Confessions of a Dallas Realtor: When HGTV Turns From Inspiration to Abomination
Share News:
Sometimes Realtors get the shock of their lives. Be it cats running out of doorways, after which they must sprint, only to find out that the homeowner doesn’t even own a cat, to really, REALLY awful faux finishes.
In this case, one Realtor that has asked to remain anonymous, sent in this photo of a home in Old Lake Highlands she was showing:
“I swear HGTV jacked some people up. Out showing houses today and someone really talented perfectly executed the plastic baggie faux finish technique on every. single. surface. of this hallway. 7 doors, trim, sides of doors, ceilings and even the attic access. All perfectly finished. Creepy.”
I would definitely call this a faux finish faux pas. I know it’s nothing a little primer and paint can’t fix, but really, their Realtor should have told them to fix this! What do you think?

This is just insane, isn't it? I wonder what it feels like when you're actually walking down the hall… creepy.
That's uncanny, the feeling I am most looking for in any property I move to is 'crumpled'
It looks like plywood.
To me it looks like a crumpled paper bag.

More I look at it, it looks like fingerpainting!

I've never seen such a perfect replication of OSB lumber.
