Does anyone else think all that fake-weathered stuff looks exceptionally bad up against builder-grade carpet, trim, and paint? It makes it all look unfinished rather than old.

The year is 2016. There's a facebook group to organize the 10 year reunion for my highschool's class of 2006. Everybody in there is posting their life updates for some reason. Like "Hey everyone! Long time no see, huh? Wow what a blast these 10 years have been. I moved down to Florida with my dad and started a tree service company with three locations." or "I had 3 wonderful babies with (one of their classmates) and couldn't be happier with life at [wherever they worked]"


Now, I wasn't in the class of 2006. But I was invited to the group, and I was feelin' weird. So I posted my own update saying that I've been running a successful fuckbench business for the past 4 years, and listed a bunch of sex furniture I'd be willing to make, and kinda made up names for stuff. Like I said I was making fiend holes. What the gently caress is a fiend hole? I don't loving know.


Well class of 2006 was into some kinky poo poo and I got a poo poo ton of messages from them. Work at the metal shop was slow, I wanted to make some cash, so..... I mean..... why not? I threw out some prices, had some people agree, and uh.... well.... I made some fuckbenches. I even did some vinyl upholstery haha

nice one

I would put up with all of that for that sweet rear end garage though. Look at all that space. It would be like having your own warehouse.

It's p nice for a workshop gotta say, though the barn doors don't look great.

Bought a house. Looking for some paint suggestions. The reason I liked the place is because it has a rustic/country/up north feel to it and I would like to maintain that vibe. My whole life I've just used neutral grays because I am uncreative and suck at this kind of thing.

The floors are knotted pine and will be refinished to bring out a bit more of the white tones in the wood. As you can see the window and base trim is stained wood. I don't think my typical palette of neutral grays will work here. Any suggestions appreciated. FYI this is not my furniture so just consider it a blank slate.

I'm real torn on this one. On the one hand, good for them for living the way they want to live rather than keeping everything nuetral for best resale value. On the other hand . . . the whole thing.

I wonder what happened. That isn't a weird reno, that house was built in 2014 so this is how it was built to begin with. This is someone's dream home.

LOL, yeah, probably divorce. Looked like they divided the house up pretty well between competing desires though. Looks like the entire ground floor is garage + mancave, with most of the pintrest details confined to the second floor.


It does add some spice to this though:

I wonder how much of that is because millennials realized they don't want or need that much space, and how much of that is because millennials can't afford giant houses(or any houses, if they live on the west coast).

Selling the barn door house now seems tricky (the asking price has already dropped 40K) but imagine how hard this would be to sell in another 10 years. This place is going to age badly. In another 50 years it might come back around to kitsch if it stays as is, but for the next 20 years it's just going to be dated as hell.

Somebody's knees got slammed by the door getting opened while on the shitter, and the deadbolt is the insurance to make sure that never happens again.

Anyone have s good primer on picking carpeting or recommendations? We are buying a house from friends and one of the sweeteners they offered is to replace all the first floor carpeting with us being able to pick it. This will be our first house and neither my wife or I have experience with choosing carpeting.

We want to keep the budget reasonable (they are friends) but still decent quality. If it makes a difference the rooms are a connected dining room and living room that will be medium traffic and a seperate family room that will be lower traffic (wood floors everywhere else). We do have cats and a dog.
