Could you MS Paint a layout?

Could you go for a smaller dining room table and maybe use a desk in there? What other functions and uses are not being met by your house?

I recently purchased an early 1900s craftsman bungalow with a formal dining room and I’m at a loss with what to do with it. 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.

We stuck an old buffet type thing in there and put the microwave on it. Cause that's one piece of ugly kit we didn't want in the kitchen, but it's right there when we need 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.

Radiator panel made in 1862. You probably just need to go dig through some museum or library collections for examples of brasswork that function as grills, even if it's not specifically for a radiator. Fire screens or window bars come to mind. I found the above flipping through the Victoria and Albert's website.

I have a question on taste for interior design.

My master bedroom closet backs up to the bathroom and shares a wall with the toilet/sink. I have several large holes in the closet from where my plumbing was replaced a couple months ago. I have yet to patch these holes because of :effort:

and plans to do some more work in the wall.

I realize I have some really old and thick shiplap in my garage, and instead of patching the sheetrock, I'm thinking it might be wiser to use these boards and just shiplap up a couple of feet of the wall, which is similar to how the bathroom is done (with the same boards). This would have the huge benefit of allowing me to unscrew the boards and get back into the wall if I ever need to.

Here's what the bathroom looks like. You can see the shiplap installed in vertical sections. I would run it horizontally in the closet.

and yes, my bathroom is pinku and kawaii

That is beadboard if it helps. I guess it doesn't matter how it looks in the closet, but it's intended to be vertical.

I found some pendulous desks to go with our pendulous ceiling titties.

They're so round and organic and fluid. I want the banana flavored one, but I have no where to put it and it would be so incongruous with the rest of my poo poo.

Archive.org's Building Technology Heritage Library is a godsend for finding period architectural details like this.

The tumblr I pulled those from has a hard-on for worn and decaying architectural features. Every bit of chipped plaster, exposed masonry, and rusting ceiling tile is vintage/industrial/artsy/boho chic and I've really come to loath it.

Maybe it's just the annoying faux-poverty poo poo applied to urban style that makes it seem worse, but I hate it even more than the farmhouse shanty look.

I'm looking to remodel our bathroom very soon and I fell in love with those Glasgow tiles shown earlier in the thread so I was looking up places to buy something similar local to me. Under "Vintage and retro tiles" they have things like this. Why, why would anyone ever spend good money on this?

Sometimes you want to decorate your house like it's a SAW movie. A look that says, "Hell yeah I'm a serial killer!"

quote:

From the exterior, the Captain Barnes mansion looks like a madman�s lair, a hulking, paint-flaking white-brick facade..

Ground floor: The front dining room, which includes a sponge bust of Neptune, will stay the same. What�s now the kitchen will be a bar, just for the house, because �that�s how we roll.� A gilded California King�size bed-platform that�s loosely modeled after Louis XIV�s last sleeping quarters will probably get a dance pole and become a stage. �I�m not kidding�these are things that not only am I capable of doing but possibly will do,� Biagio insists. �Most homeowners like this are 50 to 60 years old and they pay a contractor to do this stuff. Me, there�s nothing that I can�t do. And if I can�t do it, I�ll figure it out.�

Basement: The brick oven is already installed. In addition, Biagio envisions a smoking room, a wine cellar, a gym, an aquarium with something exotic. (�Maybe like octopus, jellyfish, or a seahorse?�) A hot tub done in white marble dust, with a map of the world engraved on the bottom. �And I will just be sitting here, with my feet on the world.�
