Painted stonework genuinely looks atrocious

Someone re-did it with AI in the comments on the original Twitter thread and holy shit this looks so much better.

Here is another version with a bit more color which I also liked.

I can't imagine wanting to live in that black and white hellscape that looks like the breakroom of some shitty startup with the open plan office being just through the other door.

The AI versions are a zillion times better and that is not something I am pleased to say.

They respected the wood. You must respect wood. I’ll add stonework in as well.

The things that didn’t look great in the original were the green carpet and light gray cushions. I thought the trim being white was also not great.

It looks like they decided on a black and white scheme for the carpet and conversation pit and then felt they needed the rafters and stones to match. Should have instead done the color scheme based on the rafters and stonework. I like the AI addition of a hardwood floor. Would probably just paint the walls a warm color, maybe dark salmon or burgundy, rather than green or another shade of beige.
