Our old house. They destroyded it.


BEFORE
Me and my sister, circa 1998





AFTER
2007. Wtf is that zen shit doing on the gate?


I don't know if it would have cost my grandparents more to maintain the house than to remove all those pretty carvings and columns. Also, they had a pool built in the front--which would have been awesome IF WE STILL LIVED THERE. Now it's being rented to Americans or something.

Bah. Nobody likes keeping old things anymore. Everyone wants their stuff shiny and silver and zen. ZEN. I fucking hate that trend; it's the most goddamn pretentious thing in architecture. Houses should look like houses and have triangular roofs. They shouldn't look like soulless glass buildings with harsh 90-degree angles. Wtf is wrong with people today?

Lulz. I'm cool with the minimalist thing if it's done right. *peers* Your old house looked better though. It's not meant to be Zennified.

I'd like the new look... if I didn't know how it looked like before. As it is, the old one works better with that kind of house. .-.

...T_T sad! I liked the old one better! It was pretty!!! ::flails::

I tend to agree, houses nowadays don't have that much personality. It's like there's a big House Factory somewhere, where everything has been pre-molded, tweaked a little, and then plopped onto a lot without so much as a by-your-leave. ::bemoans your old house::

I can't see it clearly, but were the french windows walled up? I love houses with full length windows.

I definitely like the old look better... there's so much more depth to it than the modern zen look.
