All Design should be about pushing boundaries though.
FBD,
My wife and I just remodeled the kitchen, 2nd time in 15 years. For design elements, I was shooting for this go-around being centered on more timeless, traditional designs in an attempt to make this the last time we go through this trouble. But, as I was explaining my goals of not getting caught up in trends and wanting this to last a lifetime(design-wise), a friend of mine replied “Good luck with that”. All that is to say that you are likely right with your above statement.
