We tape up all sorts of samples and watch as the light changes, think we have the perfect match, order and try it. Nope, never the same.
Chip in a wall means ignoring it, or filling and repainting the whole wall.

I also dislike the box like architecture of the new infills and houses. I would much prefer the classic over the trendy look any day.

Many households these days are modern, sleek, cold and sterile.
Many of these houses hold nothing against the mismatched, chaotic, warm
homes of decades past.
The amount of homes that have beautiful trim and finishings, but nearly all human personality and indication scrubbed completely from the main areas is pretty damn high. It's like a show home with no indication of who lives there. No pictures, very generic displays etc. Devoid of personality and character. It actually feels like some people are transactional with their own homes. It's hella weird.
It used to be photos everywhere, insane displays all over the place... etc. I have a buddy who has a god damn 8 foot spider on his ceiling for Halloween that sometimes takes too long to take down until it's absolutely necessary for Christmas. His family photos are replaced with ghost pics for those festivities. You used to have those buddies that laugh at the hole in the wall from a few years prior due to some raucous party anecdote... I blame social media.
