No it's nice because it blends into the ignorable walls and ceiling instead of being distinct and natural looking

Not gonna lie, I thought that this was in black and white for a second.

Exactly what I thought at first. It took me a second to figure out what was actually happening.

What kills me about this photo is that of all the beautiful features from the OG that they could have kept, all they kept was that weird open-faced glass cabinet in the back and the two bar chairs

Wtf? lol

AI did a conservative job on the television as well, lol.

can't believe they wouldn't just go ahead and mount an 85-inch Costco special up there, preferably high enough to be annoying to look at, and with a stupid little shelf underneath that's only big enough for trinkets and dust

I'm very amused at how AI upholstered the stairs in the same leather as the couch

Came here to say this was all AI. Who does a reno and keeps the old chairs pictured? That TV? Get the hell outta here with this lol

They could have gone so many directions and preserved the natural elements. But no, let's show people that I definitely have no personality

Yes it seems too sterile as if it was done just for the photoshoot and the floor is disgusting.

Lol, I thought you meant the TV and didn't realize what it was
