Claire, this is fantastic. I'm laughing so hard a coworker checked on me.
We're starting to plan a kitchen remodel and have met with two different male, child-free contractors. Both have responded to requests with, "Well, that's not really in style. But it's your kitchen..."

It's great to know what's in style now so that we can look forward to five years from now being like lollll remember when we were all open concept and kitchen island and statement lighting? What rubes we were!!!
can i just yell an AMEN to hatred of the open concept kitchen?? i want to be in my kitchen doing my thing, listening to MY music...get the hell out everyone!! instead, stupid open concept kitchen, i am inundated by everyoneтАЩs noise and the TV and if ONE more male comes in and turns off my Taylor Swift while i am cooking THEM dinner....well, heads are going to roll
Yes! It's a nightmare--and not one of my own design. We bought this house a year ago and I'm going to have barn doors installed when we finally renovate so that I can enclose my space when I need it most.
thank you, yes! we had our hardwood floors refinished, and one day my contractor's wife SHOWED UP at my front door to take me through my own house and explain that I should really bleach the wood because "white hardwood is really in style rn." Well F that. I want old-school honey colored wood, TYVM!
We interviewed 4 contractors before hiring our current one. He was the only one who spoke to ME and didn't ask if I needed my husband to make a final decision. Infuriating but apparently super common!
