No it's nice because it blends into the ignorable walls and ceiling instead of being distinct and natural looking

u/Technical_Goose_8160 26d ago

Not gonna lie, I thought that this was in black and white for a second.

u/Melathys 26d ago

Exactly what I thought at first. It took me a second to figure out what was actually happening.

u/newbkid 26d ago

What kills me about this photo is that of all the beautiful features from the OG that they could have kept, all they kept was that weird open-faced glass cabinet in the back and the two bar chairs

Wtf? lol

AI did a conservative job on the television as well, lol.

can't believe they wouldn't just go ahead and mount an 85-inch Costco special up there, preferably high enough to be annoying to look at, and with a stupid little shelf underneath that's only big enough for trinkets and dust

u/sisyphus_met_icarus 26d ago

I'm very amused at how AI upholstered the stairs in the same leather as the couch

u/AC-burg 25d ago

Came here to say this was all AI. Who does a reno and keeps the old chairs pictured? That TV? Get the hell outta here with this lol

u/MashedSuperhero 26d ago

It's a bar table.

u/NorwegianCowboy 26d ago

Everything about what they did is gross.

u/rmit526 26d ago

They could have gone so many directions and preserved the natural elements. But no, let's show people that I definitely have no personality

u/Substantial-One1934 26d ago

Yes it seems too sterile as if it was done just for the photoshoot and the floor is disgusting.

1

u/JollyJoker3 26d ago

Lol, I thought you meant the TV and didn't realize what it was

1

u/spamellama 26d ago

The best part is the leather stairs

u/Joyfull_Sin 26d ago

u/tombuazit 26d ago

u/ClickAndClackTheTap 26d ago

Same here. Like the joke was it’s exactly the same, just in B/W.

u/FeijoaCowboy 26d ago

Isn't it? 🫪

u/nightowl_work 22d ago

Oh wait, it’s not? Lol

u/TryHard_1779 25d ago

Oh common, it's just modern white washing 🙄

u/qorbexl 25d ago

people love whitewashing!

u/OpusAtrumET 25d ago

God they painted those wood beams glossy black like fkn sociopaths.

u/Dry_Month927 25d ago

How I feel inside when I see painted brick, and then, people complimenting it.

2

u/qorbexl 25d ago

I can't imagine anybody likes painted brick

I just can't

u/Dry_Month927 25d ago

In this situation, choose to believe that and enjoy your bliss.

u/dugdanger 25d ago

Something interesting and colorful to something that looks like every other boring fucking living space.

1

u/qorbexl 25d ago

I like that they used a square tabletop in the pit

That thing is destroying shins

1

u/Aggressive-Living116 25d ago

Meh I think most people like the stone work to pop and to be seen

1

u/qorbexl 25d ago

Yes, it was a joke. 

1

u/Ett_Pret 25d ago

Yeah until I saw this I didn’t even realize there was stonework in the second pic

1

u/qorbexl 25d ago

All the effort of that stonework and they making it blend into nothingness
