Could you paint a toilet with that appliance touch-up paint?

Man I was just thinking, as I scrolled, "haven't seen the Eames chair in a while." Then in the VERY NEXT PHOTO, bam there you go.

I mean he's right though, it is awkward to find the store clerk has jerked it on the floor with your hoe.

Might be a kosher kitchen. They have two sinks and tend to be bigger with more counter space to make food prep easier with all the strict ingredient segregation and other rules.
I have always heard those described as a "prep sink" - for when you just need to wash your hands quick or rinse off some fruit and don't need the massive sink (which is probably full of dirty dishes anyway).

Man that white toilet is kinda jarring in that last photo. Might be one of the few applications where one of those weird 70s brown toilets would actually look better.

I had seen the photo before but never noticed the showerhead, which makes the carpet an even worse idea. The window height contributes to the suggestion that is a room with a normal tub and a really tall sink counter, slowly filling with mold.

This is probably the most mundane question ever, but does anyone have thoughts on hand soap dispensers? Should it match the hardware (chrome, nickle, etc) of the faucet head? I'm not sold on touch-free due to price, replacing batteries, and being more likely to fail. Foaming dispensers seem cool, but I feel like part of the point of washing your hands is that creating lather ensures you're scrubbing off germs.

I like to match them to the soft furnishings/accents, so something that complements the towels/shower curtain.
E: and yeah, avoid the automatic ones, they are a pain to deal with long-term.

It is doing my head in that the corner post originates on a stair tread and not on the landing.

Remember how Elliot from Mr Robot lived in a run-down apartment on a lovely, dirty block? This is 3 buildings down on that same block.

I genuinely thought those photos were CG renders until I saw the giant random Brillo box.

What is up with the bathtub faucet?

It looks like the faucet was installed in the overflow hole so it's weirdly low and impractical for filling the tub. And there's no shower curtain to allow for an actual shower, so how do you use it?

Hello fellow Austin goon. That looks great!

Removing popcorn ceilings honestly isn't hard, but it is a bit time consuming depending on how much work is needed after you scrape it off.

If your ceiling hasn't been painted, you can scrape it off pretty quickly. After that, if the drywall is in good shape, you can do minimal patching and seal (Zinsser Gardz), or do a level 5 finish and then seal and paint. I did removed the popcorn from my 1991 Austin house when I bought it and put up a level 5 finish. I did have the luxury of not living here while I was doing it though, so I didn't have to deal with the dust where I slept and ate.

If it has been painted, that's another story. Also, based on the age of your house I guess there is more of a risk of asbestos.

Years ago, I watched a home-reno show where they recommended (and demonstrated) spraying the ceiling with water to loosen the glue/paint, then easily scraping off big swathes of popcorn with a wide mudding trowel. Is that a valid method or was I lied to by PBS?

people who put drop ceilings in their house are baffling to me, why would you want to make it look like an office

Eh, I could see it in e.g. a basement where you have a bunch of wires and pipes and poo poo you need to be able to access, but you also don't want spiders dropping on your head while you're doing laundry.
