 The fake wood laminate floor at my doctor's office actually has fake markings printed on it to look like a chattery planer blade. So it's well-crafted fake lovely wood. Wow.

Last time I was at my local lumberyard they were having a sale on "rustic" red oak. I asked what made it rustic and they said "oh, that's just our #2 grade and worse wood, some people like that it's splintery and full of knots." Apparently people that live in the country don't care about smooth surfaces. I'd bet that your doc's floors were advertised as rustic.

Rustic, antiqued, Americana...making things look old and lovely involves a lot of time, effort, and supplies.

Rustic, antiqued, Americana...making things look old and lovely involves a lot of time, effort, and supplies. Mmmmm...not necessarily. My wife wanted the old basement door to look "shabby chic"* So I took it off, outside, and hit it with the angle grinder...bouncing it randomly all over the face. Took about three minutes. She loves it. Fortunately, it's mostly covered with coats, scarves, handbags etc. so I don't have to see it. *how to leverage your complete lack of both artistic talent and refinishing skills. gently caress; if you can't even strip paint properly with a power tool, you should probably be paying a pro.

A relatively recent series of This Old House had the homeowners intentionally hitting their new cabinets with hammers to make them look distressed. It was extremely distressing to watch. All I could tank about were the kids in school who used sandpaper or files to scarf up their skateboards because they couldn’t grind or railslide.

What's funny is that things have so flipped that a poor person's house isn't gonna have rough-hewn woodwork anymore, it's gonna have plastic and pressboard with fake wood patterns on it.

They've got two kids and have outgrown their earlier house so " "We're not big people, but for some reason we like big open spaces," says Pete, a creative director at an advertising firm. "I think open spaces inspire you to think differently." Still, at 3,800 square feet, the house is one of the smallest ones in the area." I kinda like the appearance of the outside of the house (haven't looked at any of the episodes yet), but there's something pretentious about the grape arbor with nowhere to plant the grapes. Maybe they'll be potted. ed.: I don't really like the mini-barn section sticking out of the north side like an architectural Quatto.

It reflects the imperfection of life and the inevitable degradation of all manmade things. That is why I am asking $1.5M for this house where a cat tore up the stair carpet and then pissed on the underlay. It was the house’s karma. Thank you.

I watched a furniture restoration program where the workshop was full of old craftsmen refinishing real antique furniture with incredible care. One customer wanted their mahogany campaign chest "distressed" so they put the inexperienced shop idiot on it and he did his best but between being an idiot and using the top as a workbench for his tools he accidentally achieved "distressed" perfectly. The frequent cuts to the old men in the background pulling faces were the highlight.
