Buying my first/ last house. (restoring it to time capsule)

I thought about that. I know I can get something to bury that crap, but I'd love it if I could get it down to bare wood to stain, when I do the floors to match.

I've also thought about putting a zebra wood veneer on them to match the cabinets.

I completely agree with the unadulterated aspect. I hate when people modernize modernism, if that makes sense. It looks cliche. Bury everything under a slab of drywall, because the contractors are sniffing gypsum powder, too much. Lots of stainless appliances and big screen TVs above fireplaces. No thanks.

And as much as I like track lights, the ones in the picture are getting flushed.

Some people think I'm nuts for going with burnt orange and avocado and making gold and off white wool weave, side pull curtains. I dunno. I guess it's like a mural on a van, aluminum slot mags and plaid seats in Ford Mavericks. Most of those design elements are never reproduced today, even though people joke about it and admire it, but seldom do you see anyone with the balls to actually roll with it and when you see it done well, you wonder why more people don't.
