MINI's Top Executive Says No Smaller Model On the Horizon, Roadster Concept Still Under Discussion

Yeah, I like natural woods where possible..not too dark and gloomy.  Brick or stonework around fireplaces (not painted!)... the whole paint everything shades of gray or black aesthetic is so not me.     I also don't like everything bright white..the hospital aesthetic isn't for me either.  Or austere unfinished concrete walls..I've seen that in some modern design houses, hideous IMO.

While both my kids are into this black / industrial grey color palette, they grew up in a very warm home as all our furniture is natural dark oak, tan colored carpets and I even let them choose the paint color for their rooms kind of, which my son went with industrial grey for an accent wall, but the rest I painted warm white. Daughter went with a gold accent wall. So, the whole black / grey thing was never a big part of their life, so must be a younger person's rebellion thing maybe. Over all, the trend to have all fake wood floors which I find very cold is also not me, plush carpet and a proper quality rubber matt below the carpet as we sit on the ground Asian style allot. So warm and comfy.

Here's how I roll on this: Parchment colored (warm color palette) wall paint, white raised panel doors and white baseboard, white ceiling, wood flooring or tan colored deep pile carpeting depending on the room, and mill work in kitchens, bathrooms, and niches, if you have any, in a medium shade like maple or thereabouts. I like a warm color palette and wood stains throughout a dwelling to make it feel homey. Eternal and safe - may not be the trendiest, but won't jump out as out of style, either.

Idiot47 is so stupid as he taxes us to be more expensive than Canada which used to always be more expensive on cars than the U.S.  Now you want the hottest, latest all new Honda Hybrid, pay $7,000 more than those in Canada.
