fine until you get to the faux stone wall. ask any stonemason and you'll hear the same: there are ancient, time honored patterns of stone laying that look wretched when violated. they are seriously violated here. ok not everyone is hip to this. but how hard is it to say: we're going to do a stone wall design; maybe we should ask somebody who actually knows something about the medium. the ability to make shit out of vinyl or plastic does not entitle us to disregard thousands of years of dedicated, elegant craft that went before.
