Yeah the carpet goes flat at the bottom. Took my brain 10 seconds to process it.

This is an interesting house. It was supposedly built in 1981 and remodeled in 1990 but the realtor babble calls it a "mid century modern" (lol) and the styling seems to be a mishmash of 60s/70s/80s. There's a super neato relief sculpture in the living room  and enclosed balconies over the two-level sunroom/greenhouse that abuts the other rooms in the house and has outdoor balconies attached to it. Balconies on balconies on balconies.    A tile floor art studio on the upper level next to the bedrooms - I dig the fold-down counters  The bathrooms are the weirdest part. This one gives new meaning to the term "hall bath".  These fixtures look older than 1981 don't they?  Personally I feel like $550k was too high a price given that it hasn't been remodeled in 30 years, you'd have to reno the bathrooms (old fixtures ok, carpet NOT OK) and it's in Provo UT. Guess that's why I'm not a realtor.

I'd buy that house just for the trio of tiddies. HOT drat. Three? Three of them. What the gently caress is that weird bathroom though.

I dig the big rooms and some of the wood paneling, but they went kind of nuts with the wood at times, and those bathrooms aren't great. The enclosed balcony is also kind of an odd design choice.

For Foothill Drive in Provo that price isn't bad at all. It's as high up the hill as you can build, and you have state/nat'l park land behind you. You're also right on the fault line, but we'll ignore that. As a reference point, my grandparents' 1600 sq ft post-ww2 tract home on .2 acres with a detached 1 car garage is worth $220,000 now. Utah's prices aren't California ridiculous yet, but they're trying. TheMadMilkman fucked around with this message at 05:32 on Dec 28, 2017 |

I don't mind this one too much. If you pulled up the carpet and put in some abstract furniture it would make a p. sweet "art" house. Some Verner Panton or similar would look ballin:

NotJustANumber99 posted:Why would anyone do that? I don't really rate the place to start with but the addition is literally money spent on nothing? We are likely going to get something like that added onto our house at some point (not a horrible mismatched one like that though!). Primarily because it's nice to have a place that's out of the weather for people to enter the house in, shake off the rain etc and to have packages placed where they won't get ruined in the rain.

Who's up for some retro bad design ideas?  smdh if you can't picture the exact 50s/60s shade each of those listed colors is.   I'm almost impressed at their commitment to that deep shade of blue. Almost. And in a completely different room, welcome to the flower hell dimension:  They even got to the toilet lid.

As for the dark blue cabinet top and wall, I like that shade, I think that it goes OK with the dark wood. Shame about the appliance colors, though. OTOH, the bathroom is heinous

Pigsfeet on Rye posted:Yeah, but it's pretty small by today's standards (11 cubic feet of refrigerator + 2 cubic feet of freezer) Today's *American* standards. A combined 250 to 300 litres (9 to 11 cubic feet) is very normal for a UK built-in fridge-freezer. I think it's been mentioned here before but there's literally a category on UK appliance websites for "American-style" fridge-freezers which is the big two door dealios y'all fill your kitchens with. The thing that amuses me about the first fridge they show is that the homeowner lost two drawers and a cupboard in order to fit it.

If I was in a situation where I could pick my own fridge & freezer(aka 'not renting'), I'd honestly be down for something where the usual fridge:freezer ratio is reversed. I don't need 5+ goddamned shelves for refrigerated food; I don't think I've ever needed more than two of them on a cheapo apartment thin fridge, let alone one of the two-door kinds. But I do need freezer space for costco runs, extra meat, frozen vegetables for emergencies/laziness, etc.

Fridges here usually have a few smaller doors that maximize compartment specialization. Ours is basically like this and I love it. My in-laws have the 2 doors on top and I find it frustrating to not see everything immediately, and the lesser used door fills up with neglected condiments and sauces. Get one like this if available  Otoh, I go shopping 3-4 times a week and avoid canned and frozen food. Our freezer is mostly fruit for jam and mochi for mochi. https://www.biccamera.com/bc/item/3807222/ Regular Fridge Ice / Freezer Tray Drinks and veggie overflow Freezer

Yup, bought fresh every week from the egg vending machine on my way home from work. They sometimes have twin yolk eggs which are huge and horrific.

Pretty "lovely" pictures, but this is my parents upstairs bathroom. I feel it deserves some kind of recognition.   Unchanged since the 1970s aside from a new throne. I have to say I like the old style mixer tap with two knobs.

What are y'all's opinions about architraves and other such business? Style and colour. Do you think a house needs to be consistent throughout or adjust based on the surroundings of the door? Tell me all your thoughts.

I've been fridge shopping for our new home and it's frustrating trying to find a nice fridge that doesn't have a built-in ice / water dispenser, let alone with more doors + more compartmentalization. I'm super jealous of the fridge my in-laws have; four compartments plus a handy pop-open door that let's you grab beverages without opening the whole fridge. Wife has some pretty grand ideas for our new home involving knocking down walls? I'm thinking we should fix that huge red accent wall first, and maybe get rid of the 70s era carpet that plagues all the bedrooms.
