I wonder if I should try and include this in a bathroom remodel that I'm doing right now. 90% of people in America have a day to day life where their surroundings look no better than this. If you really stop to analyze, most of our surroundings are pretty ugly.

So I wonder if painted/plastered walls with unique patterns will stick around, or if it is just a trend that will look bad in a couple years, and if I should attempt it. Looks a bit more challenging than regular painting. Maybe start with just an accent wall? back of a closet? it's going to be a very modern looking space, since I've got a wall hung toilet, lever door handles, vessel sink, thermostatic shower mixer, square recessed lights, matte black fixtures and hardware. shit that's pretty common in Europe but rare in America.

    I went shopping for furniture and rugs recently and all the furniture and rugs are “distressed” now. I actually think it’s because things are made way more cheaply than they used to be (the quality of even pricey shit was not good) and the fact that people can’t afford what they used to so companies make crapola and sell it for whatever prices knowing it’s not worth that and sell them predistressed so it doesn’t look like complete shit in 2 weeks. But I think it’s a late stage capitalism thing.
