Well it's the kitchen of an artist so presumably she just took bags home from her openings till she had enough. But for a more complete drunk-life theme, those are hops hanging from the ceiling.

The backsplash could be really neat in the right setting, but that setting is NOT "the broken china backsplash is the least busy part of the kitchen".

Everything outside of the wacky bottle-shell-broken-crockery stuff screams England to me, from the (plate and clothes) drying racks, to the plates, to the vase of burnt wooden utensils and the tea towels hanging on the oven door says "this person grew up in Tunbridge Wells or Weston-super-Mare".

Long before I had a smart phone capable of decent photos I looked at a terrible DIY monstrosity of a house with a bathroom that looked like that fountain does. Add a layer of gold gilt and less precision in the shell arrangement, and that was it.

I guess because the person who built it was an ancient german master decorator vs some dude. wonder what it looked like before it was covered in centuries of dust and grime and got all sunfaded.

I quite like the look of high quality plywood in some circumstances, and when finished well I like the look of the layers forming the "end grain", but I've discovered that in New Zealand it is "the style" to have a kitchen that looks like this:  Yes those are the finished walls and floors, and the cabinet fronts are poly-coated birch ply too. The only thing not going to be ply is stainless steel countertops. This is a "stylish" kitchen in NZ which just goes to show how much things can change based on location.

There were some plywood-paneled classrooms at my grade school. These rooms were in an addition from the 50s or 60s so they had a distinctly mid century vibe. It also helped that the plywood had aged over the decades to this really nice ruddy gold tone. But birch ply isn't going to age like that. It's just going to look unfinished forever.

It seems like that would be a fire risk, vs drywall, but I guess it could be treated.

I think it could do well in smaller amounts with more contrast. Too much of anything doesn't do it for me.

I've seen plywood done well exactly once. At an art and design school that built a 4 story atrium when it bought and converted the old building next to it's main classroom building. The entire thing is white/grey and airy and skylights. One wall of the 4th floor is executive offices, and to make them stand out from the rest of the atrium, their wall along the atrium is clad with well-patterend, and waxed/stained plywood with grommeted brass screws looking like rivets along the joints. It's still not my favorite look, but it at least looks like it's not an unfinished wall.

There was a factory I used to work in with a corridor about 30m long panelled sides and top with varnished OSB. There were no lights or windows this corridor. It was almost a blessing when you were in the middle and it was so dark you couldn't see the walls. It made me want to see if anyone ever made nice-looking OSB furniture.

Speaking as someone who likes wood paneling, you can have too much of a good thing. Also that's all clearly plywood.

That second house, but zebrano veneer over every single ply surface. I only pulled out the first 2 I found, but there are countless examples of unfinished all-plywood houses - every single surface made of it. it's wild. saying that i'd totally go for the exact same thing but in super white/light grey raw concrete, I might not be the best person to judge. cubicle gangster fucked around with this message at 20:35 on Oct 3, 2018 |

It just looks unfinished. Like, sheds and treehouses usually have more effort put in. "It looks unfinished" is one of those commonly produced opinions that I think people use when they're forgetting that people have varied taste. And it's pretty obvious from looking at it that a *lot* of effort has been put in to get the result they want. It's something I had to deal with a lot with my builder when I wanted some of the brick walls left brick. The distinction is that there's a difference between something that's actually unfinished and something deliberately "unfinished" but done in such a way that you can tell it's deliberate. Not everything has to be polished tile and gloss paint.
