gently caress bench pics or 3 day probation...... Mods? And to show I'm a good sport (or an idiot, possibly), if he posts 6 pictures or more of three different gently caress benches (at least two of each one) , I'll take a three day probe(ation). 1-6 pics, no probations for either of us. Pics have to be various angles and whatnot, not just two pics of the same bench from the same angle. wesleywillis fucked around with this message at 22:34 on Mar 22, 2019 |

That side table is super ostentatious and not really my thing. I was pretty dang tipsy when I wrote that long ramble, and while I don't intend for all my work to be derivative of MCM, it's just an easy, ubiquitous thing to point to for me. In my head, metal is under represented, and I wanna change that. Metal furniture, and metal MCM has been done, no doubt, but I don't think it's finished, and part of what's in my head right now is to start there. Also my drat coworker keeps making lovely stools and a "bar" (which is just a loving plate on two scrap pieces of i-beams.) and I want to bury him with better metal furniture.

I love art nouveau and even I know that a house full of it would be unbearable. I've got two mirrors in that style, and I think I could accommodate a third piece before reaching a frivolity tipping point.

Lousy pictures ahoy! Nothing's hung up because I'm redoing ceilings which has had a domino effect on not getting unpacked and settled in.  This one is probably more art deco, what with the lotus motifs. It's going to replace the bathroom mirror at some point.

Hey, I thought the one I made from that drawing had potential. If I'd made if of aluminum pipe instead of mild steel with the lovely mill scale coating, that probably would've went a long way. Shine it up real nice and, Iunno, maybe a lil Eileen Gray? And yes, sex furniture tends to be a bit one note, huh?

Yeah, the art installation is nicer because you can retract the spikes, real anti-homeless architecture just has the unretractable spikes

peanut posted:floorplan and/or description of your household lifestyle plz. https://imgur.com/a/tHT4Ddp This is essentially the floor plan, but not 100% exact. There’s also an enclosed sun room off the back of the house + partially finished basement. We have an 18mo old babby so I had considered just making it a dedicated play room. I like the idea of being able to have dinner parties, but they will likely never happen.

A formal dining room that you have to walk through anyway? Use it! How big is the kitchen and living room? I can't quite make out the numbers on that image.

Kase moch posted:Probably a dumb question - do 2 of the upstairs bedrooms have 3 closets? As I said it’s not quite exact, two of the bedrooms have one large closet, the 3rd has some sort of weird double closet. I think it may have been intended to use as some sort of utility/spare room as one of the closets has a small radiator in it.

This might be quite a specific question but I'm hoping someone might be able to help. I am covering a radiator in the living room with a cabinet and want to replace the slightly rubbish mdf grill that came with the cabinet with a nicer metal one. The house is a Victorian brick mid terrace (in the UK) so what I would quite like to do is get a metal grill with a period appropriate pattern and material (so probably zinc or brass). However I'm finding it hard to find any resources that actually tell me what sorts of grill patterns are appropriate for a late Victorian house so I was hoping that someone here might have an idea or be able to point me in the right direction. In case it isn't clear these are the sort of grills I am talking about.

The kitchen is just a little small to put an eat-in table there, but it seems silly to dedicate an entire room to eating like that. Whatup fellow craftsman bungalow owner! I don't know how big your kitchen is but ours does not have a ton of cabinet space - less than our previous, modern home did, even though the modern home was half the square footage. So we do have a "formal" dining room in that we have a dining room table, china cabinet, and buffet. The china cabinet holds a lot of our regular dishes and glassware enabling us to keep the kitchen cabinets free for kitchen stuff. Our home plan does not have any original closets - a few were added as retrofits but because there wasn't planned space for them they are incredibly small and cramped. So our dining room also has our cedar chest that we use instead of a linen closet. Having to find furniture for storage was probably the biggest adjustment for me to living in an older house. Luckily, my older relatives have inherited pieces no one wants because storage furniture is out of style, so we got both the cabinet and chest for free. We don't eat in there in a formal way but because it's between the kitchen (back of house) and front door it becomes the default area for breakfast / early morning email checking / going through the mail. Having a large table is also nice for the kinds of temporary projects that you don't want to devote a room to, like gift wrapping or (right now) starting seeds. I also enjoy having potlucks and barbeques, and it's really nice to have a place to serve food that is separate from where I'm trying to wash dishes or prepare things. I grew up with the shared kitchen and dining, so it was an adjustment, but unless you break out the candlesticks and silverware it doesn't have to be a "formal" dining room.

vonnegutt posted:Whatup fellow craftsman bungalow owner! I’m coming from a 50s cape cod house so this kitchen is bigger space wise, but still not much room in the cabinets for small appliances. Thankfully someone build a small closet in the corner of the dining room at some point so we’ve been using that for stuff like the instapot and stand mixers. Though they did a real bad job of making it so we’re ripping the drywall off to redo and so we can match the 6in trim. I’ve spent the last week ripping ugly rear end floral wallpaper off of horse hair plaster walls and ripping up stained to poo poo carpet to get to the heart pine floors underneath, it’s been a real treat.

Feel free to tell me why I’m wrong but if you have an awkward kitchen and a formal dining room in an old house I think it’s totally ok to join the two into a more functional space.

Electric Bugaloo posted:Feel free to tell me why I’m wrong but if you have an awkward kitchen and a formal dining room in an old house I think it’s totally ok to join the two into a more functional space. In my case the kitchen is actually set up really well for food prep - we've added a small island and a butcher block and have a pretty optimal "work triangle" between the butcher block, gas stove, and large farmhouse sink. There's a lot of natural light over the prep areas as well. There just isn't space for a table and chairs. Likewise, the dining room has lovely natural light and some of the best trim work in the house with the chair rails and large French doors. Extensive renovation could remove the walls separating them, but the entire kitchen would have to be rearranged, and the only benefit would be that we could eat in the kitchen.
