Brick veneer.
That's right, let's glue fucking thin pieces of brick to the wall to make a plaster wall look like a brick wall. The entire wall too.
At least I have to do nearly zero prep to the wall because the brick will look uneven anyway. Apparently this was her first choice, but wanted wood "for me" because it was free. The fake brick wall will be pushing $700 in material alone.
And brick is porous AF. Cleaning it will be a nightmare unless we seal it.
I wish we could go back to the wood and just let the house burn down.

What is she looking at? these are terrible material choices! Even in interior design the FORM follows Function, not the other way around.

Well boys, looks like we need to get another horse. We should find a more practical animal to beat to death and beyond. Maybe deer?

let's play find the porous backsplash materials. I bet we get to page 15 before we find one.

Dude, brick veneer backsplash is all over pinshit. She showed me. It's all the rage for a "rustic" (I'm so sick of that fucking word) wall treatment in the kitchen. Why?

I've been pushing hard for porcelain tile. That's "boring" and "overdone" apparently.

Right. If this was part of the house, I'd be game with exposing it. This is like putting an M badge on a 320 or something.Big Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Mon Jan 15, 2018 12:19 pm Page 8, found brick backsplash (part of the exterior wall doe, natural shit.)

Dat cheesy 70's look is , not to mention the cleaning issues you mentioned. And I bet you'd have to reseal it periodically, too.
Sorry bro.

Can you play the "respect the architectural and design ethos of the house when it was first built" angle? They would have used ceramic for sure back in the 20's, and NOT wood or brick veneer.

Well, managed a win. Went to Lowe's to get some electrical stuff I needed, and we walked down the tile isle. She found a porcelain hexagon tile that she LOVES...and it's on sale right now for $7/sq ft.
Bought one sheet so she could see it at home, we both like it so I'm going to buy the rest tomorrow. Amazing that worked out.
Still gotta do open shelving, doe...but again I'll keep it cheap. She also wants a wood wall on the other side of the kitchen in the breakfast nook...I'll tackle that once the rest is done...which is hopefully after she lost interest in the idea.

on the open shelving. You should start taking bets on how long before she changes her mind once they're up. I'd say 3-6 months.
