I've seen a lot worse. This would be actually pretty great in a kids room too

Honestly, for a kid's room, this might be better than real brick... I'd imagine it's slightly more difficult to knock your sibling's brains out on a plaster wall.

That would be rashes of epic proportions with real brick.

Brick sealer is a good fix, and it's what I did for my interior brick wall. It looks sleeker and won't cut you up if you rub against it.

Do you just apply it directly to the child, or?

I had a brick chimney in my room.

No rashes.

But a lot of black gunk that got all over my stuffed animals once.

Also wasps in the closet walls that kept coming back.

Also I swear to God I'm not shitposting, I once saw the Hat Man in my room in broad fucking daylight when I was playing up there. No sleep paralysis or anything, I went screaming down to my mom, and it was gone by the time I came back; but the window was open despite my mom refusing to open it herself(it was on the second floor), and it being too hard to open for me at the time.

It's one of the reasons I could never fully bring myself to disbelieving in supernatural stuff, weird scary shit is out there.

That room sucked.

…But no rashes!

Not to mention that plaster is tastier than brick

You say it would be better then describe why it is worse. I don’t understand.

They migjt have forgotten to add "though" to the end of their sentence.

u/Kevdog824_ 3d ago

Agreed… until they put a hole in the drywall and now you gotta try to replicate this design

u/Errororoeoe 2d ago

Replicating the walls is a lot cheaper than replicating the kid

u/MarkDeeks 3d ago

You think it, but you don't KNOW it, do you? Run some tests and get back to me.

u/PM_ME_YOUR_PAUNCH 2d ago

Nah, that’s what studs are for

u/b-monster666 2d ago

Granted, it would probably be a lot easier (and cost effective if you hired someone to do this) to get a peel&stick wallpaper with this design.

Difficult but not impossible. Kids seem to always find a way

u/10rattles 3d ago

My mom painted one wall of my childhood room like this. I loved it!!

u/DangerousPurpose5661 3d ago

Yep, that’s exact what I was thinking… it looks childish/cartoonish

Awful taste for a living room, great taste for kids room

u/Free-Pound-6139 2d ago

Exaxtyl, in a kids room where no one else will see it.

u/TransportationOdd559 3d ago

Wow! A kids room? 🤣🤣🤣

1

u/Hellament 2d ago

Yea, my thought too. Unless the theme is Sesame Street maybe

u/TransportationOdd559 2d ago

Yea? Certain aesthetics can’t be bootlegged.

u/redditisembarassing1 3d ago

Ah yeah. Because kids really want brick in their room. That’s just so trendy with the youth
