Are tile countertops a thing? We had one in my mom's house that I really liked but she replaced it with laminate.

Has anyone heard anything good or bad about Amazon's new in-house furniture brands? I was considering buying something from Rivet but it has 0 reviews on it so far and I'm dubious about the quality of Amazon furniture.

Has anyone bought one of those online custom sofas? I was thinking about Benchmade Modern and Article, but it just feels weird to buy something like that sight unseen, despite the good reviews.

Sirotan posted:Wirecutter had a pretty comprehensive guide to online sofa makers a while back. My takeaway was most of them are fine, if pricey, but they're all so new no one really knows how long they will last you. Yeah I use wirecutter for everything but still it’s so weird. I got some swatches and a printout from benchmade though so we’ll see how they look in my apartment

Youth Decay posted:]A 3800+sf Art Deco/Mid Century Modern fusion house in the middle of nowhere Alabama completely untouched by renovation. Even the furniture and light fixtures look 100% from 1956. This house would be a great place to have family reunions or something when I wanted to feel nostalgic

There's a whole monkey servant thing that pops up with British colonial stuff, and I have no idea if it's some direct line to racist caricature stuff or just happenstance. Honestly shocked that anyone could think it was like, accidentally racist that British people would portray servants as monkeys

There have been some interesting church to apartment conversions in Chicago since all the congregations are shrinking. I tried to find some better pictures but all I could get are these weirdly bad pictures from the developer: Seems interesting. Not sure if I could do it since it would feel kinda creepy at night and also everyone in the neighborhood would hate me for being a gentrifier or something.

Blue Footed Booby posted:Agreed. I have friends who do this. Periodically, they could complain about neighbors barging in. I have minimal sympathy. I read a story a couple weeks ago about a rash of car thefts in the rich Chicago burbs and it turns out 100% of cars stolen this year were unlocked with the keys in them

Here’s the article: https://www.chicagotribune.com/subu...vjna-story.html And the relevant quote: quote:In Wilmette, nine cars have been stolen so far this year, all of which involved unlocked vehicles with the keys inside, Wilmette police Chief Kyle Murphy said.

Speaking of wallpaper: I've been thinking of getting some for a wall in my new place but I realized I have no idea how to shop for it. Are there brands to avoid? Good brands? Things to look for other than "do I like the pattern"?

Reading this thread has got me intensely stressed out about hanging stuff on the plaster walls in my new place. I've only ever had drywall before! I guess I need to buy a drill and bits and anchors and screws.

Jaded Burnout posted:A modern plaster finish is just a few mm of extra stuff on top of the drywall to give a more smooth finish. It's what's under the plaster that matters; if it's not drywall under there, and/or if it's not just studwork under the drywall, that's where you might need to rethink your approach to hanging things. It was built in the 20s and hasn’t been significantly remodeled so it’s not drywall under there sadly.

Went to a bar last night that was otherwise unremarkable, but the wallpaper in the bathroom showed painted monkeys drinking vodka straight out of the bottle and I really want that for my place.

Interesting article: https://www.curbed.com/2019/12/19/21024424/interior-design-trends-2010-2019 I think I might be a philistine, because some of the maximalist designs linked towards the end look pretty minimalist to me
