Here is a good example of what I was talking about with the difference in craftsmanship in old vs new "luxury" construction. This is real Queen Anne woodwork, from a house that sold for $275,000 in Lynchburg VA last month  Most Victorians weren't quite that ornate but for $1.5 million in southwest VA I'd expect something closer to that than this  it does have a lot of nice model trains though

I spent a couple of years working in an office inside a workshop, and the wall covered in a vinyl print of a tropical beach actually did a surprisingly good job of making the place not depressing as all gently caress.

Yeah they're incredibly cheesy but they actually do a decent job of convincing some deep part of your lizard brain that you're near some sort of nature. It's weird.

When I was a kid, I used to regularly go to the hospital for speech therapy, and one wall of the waiting room was photo wallpaper of a deep forest scene. I always thought it was cool and wanted something like it at home.

I grew up in the suburbs so if I wanted to see a forest I looked out the window. The living-room wallpaper was still made to look like tree trunks but not photorealistically. Late seventies brownistically.

That's just maximalism, everything works together in a sorta eclectic way and there's not a single fecal lasagna in sight.

Jaded Burnout posted:There is one room absolutely jam packed with rando stuff, but heck, by that measure I'm a hoarder. Solvable. Needs some shoring and some re-framing. That's what our house looked like when I was in High School. We fixed it with Handyman Jacks and extra framing. House is doing fine still. The dude that built it in about 1904 just wasn't good at framing roofs. Just needed the logs to be sistered, added trusses, and some decking. Finished with a steel roof. All problems can be resolved with some work.
