Youth Decay posted:In New Orleans it really makes sense because traditional shotgun house layouts can be awkward. In this example would the office or living room be front of the house? I sort of like the idea of turning the office into a street-side studio and art gallery, and being able to close off the rest of my home to the public.

Brawnfire posted:In this example would the office or living room be front of the house? I believe the living room is the front, but imo if you flip the labels you accomplish the same thing and then I think the flow of the house is better too. I'd much rather have a larger studio/workspace than living room personally, however.

Agreed. I've always had a dream of a setup where I had a public "store" and a private "home" area, so I could just work where people can come and check out what I'm doing. This setup is ideal, or a lofted space or the Bob's Burgers setup would be amazing.

When I were a kid our local barber was a regular house where they'd knocked through the walls downstairs and put a door at the bottom of the stairs and a big glass window up front, so they'd live upstairs and work downstairs. I think that's fairly common with shops.

Brawnfire posted:In this example would the office or living room be front of the house? Kitchens are almost always at the back of shotgun houses. Keeps things cooler that way. That looks like one side of a shotgun double. I for one think all listings should have floorplans. Maybe because I live in New Orleans, but too many houses are just impossible to understand from realtor pictures alone. I usually assume that if there is no floorplan in the listing, there's going to be something bizarre about the layout.

Small shops attached to/inside houses are very common outside of suburban America's horrible zoning tiers. Luxury condos above retail space are a start, but not great for family businesses.

I think I found PRADA SLUT's Icelandic relatives. I dig the apartment, but question the placement of the second bathtub. No photo available of the bathroom, so I'm not sure the reason for bedside bathtubs or what the toilet situation is like. Those lights and the hanging desk is pretty sweet. Also, four entire computer screens? Sure, why not. There's no awful cables, either, which I like. The one thing I don't like is that there's apparently no door to the bedroom. I really require being closed off from the rest of the apartment. Give me my cave, dang it.      Apartment in Reykjavík / Iceland © S.Tsimbalyuk via: https://utwo.tumblr.com/post/188016781654

So in the US you pay for both selling and buying agents and neither of them manages to do a floor plan? How many % do they take?

3-4% each is typical

knox_harrington posted:So in the US you pay for both selling and buying agents and neither of them manages to do a floor plan? How many % do they take? The seller pays usually 6% to their agent. If the buyer has an agent, it doesn’t usually cost them anything out of pocket. The buyer’s agent and the seller’s agent split the 6% commission between them. For some reason, lots of buyers don’t use agents even though they are free, so often the seller’s agent keeps the whole 6%.

If you are in a market where houses move, you should always twist your realtor's arm for 5%. If he/she won't take it, someone else will.

I was so distracted by figuring out where the screen for the projector was supposed to go that I jumped when I saw the statue? The figure? The lady, I assume, due to the giant purple badonkadonks on the torso.

Not sure if this thread is the best place for possible design ideas, but I'm not very good at it, so looking to get some thoughts on my bathroom that desperately needs updating. Here it is, in all it's 70's glory:   Thought I had more/better photos, but I guess not. I've taken down the curtains and obviously removed that old bathmat...and, I'm sad to say, the Kitty Cat toilet lid is also gone. I also took off the Dixie cup dispenser and removed those sunflower accent pieces on the tiles...they aren't tiles themselves, just little metal covers that were glued on. A 5-in-1 painter's tool and some Goof Off took care of them nicely. I'm not planning on doing anything with the tub. It's a relatively new Bathfitter's install...is it great? No...very plain, but it's not in bad shape. Clean, and I removed and replaced all the caulking and it's functional. I also don't want to re-do the tiles on the wall. They're in ok shape, I scrubbed them all clean, only 1 of them is busted (one of the ones hidden behind those sunflower covers.) Mostly, I'm looking for ideas for the floor, paint colors, vanity/sink, medicine cabinet...which, BTW, is right now the only source of light in there...it has 2* florescent lights on either side of it. I don't need the replacement to have lights, I can just wire up lights on the side/above it instead...only real problem is doing it in a way that's not violating electrical code... I'm thinking I want to do a dark tile for the floor...I've looked at some black/dark grey hexagon tiles but haven't found ones that aren't (IMO) crazy expensive...why does a tile go from ~$1-1.50/sq ft to $6-7/sq ft because it's hexagon instead of square? But I feel the dark color floor would pop nicely against the bright white tub/shower area (not seen, but very white.) And then maybe a blue-ish color for the top half of the wall? But after that I'm lost...I don't know anything about "styles" of things like vanities and medicine cabinets/mirrors, other than a vague idea about a more modern vs a more comtemporary style. I'm asuming if I DO want to do dark (and possibly hexagon) tiles, I'd want a more modern feel, right? Which might be a vanity that's either on legs (as opposed to all the way down to the floor, like what's there now) or possibly even floating? My drain and water inlets are all on the wall, so that is a possibility. Any and all ideas welcome, and the best idea gets that Kitty toilet lid as a prize.

This is the place. We give out advice in between posting weird stuff. How much storage do you need in there, because the first thing I'd do is try and get more space by knocking out that over-the-toilet cabinet, and swapping the vanity for something either completely open, or at least up on legs. I wouldn't go floating because...well, it's an old bathroom and it's going to remain an old bathroom unless you gut it all the way to the studs. You're better off leaning into the vintage feel with your renovation.  Something like this where you have a small, intricate pattern on the floor tile, an open vanity, and a fairly neutral paint color would modernize the space and make the room feel bigger without making the shape or existing fixtures feel anachronistic. If you're opening up the wall for new electrical fixtures anyway, how about putting a built-in medicine cabinet behind a mirror for more storage?
