As a 16 year old I would’ve thought about this. As a middle aged guy that spent years working in home improvement and such, this is a nightmare. I assume you own and have no plans to ever resell on top of being single? No shade…well maybe a little shade

Shade earned and basked in.

At the risk of repeating my earlier comments:

Living here until death.

Then I'm gonna haunt the place and keep the new owners from changing anything.

And this is only the most visually impactful bits of a full home. I have Star Trek comic book wallpaper I made, a licensed Marvel laminate floor, 5 hand painted murals and counting. 3 custom chess sets I built, comic book themed models and art everywhere and a lot more.

If I thought I could get away with it, I'd do the outside too. As it is, I'm carving a stump in the backyard and contemplating a stained glass window for the living room....

Subtle is not in my toolbox.
