No, wall stickers are just sold like that. They save material by condensing it into the smallest possible space for printing. For whatever reason the person who hung the sticker didn't reorder it properly. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2015-Hot-Sale-New-English-Kitchen-Wall-Stickers-Wholesale-Can-Remove-Background-Love/32427833689.html  https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Cre...2768895649.html  https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Chr...2824145183.html

What was that 80s/90s trend of shapes and squiggles on a white field a reaction to? The bland browns of the 70s?

What do you all suggest for sound insulation in an apartment? We have a shared wall with our next door neighbor on the bedroom/bathroom side. I know bookshelves help, and I plan on putting one up, but I only have so many books nowadays. Do acoustic foam panels actually work?

Memphis design was the wave of the future via Italy and probably involved some drugs “Good taste was the bad thing they were fighting against” says this article and they are probably right

Preventing sound from adjacent rooms entering needs rebuilding the wall to really be effective.

prada has a bunch of displays of ‘80s’ italian geometric colorful art in front of some of their stores as a show of some sort interestingly, much of it predates the 80s but it took that long for it to be picked up ‘mainstream’ so everyone tends to place it in the ‘90s Taco Bell in the mall’ era

I have come to the shocking conclusion that I predicted all current HGTV design trends back when I was designing my dream home in a crappy design program we got for free in 1998. Which means that if I do it now, in my upcoming move, it will be awful and dated in 2 years. Which is why I have decided to now get super into victorian hunting lodges. Red felt, green drapery, raw gray stone, mahogany and oak, and dead animals everywhere. Leather couch? gently caress you, crushed velvet.

I'm looking into re-tiling my entryway with a greyish-blue tile (I like the color and ashlar pattern in this photo), and I thought that maybe a silvery grout would look nice.  Then I sw that HGTV is pimping glitter grout this year and thought "oh, no, there goes that idea". https://www.hgtv.com/design-blog/design/hold-up--glitter-grout-exists-and-we-re-obsessed Pigsfeet on Rye fucked around with this message at 23:57 on Nov 23, 2018 |

Anyone know how easy / hard it would be to pull up baseboards and then reattach them? The door frames and baseboards in my place ate extremely old, probably light pine but they've been painted over about 1000 times since 1926 and I was thinking of stripping and staining them.

Having seen/helped my dad do it a few times, it's not as hard as you'd think. You pretty much need just a prybar and some care and patience. The one thing you'll want to keep in mind though is that when it comes to trim wood like baseboards and such, there's generally two kinds. The cheaper (read: lower-quality) kind isn't as nice looking, and is designed to be painted. The higher-quality (read: more expensive) kind is made for staining, and generally has fewer (if any) knotholes or other flaws in the wood. Be prepared after stripping that your baseboards may not be conducive for a stain, and you may just have to put a clean coat of paint on them.

Yeah I'm okay with repainting them if it's ugly wood, even if it's just to get the lead paint out of here because there's going to be children around in the future. My main concern is actually reattaching them because this building is ancient and I'm not sure how the walls are put together.

You could use finish nails and countersink them, or maybe use liquid nails if you have no intention of removing them ever again/want to make life miserable for the next inhabitant of your house. I should probably also clarify that I've only ever had experience with drywall, so if you're dealing with plaster, I got nothin'.  Good luck to you on your project, however you end up tackling it.

No children present right now and I've got P100 masks, air purifiers and lots and lots of heavy grade plastic sheeting to seal things off. I'm concerned that some of the plaster may have asbestos in it as well so I'll probably send both off for testing to be safe.

It’s fairly rare for plaster to contain asbestos, but if you’re worried and know how to take a bulk sample it can’t hurt. Even if it did, you’re not demoing it, at worst you’re making nail holes, right?

Should've specified, the plaster treatment on the ceiling and a couple walls is most likely Artex. I'd just like to know because I'd like to remove some of it in a hallway but if it's got the chrysotile curse I'll leave it be.

I'm totally going to be Grandma Gothic. Maybe not the dark wood and carpet (??) walls, but the rest, hell yea. Already got my old master print collection started. Also ornate antique furniture is ridiculously cheap for the quality, age and craftsmanship involved, at least here in BENELUX https://auction.catawiki.com/kavels/22080103-neo-renaissance-cabinet-oak-second-half-19th-century this one is actually quite reserved for being supposedly Louis XVI, though I am not a furniture style expert. And are there even still mahoganies in Cuba??? https://auction.catawiki.com/kavels/22354209-louis-xvi-hit-buffet-cuba-mahogany-mahogany-first-half-19th-century

At this point it's be significantly less work to remove old, buy and paint new then fit afterwards and touch up the nail holes after fitting.

What's the best way to temporarily add color to a wall in an apartment you're not allowed to repaint? How do I make wall hangings look good? I might just staple a sheet to the wall, I'm desperate to break up the LINEN WHITE ABYSS with an accent wall

Get one of those decoration projector lights. Change the color of a wall without changing the color of the wall. Rad as hell.  Is that too newfangled for you? How about going old school then.  Still not happy? Okay, have you considered PVC 3d Butterfly wall decor cute Butterflies wall stickers art Decals home Decoration room wall art? Whimsical as gently caress.  Not trolling, I have at different times used all 3 (my wall rug had a bear on it). I'm not good at home decor tho.
