As far as I know, there's no way around that. If, in the process of digging that hole I happen to break a gas line, well, that's a mistake that needs to be fixed. But alas, no gas lines were broken. You dumbass, it's like knowing full well there are gas pipes there, getting warned there are gas pipes there, seeing that the gas pipes are an important structural part of the house, and cutting into them anyway without researching what you are looking at. You're dumb as gently caress. You're so far up yourself you can't see that. You're trying to justify it with slimy, sleazy salesman talk, you're too thick to see that your pitch is to yourself and you're selling the lie of competence. You're a case study for the dunning kruger effect. Post the pics.

while I admit I thought I could do it all myself until you all put me on blast, and while I wasn't planning on engaging the services of a loving structural engineer because I thought I knew what I was doing, I DID NOT MAKE A MISTAKE and that is the only important takeaway here. I am still a cool and good genius with a perfect bathroom for someday selling to theoretical females you prideful idiot

At this point I feel like this guy's some kind of troll. He's completely derailing this thread by just making a content-free post in it once a week or so. Can we talk about interior decorating instead of prideful morons, please?

I do like to define by mistakes by whether other people can go in and fix it for me. 'The joist would have had to have been cut for a sunken tub regardless" is actually a long way from "I cut my joists off with no concern for the structural damage, and then had to call in experts to do the job properly."

I'm moving next week and trying to decorate my house to some degree of "adult like." I got a bunch of prints but they're all wonky sizes and none of them fit into regular frames despite having white space on the borders to look as though they're matted. Better to buy bigger frames and mat them myself, or cut down the white space to fit them into a regular frame? Also, is there any way to display things like peacock feathers in a vase without my cats chewing them up?

Better to buy bigger frames and mat them myself, or cut down the white space to fit them into a regular frame? So pre-made frames you buy are pretty much always for photos and have really standard dimensions that art doesn't follow at all. Another option is to hitup some thrift stores and see if they have art you can steal the frames from for your own prints. At the very least, gutting some grandma's lovingly preserved bible quote can give you an idea of how to mat if you've never done it before. Invest in a long, possibly grid ruler and a box-cutter with a pack of new blades. As for whether to do it at all, that really comes down to how big you want the framed piece to end up which depends on how and where you're hanging it. The margins around your print are ideally there to give something for the mat to overlap, so cutting them down instead is fine if you want a smaller piece over all. But if you want something big you'll need to mat it out. Allow me to use this ridiculous piece of hotel art as an example.  When your ugly art is expensive, but matting isn't.

I'm sorry the lighting is preventing you from enjoying the true beauty of Generic Hotel Abstract number one billion. (It's a really ugly painting. I think they matted it so large in the hopes it would distract from that.)

It’s always funny when someone asks me what piece of art they should put on their walls. Like, I have a pretty broad understanding of and appreciation for art because I go to a lot of museums and took a minor in college, I can’t just give you “one art, please!” Pick something important to you personally, or that speaks to you specifically. It’s your wall.

So I have 3 boob lights in my house that I finally moved into. One's in a hallway, one's in a converted attic/spare bedroom, and one's in a dining room. What can or should I put in their place? The dining room I'd probably want a smallish hanging pendant or whatever a dinner table lamp is called. I like midcentury modern stuff, and this house hasn't been updated since it was built in the 50s so it might actually fit. All the plumbing is original, I had plumbers in to fix a lot of things and they were losing their minds.

Light that is used to illuminate and reveal instead hides. It shrouds it and protects. But does it protect us from the art or the art from us.

I trimmed a little bit of margin from a poster print to fit into a standard frame. Weird sizes you have to go big, go custom, or hang as a bare canvas (if it's a canvas.)

I love bats. :3 Once we move I will experiment with the suggestions but I'm sort of regretting getting the prints on paper and not canvas. A friend bought me a canvas print and that one I'm not worried about because I can just throw it up on the wall unlike the paper prints. Either way, gonna invest in Dramatic Hotel Art mood lighting.

Labes for days posted:I love bats. :3 you can do a similar style with the paper print. Use some 2x1 lumber to make a frame, then staple/nail a piece of hardboard to the frame. cut the print to size with about 1/4in overhang. Laminate the whole thing down to the hardboard and then use a boarder tape or veneer trim on the exposed side edges. If you don't have access to laminate or a roller press a print shop should be able to do it cheap and quick.

I'm having trouble choosing doors. Here's the selection I'm currently looking at: https://deantawood.co.uk/interior-doors/products/?product_tag=fire-door&product_cat=white-primed My instinct has me leaning towards the more traditional panelled versions to offset the more minimalist decor elsewhere, but I'm at a bit of a loose thread.

The rest are just boring generic doors every place has.

What I want to know is, does it still count as a boob light if it doesn't have the nipple? My house has a few where the dome itself threads directly into the base. They honestly never bothered me.
