Baronjutter posted:I've never really seen houses like on her blog. they seem like weird alien TV sets. I like how she got into kit houses and suddenly it was like "hey, here's all the houses that look like where I live!" I don't know how many are actual kit houses or just houses built in the same general turn of the century to pre-war times. A cool construction history thing I learned though is that a ton of the houses of a certain vintage (I think 30's) where I live are all made out of old box-cars. Around that time the railway was switching from wood to metal cars, or just had a ton of wood cars they retired. So people bought up this wood for cheap and used it for houses, and when you are doing a reno you'll clearly see old box-car ads and CPR logo's and reporting marks and stuff on the boards. Nah, around here they were WPA projects using stolen Sears-catalog-house plans with peach crates & salvaged shutters for sheathing. Thank god the framing was overbuilt (except for the 24" O.C. 2X4 roof joisting with no purlins) PainterofCrap fucked around with this message at 14:35 on Jan 16, 2017 |

Why is the bedroom so big?? You could fit a spacious bachelor into that space. I never understood the massive-bedroom house design fad. I knew a guy back in the day and his parents had a 70's house and the master bedroom was probably the biggest room in the house. It was a huge house, 3br, the master was probably something insane like 17x25, the 2 other bedrooms were at least 15x15, every bedroom had its own bathroom, plus another full 3-piece bathroom. Then they had a tiny tiny dining room, a tiny kitchen, and a small living room (which were each their own rooms, not open plan). The use of space was so weird.

The thing I could never understand was a separate bidet from the toilet. Call me low class, but how do you use that? Wipe with paper, then wash with the bidet? Hobble over to the bidet with your rear end dripping to let it wash you? People who have an extra living area in the bedroom are the ones who have to be told to stop doing things in their bedrooms that isn't sleeping. Bedrooms are for sleeping and fuckin. Oh well I'm just gonna crank out a few sets on the ol' bench press next to my bed while I watch a movie in here and file my taxes.This is why you people can't sleep.

Then they had a tiny tiny dining room, a tiny kitchen, and a small living room (which were each their own rooms, not open plan). The use of space was so weird. My wife's parents' house is built in the 70's. The master suite is literally the entire back half of the upstairs. You walk in through double doors into what is essentially a living room. There is a sofa and a TV. To the right, you step up onto a raised area where the bed is. This is basically the size of a normal bedroom. To the left, you go through a hall with full closets on each side leading to the bathroom. The bathroom contains a walk-in shower, a tub, and a wraparound counter top with two sinks and a vanity. The three other bedrooms are more or less glorified closets. My house, also built in the 70's, has a reasonable master bedroom. We have a queen bed in there and a couple of dressers, nothing fancy. The other bedrooms are pretty small by my standards - not much room for more than a twin bed and a dresser. We put a double bed in the one room for guests and it leaves very little room for walking. My sister in law had built an addition on her previous house. The master bedroom became the largest room in the house. Easily 2x the size of the living room. The master bath also became absurdly huge. Why? She still had what was effectively a galley kitchen, and couldn't fit a full size table in the dining room. She asked why we bought a house with such a small master bedroom.  edit There's a house in my neighborhood that sold recently, same model as my house. They annexed the one bedroom into the master bedroom. The entire space of the annexed bedroom is now their california king bed.

I think there was this thing at some point in the 70s where parents had their own space, like, kids aren't allowed in there. So the rest of the house is for the kids, or maybe entertaining, but then you need a "retreat" where you can get some privacy, not just for sleeping and sex but just at any time of the day. Alternative explanation: TV sets have to be big enough in every room to fit the scenes being filmed, plus the film crew and director etc. So when we watch TV we get the sense that bedrooms are huge, and that affects our society-wide sense of how big a bedroom "should be."

Yeah I guess different people use rooms differently and view their purpose differently. For me a bedroom is a place I spend 99% unconscious. I never want to hang out there or do much anything other than sleep, so that room can be small and simple. I'll spend many hours in the living room and kitchen though, so those 2 rooms should be the priority. Bathroom is just for shits and showers, so as long as it's not cramped it's all good, but it's a purely functional room, not a place I'd want to spend any time beyond those functions. But I could see people with kids they hate creating mega-bedrooms as sanctuaries with TV's and a desks and and almost a whole suite. Or people that spend hours "getting pretty" or love long bubble baths with a book wanting a big luxurious bathroom. But who the hell wants a tiny claustrophobic kitchen? People who only eat out?

My brother's house has a 1,000 sq ft master suite (the whole house is 5000). The real trouble is decorating that large a bedroom. You could fit 2 king beds in there and still have room for dressers, etc. I will credit him for buying a very well-built house. Buying the builder'a own house tends to work out in that regard.

I think a lot of evening chilling that's done in living rooms now used to be in bedrooms. Like after dinner, you would put the kids to bed, and then you would go to bed to read or watch Johnny Carson on the TV that was practically mandatory in nice bedrooms. Now the living room has the TV and consoles and media stuff, and if you chill it's there. I don't think I know anyone with a TV in their bedroom anymore -- if you want to watch something in bed, you just do it on a tablet/phone.

Yeah that's a good point, back when TV's were fat and expensive people had them in every room, now that they're slim and cheap everyone I know has one TV tops in the living room. I just don't see bedroom TV's anymore. When I was a kid growing up we all had TV's sitting on our dressers, a TV in the den, and a TV in the basement, it was insane. In fact a lot of people just don't seem to have TV's period, just a laptop they set up to watch their shows on. Sometimes it's lovely when you try to have people over to watch a movie and it's a laptop sitting on a stool in front of the sofa, or a laptop hooked up to a slightly larger PC monitor sitting on a stool.

It's because you're not a kid anymore. When we were kids, the different rooms were so you could go play Nintendo while your parents watched the news. Or so they could watch TV after you went to bed. Now that we're all grown up, we don't need a lot of TVs

Honestly it's because phones, tablets, and laptops replaced the TV as the standard bedroom distraction device. It wouldn't surprise me if smaller cheap flatscreen TV sales went on the decline in direct correlation with the rise of smartphone sales; those were the TV's you had in the bedroom or kitchen a few years back. Now is way easier to just have the personal electronic around with the user to provide customized entertainment, instead of each room needing it's own setup to get a more limited suite of functions.

Think it's a towel knob for the bidet. Avoid drip dry. Only house I lived in with a bidet was in Cannes. Our cats would sleep in it. The idea of a bidet - at least, back in the '70s when I lived there & was so told - was that the French do/did not shower every day. They would use the bidet & washcloths & such, and take a shower/bath once or twice a week. Locals I knew thought Americans had a cleanliness fetish.
