Is it weird to feel guilt about using MDF for period features (dado)?
Can't help feeling it undermines an otherwise nicely considered and good quality renovation. I'm not prissy about everything being period correct as that can lead to the place looking like a pastiche. But if you're going for a period correct feature (dado in the hallway with painted embossed paper under and a different colour above) you want to use appropriate materials right? Up to a point. I mean I'll be using modern paint etc so is if daft to feel odd about using MDF?
Or am I being overly precious?
