recently, done them up and invited us in to see them.
While they're all very stylish, I never feel any of them are genuinely warm and comfortable homes. Bare floorboards with no rugs, black leather chairs and couches, laboratory type grey and steel kitchens, brand new ikea furniture throughout with no old bits and pieces to give a sense of family continuity...
I know tastes change and younger people want something different, but is it just me who finds a lot of newly refurbished homes quite cold and bland nowadays? And to think it's a pity to see so many old houses become 'neutralised'?
Have any of you got all electric cars? Pros and cons please.
