Hubby does and uses it regularly, luckily (for me) with headphones in the media room in the basement, as far away from me as I can get him, as he prefers to listen to Kyuss and other stoner metal st...uff :p. He has a large collection of diverse records he's been buying since he was a teenager (but still listens to that impossible stuff that he enjoys enormously whilst when I hear it I start running around covering my ears&screaming :)).

I have to admit that I love it! Roughly painted bricks can add a beautifully rough touch to an otherwise very clinical space and act as a feature in and of itself. Solidly painted walls can add that subtly needed touch when you can't quite go all out in naked brick, but as several people mention above - it's all about the space and getting the right feel for where you are and who's going to be living there in my opinion.

I don’t think so, if done well can mix traditional and character with more modern lay outs. my house is Victorian Character cottage, with stone floors etc. and most of our downstairs is open plan (big kitchen, dining and living room), it’s got more character if anything and I love it!
