For clothing stuff like suits or preppy clothing looks close to how it did 100 years ago and is still classy. Being trendy will date your house as time passes.

The whole idea of staying fashionable is to keep up with trends. This is important to some people, so their accent wall will be torn out in 5 or 10 years and covered over with popcorn walls, or knockdown plaster, or whatever the trend is at that time. For other people, they'll keep the accent walls until they sell their home, which will be marketed as "dated" or "period accents". Either way, your job is to stay on top of the trends and to continue providing the highest quality craftsmanship. Good discussion.

I'm mechanically inclined, but had never done any millwork. Been watching your videos ever since, and you've (1) saved me god knows how much in labor/contractor costs, but...(2) inspired me to spend more in tools than I ever thought I'd need for new construction; and 3: showed me how the pros make it look so good (I'm very detail-oriented, like yourself). In fact, I just found a local yard that sells WindsorONE. Have crown done in half my place and just tore out the drywall returns to case my first window because of what I've learned.

[@hyeater98]

In my opinion as a young trim carpenter/woodworker, I feel like accent wall/feature walls will sort of evolve. Not die per say. But maybe we will start seeing more dimensions to the featured wall. More depth and character in types of (ornate) mouldings we use. I hope new shapes and styles of mouldings are created. With these millennials, it'll probably be even more abstract and crazy. Who knows in today's world. Anythings possible.

I've lived through 3 generations of "accent walls." They all end up the same. They don't make any sense when the wall has no relationship to the geometries present in the rest of the house. You would do better with just a large scale painting as a focal point. They become dated very rapidly and, to me, cheapen a house rather than add value. It's wasted effort.

[@Wouldwoodwork]

That is so freaking cool… great job! I love it. Never seen anything like it. Makes a statement and I think will be on trend for a while. Some designs are timeless and/or can withstand trends and I think straight lines like that won’t just be a trend but a timeless design that homeowners will enjoy showing off to friends and family. It’s not like you can find walls like that in many homes at all (even if you see them all the time). In my opinion, this is craftsmanship and artwork to a homeowner and isn’t comparable to a cheap dated wall panel.

[@02reaper]

I totally agree with what you are saying about trends. I'm just trying to figure out when drywall is going to phase out.

[@teamawe1649]

The 60's and 70's had some geometric design accents, faded away as the 80's approached. My feeling is the more pronounced the accent, the faster it will fall out of favor. I see the well done ship lap/nickel gap walls and ceilings lasting vs the single wall design. Trends come and go, class lasts, crown, cased windows, high quality trim, etc. You mentioned popcorn ceilings, that wasn't implemented as a design feature but rather a time/money saver for the builder. Perhaps beads as doorways/partitions, track lighting, houses build with ledges and openings EVERYWHERE that now serve only as places for dust to build up (90's anyone?), to name only 3, could server as a few examples of trends that didn't last.

[@MrNorthstar50]

I agree with you about the popcorn ceilings ( They were called acoustic ceilings back in the day) they only took one bed and they were ready to spray easy and cheap. But I sprayed many older homes that wanted the new acoustic style look to make them look updated. Nothing stands still we will always have change.

[@totallynottrademarked5279]

Popcorn also reduces echo in rooms which makes them feel more comfortable audibly. Still hate the stuff and working on it but it really does cut down on the reverb due to phase cancelation.

The most “accented” wall we’ve ever done is shiplap board, in a higher gloss finish then the eggshell or matte color of the rest of sheet rock walls. It looked good, it was tucked into a master bedroom. But you are correct, this is short lived “house flipper” type of Tv stuff.

Now we have returned to the timeless look of flat trim, used in many houses aged well over 100 years old. Like the saying goes, “don’t fix what ain’t broke”.

Nice cabinets, flooring, carpet, etc, if done well, could be timeless. Doing nice things to your home will mostly always add value because most people don’t do nice things. Tile counters and formica weren’t trends. They were cheap alternatives.

1st off....I appreciate taxidermists. Thanks you for your service!!! ;) Last deer I had done...went in to pick it up. I was jawjacking with the taxidermist and another fellow that was also picking up. Another guy shows up (pick up)...and immediately started talking trash about the little 4 point that "some jackass" had mounted. The guy that was already there, very politely said..."it's my sons 1st and probably only deer he'll ever get to get...he's 9, has cancer and won't likely make it to next season". I am not ashamed to admit...my eyes got a little "sweaty" (as did everyone else's). The "trash talker" apologized profusely and even paid off the balance for the mount. He walked out of there about 2 inches tall.

