Country Decor (I hate wooden signs, cornflower blue, country pink, rustic ewww)
even we poor people in our "cheap" houses are allowed to have a nice foyer. Personally I hate walking in the front door and already being in the living room.

Decorative columns. Because unless you're doing full-blown Greek Revival they are hideous and utterly wrong. This goes double for the interior decorative columns, which seem to frequently be made out of plastic.

Brick and stucco combined in the same elevation unless you're specifically doing a mock Tudor look, which is the only time those two materials should be combined, IMO.

Default I wish _______ would go out of style

Mc Mansions (it seems I'm getting my wish too )

Giant garages with houses attached

Cheap looking faux decorative stuff

Wall to wall carpet

Large copper decorative stars

8 lane freeways lined with billboards

Flowering pear trees

Huge chemically enhanced lawns

Anything made in china

Mortgages that cost double the origional loan amount and collect all the interest up front

Television home and garden programs/networks

Colorful statues of buffalos (maybe this is a local thing )

Vocal, whiny people who think their sense of beauty and style are better than everyone else's
