I wish _______ would go out of style (open floor plan, counters, tiles)

None. K'ledgeBldr wants Star Trek doors. You know, the kind that just magically open and close.

let me add: those skinny pine tree looking things and "brick" landscape edging things

That's possible. Especially those imported from Italy, Norway, Iran, Spain or Egypt are pretty rare and expensive.
Here is a nice web page about it:

Low pants showing butt crack

Oh wait, house style...

Pretentious, tasteless, or badly designed façades.

BTW: why many houses are build with the front completely different than the back??

Oak cabinets. I know people love their oak but after looking at newer construction, every dang house had the same medium oak colored cabinets with beige flooring.

I am also tired of vessel bowl sinks. At first I thought they were kind of cool but now the home improvement stores sell them like mad. Now you can buy kits with a vessel bowl on top of some cheap pressed wood bathroom cabinet. It looks awful and unpractical unless its in a half bath. How do you brush your teeth with one them sinks?

I ditto on the frontal garages. All you see is the garage, and many times you have to look for the door that people would go in through. Houses are for people, people! Geez.
I also ditto on Oak cabinets and tree less subdivisions.
Elnina - They do it because it's cheaper. People want a brick house, but cannot afford it and still have the Mcmansions of their dreams, so instead of getting a better designed house, smaller perhaps, they'll go with the brick front, and the rest is vinyl.

Big electrical boxes in the front yard is another one.

Are you kidding?? I wish oak cabinets would come back IN! That's what I have, and they are excellent quality. I can't afford to change them anyway, so I wish they were in style.
