Change out the carpet, fine, but why that God awful laminate?Update the cushions, great. Paint the beams and fireplace, short term thinking to destroy something that will now forever need work and updating. I hope you drywalled over the wall panels and didn’t just slap paint on them. It is a current “look”. Will be out of date/trend in a couple years - far shorter than the other look that took 30 years to be dated and now would be retro.

That grey laminate flooring pisses me off like nothing else in cheap home remodeling. It’s embossed with wood grain but what fucking real wood is grey like that? It’s the 2020s equivalent of 1970s faux wood paneling.

Pretty much all untreated wood turns grey when exposed to prolonged sunlight?
That being said, I don’t like that look in flooring. On a weathered fence or log cabin it’s fine.

I’m very certain, that ChickenLady and Bubba know what real greyish wood looks like. You also know, it’s not like this.

Ancient abandoned barns in the countryside tend to have grey wood like that
