Oh now... Derek, there are many pretty average homes here on this blog. They, like you or I, are just looking for a little boost for their homes.

Try searching the ideabooks as opposed to browsing photos. Also search "small". I think there are a lot of relatively normal homes here - remember professional photography makes a big difference.

That's actually funny. I have been reading this site for a long time. My thoughts were....if I see one more white kitchen...it would be nice to have sooo much money!!! BUT, I get so many great ideas from the pictures, but mostly the other readers. Get in on some of the discussions. Lamborghini? Heck I just want an old VW bus to redo....my poor husband. Lol

I've read lots of design dilemmas from people on a very low budget.

I was drawn to your title Finding a Medium. I personally enjoy predicting what the trends will be, but I don't use the departed to do it.
