Dukket posted:Sherwin-WIlliams color of the year for 2018 I dig the SW color, been thinking about a color similar to that in our new dining room (we'll have judges panelling painted white on the bottom half of the walls so it wouldn't be full height). Gonna wait till after we move in though so I can get a better feel for the place.

One time I visited my mom to find this monstrosity texture in her bathroom. She goes, "Looks cool right? A guy at lowes told my I can just take joint compound and a putty knife and make a pattern!" Maybe if I was a good son I'd rip all the walls out and put up new material but I'll let her have her fun since I don't live there.

Wait so is it texture in general or those specific textures that they have a problem with?

Jaded Burnout posted:Since it sounds like a long running thing perhaps start a thread? That way you won't feel like you're entirely on your own even if it's just a peanut gallery. I will consider all of this. I didn't know it was possible to make a thread, and the idea scares me a little, but if there's interest I might try it. It'd also keep me from clogging up this thread as things get going, I guess. Especially since there are also exterior things like the front door that I could use advice on. I'll have to make sure I can keep up with regular updates first, though. And thanks so much for the recommendations! One of the things I'm most worried about is making a huge sweaty mess-- I'm reluctant to even unpack anything, thinking it'll just be in the way. If I can reasonably keep things contained to one room at a time, though, that's a huge relief.

Variable 5 posted:Wait so is it texture in general or those specific textures that they have a problem with? Artex is a bitch to get off the walls and the early stuff was made with asbestos, which in the UK means you need to get specialists out to get rid of it and iirc you can’t get a mortgage on a house if it is known to contain aspestos. Like anything if a pro does it and does it right it can look ok, I had a hallway once which had properly done artexing in uniform rainbow/half circle shapes and it was fine, this current hallway has had someoned come along with a pallet knife and go nuts. Then there are the designs that are abrasive. These are a bad and wrong thing to voluntarily put in your home.

Texturing is generally easier and faster to apply than it is to get drywall joints that are smooth and flat, and therefore it is cheaper. Properly feathering out a drywall joint takes 4-5 passes, as opposed to the two-ish you can get away with if you're texturing the surface instead. None of this knowledge will allow me to forgive or abide popcorn ceilings, but I'm fine with a light texture.

I actually don't hate it, and when unilluminated it's fairly understated. Unfortunately, the Venn diagram including "people who are going to look good in that" does not intersect with "stocky forty year-old man," so I think I'll skip that unless my midlife crisis involves a woman half my age. As terrible as it would probably look, I'd prefer red illumination so I could take a bath without destroying my night vision, but the simpler solution to that is "turn a light on, nerd."

Ignore, or buy so you can rip it up immediately and burn it; thus its accursed line ends with you? I kind of like the wallpaper, though.

I don't like the wallpaper, but if the floors were hardwood the wallpaper would be fairly inoffensive. As it stands, it's just the mushy sea of grey-browns. In that pattern, though, I see dozens of arrows pointing toward the camera. What are they trying to tell us?! edit: Jesus, $500k for a 1.5 story, 1700 square foot, two bed, two bath house that needs refreshing.

That house is what we call around here "ITB," or, "Inside The Beltline," which is to say central/"old" Raleigh. You can automatically tack an extra $50-$100K more onto your price just for that, regardless of your home's condition. Also, the exponential growth in this area over the last decade has made home prices in this area skyrocket anyway, which means people like me (single-income, making below the national average) are more or less priced out of the market. I can't imagine how people living below the poverty line in this area manage to survive.

cheese eats mouse posted:What caused Raleigh to explode anyway? Suddenly it was a hot spot I think it might be a case of nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd, really. I honestly don't know if being a tech mecca is the cause or effect; I mean, there've been big pharma companies here forever. But yeah, it's close to RTP, there's a bunch of good colleges/universities in the area, the weather isn't super-horrible. It was (and I guess relatively speaking still is) inexpensive to live here compared to other places. Two hours from the beach, four hours from the mountains, fairly centrally located on the east coast. But it was like, once the secret was out, people just started coming.

Apropos of "things that are shiny," I'm finally getting around to making some good-quality prints from the photos we've been taking, and since the Ikea frames are just a touch too plain compared to the nicer frames elsewhere I decided to see how well the Rustoleum hammered <<insert metal here>> paint works. Turns out it's not too bad! The antique pewter might be a better choice but this is still preferable to the unaltered frames. I'm going to try the pewter and the chestnut later.
