I don't want to live in a parking garage
I don't want to live in an allergen trap.

Is that a fucking problem, Nicholas?

That carpet was my parent's basement rug for the majority of my life. Maybe my standards are low, but I thought it was fine. Not excellent but fine.
We had it in a kitchen.

This was an attempt to emulate the rich, wood-paneled, dark, rich luxury of old money.
wrote last edited by [email protected]I visited Konopiste castle in the Czech Republic that had a moat with a bear living in it. Inside, most of the place was covered in beautiful walnut. Hand carved patterning, and filigree. It was actually beautiful. And the ceilings were like 20 feet tall. A bunch of animal busts, linens, and furs. They even had the real white and blue fine China that Boomers are so obsessed with.
I remember thinking as I walked through there: "Wow, this is what it's supposed to look like"

Cozy as all hell though. Better than the drab gray cookie-cutter-prison aesthetic for sure.
Bring back carpet, earth tones, and separated rooms please
I want a good hidey hole to curl up in.No, we must open-concept everything! That way, when people come over, you have to clean one giant room (instead of just whatever small rooms people are likely to be in.)
I wish I could just tidy up the living room without needing to tidy up the kitchen and the computer room, but with my apartment floor plan the only inside doors I have are for the bedroom and the bathroom. So all the excess crap I have no space for gets shoved into the bedroom, every time.

Wow, I can smell that. Musty basement with a Tyco slot car race track in it.

I want a good hidey hole to curl up in.Bring back the '70s babes with it like Joyce DeWitt or Jan Smithers.

Exactly!

And years of stale cigarette smoke baked into every surface in the house.

It was a reaction to the artificial colors that got popular in the 60s.

I want a good hidey hole to curl up in.My new home was built in the 50s and the biggest take away was "whoa, all the rooms are separate!" It's glorious.

Apparently Cutty Sark is a whiskey, which presumably is what you meant, but the first DDG result is a British naval ship which ... Also kinda makes sense?
Many liquor brands have a sailor/pirate theme. I never saw the appeal personally, but I guess it just plays off the stale "sailors drink a lot, amirite?" meme.

Yeah, the upholstery is just too 'matched' with the walls. I would imagine if it was a light colored tile, and the couch was a solid color, it would almost seem like a modernish house.
-
I like dark wood but it does make rooms looks smaller if it is all dark colours
I always love the picture showing the different ways to contrast walls/ceiling/floor colors to push different feelings. Found it, or at least something similar to what I remember.
-
Why? It muffles sound and is much nicer to walk across. Extra layer of insulation on the floor too.
Because no matter how much you clean it, it is intensely more disgusting than tile/faux-wood/wood floors ever will be.

And still more than we'll ever achieve

Did the bear still live in the moat or was the bear only in the moat historically. Regardless I am disappointed that there are no pictures of the moat.
