  If you didn't want a vintage house why did you buy one?
context: I'm more annoyed by house flipping companies doing this bullshit. 
  Step 1: Use your capital to outbid individual home buyers on a cheap $150k historic home 
  Step 2: strip out or cover up all of the historic features, paint all of the walls a cool grey, install subway tile everywhere, glaze all of the showers.
  Step 3: Put it immediately back on the market noting the "upgrades" for $250k
  Step 4: An individual owner buys the thing and has to spend $50k undoing all of the damage. >
  
  I fully agree with this sentiment, mostly because you should leave the choices of a homes looks and complete remodeling for the perspective buyer, and house flippers tend to be very generic to fit a baseline audience. I can see someone wanting to modernize an older home while keeping key aspects of the home in tact. 
  I get more upset when people see homeowners removing things they don't care for and crying foul that they didn't maintain 100% authenticity of every inch of the home. For instance, I love stained glass and high ceilings, but not everyone may like stained glass. They can still buy the home because they love the high ceilings and beams, but don't have to keep the stained glass if they really don't like it.
