The design and decorating industry picked up on the trick the fashion industry uses. You HAVE TO DO SOMETHING NEW to keep people spending money. Everything comes back around (but hopefully not shag carpet, swag lamps, and avocado appliances).

To a certain extend, we refuse to follow that fashion. If I am involved from the beginning, I try to use timeless, clean and straight line designs. You have no idea how many times I talked owners out of flip up alum doors on upper cabinets with glass inserts. Thankfully, I have not done one yet. On flips, like the one in the photo with the blue backsplash, I use the different colors and wood top to attract the fashion conscience buyers who has been bombarded by the thousands of magazines and photos of the latest trends over the net. They have been conditioned so when they walked in, they already expected it. BTW, those are custom, wood cabinets. No fillers used. Some savvy buyers notice it and my agents advertises it.