I have two brick fireplaces that the first owner of my home had painted back in the 1950s. One was painted hot pink and one metallic gold. The homeowner prior to us told us she had to use some sort of acid to remove the pink. The gold (in the basement with the mahogany paneling) shall remain gold. One upside to the mahogany paneling trend was that the first owner also put in some built-in shelving made with solid mahogany. I've salvaged that and used it to make a coffee table and a desk.

Aircraft stripper will remove paint from bricks with very little effort. Wipe it over the whole fireplace, before you’re done wiping the spot you started will be bubbling up. Wipe it off, then spot clean with a rag soaked in stripper. Rinse out rags before disposal, as they can ignite as they dry.

Tuscany (light brown) tiles in kitchen, hallway and bathroom. Early 2000s onwards. I still like them!

I only do these Renos 6 months before listing my house for sale in order to be current. Everything else in the house is mostly middle road elegant, nothing overly trendy except for art or decorations which can be easily changed.

That was an awesome intro. And the editing on this video was hilarious. Great job! hahahahah

When i renovated my house about 25 years ago, i bought mdf (actually hdf) baseboards and trim, un primed. Two coats of mahogany stain and two coats of varnish, they looked amazing. You couldn’t tell it from real wood. Wish i could still find the un primed stuff for the new house so I wouldn’t have the same cookie cutter, white moldings that everyone has nowadays.

I just had our trim carpenter put in accent walls for two bedrooms. One in a 5"nickel gap herringbone pattern painted Chelsea Gray by BM and one in 7" shiplap laid horizontally painted in Trout Gray by BM. They are stunning, and I am thrilled with them! Who cares if they go out of style in 20 years? Nothing lasts forever, and it keeps our carpenter well nourished!

Oh what a beautiful dust catcher. You are going to love vacuuming that.

[@jameshalleron7484]

Your 100% correct. I have a client who likes caulk paint and she had me paint her kitchen walls. I installed bead board in the kitchen then covered them with caulk paint. It does not dry evenly and you can touch it without causing a scratch. It's a real PITA.

[@loloholmes2793]

I think you mean Chalk Paint. BTW, I love your use of the word PITA 😅 I've been using it for 25 yrs to describe difficult patients & every time I use it, I get a confused look, so I have to spell it out for them. Finally someone else GETS IT. 😊

[@Chafmaster49]

I believe you are exactly right.. trends die out

[@JeremyJohnson79]

Completely agree! I like your barber analogy. Their dime and our time.

[@Lyleartist]

When I started as a framer back in the stone age, accent walls were big, as I moved into trim, I tore a bunch out!

[@mikenobles1515]

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO that grin was on point Jesus Christ man I wish I could work just a day with you guys Ill be laughing all day the jokes are so serious but inside are extremely funny even to you. I'm suprised you hold in your laughter saying these jokes bro.

[@dwayne7356]

It is a beautiful looking wall. I love the detail and the craftmanship that went into that wall. BUT, I look at that wall and go it is going to be tough to dust all those edges. Also, pictures or a TV mounted to the wall will be problematic at best and need some kind of repair if pictures or a TV were removed. Also some people are trying to follow HGTV which is a mistake. I prefer plain drywall walls that can be easily repaired and or repainted in a home. Even a little wall paper is easier to change. A commercial property is different because it can make a statement that will last longer then design trends in a home.

[@johnd9357]

Nah. A little compressed air and 5 minutes, good to go.

[@bobcougar77]

:48 I just want to point out you are sitting on the "Not a step" sign while the ladder brace is not extended. AND you're thinking about turning around lol. I've done it. Funny video and I agree.

[@vidalexperience]

You killed me when you said wonder how it’s gonna look and 10 years and then cuts to the horror popcorn ceiling leak! Hahahaha I think like anything custom, someone or generation is going to come around and tear it out because there’s no functional aspect to it. It’s hard to hang a tv from there or throw a projector screen or hang a picture - I think people will care much more about space in the next 10 years

[@krmontgomery2004]

This is why I painted my feature walls. Makes it very easy to change.

[@OUTDOORS55]

I think you highlighted a good reason as craftspeople to better understand the science behind interior design. It is actually science based, and I think today we have a much better understanding of what 95% of the population considers attractive. Much more so than even in the early 2000s. I think this is simply due to the internet and information sharing. Look how much styles have changed from the 80s to the 90s. Now look at home styles today vs 2012. Not a lot has changed. I think we may be seeing a plateau in a way. So yes maybe these accent walls will die but the idea behind them remains. It will just be another accent, with another design, with another material. This may sound contradictory but its not. The high contrast based design elements are here to stay. This is just my opinion 😉

I've been saying the same thing about "shiplap" and sliding barn doors for years
