my new hobby is rubbernecking on fights about what people do to their houses on fb interiors groups. one woman has moved into a barn conversion and is asking about ripping out the beautiful flagstone floor and someone has replied “maybe you should have bought a house you liked”

just delicious

i think when you scratch the surface this stuff is very political actually, there are so many people who are desperate to have a home they can make their own in even the smallest way, while ppl who can afford them are so lacking in reverence for craftsmanship they just ruin them

you can really tell the difference between how hard people have struggled to get some level of security by how they relate to their surroundings i think. rich people just love waste
