there wolf posted:This is the place. We give out advice in between posting weird stuff. Cool, thanks. One of the reasons I wasn't sure vintage was the right style is because it's a 70's ranch home...nothing else in the house has that look...I mean, there's basically NO real style/look since I have almost no furniture, and have only finished painting one room, my bedroom. I don't mind the look of what you posted, other than the vanity/sink. I don't like raised/farmhouse style sinks. All my experiences with them just leads to a LOT of water splashed everywhere. The cabinet above the toilet is just a free-standing one, so that's easy to get rid of. I also am thinking about removing the linen closet and just have a couple floating shelves in it's place?But then I'd have to commit to removing all the tile in the lower half of the wall and either doing a different tile, or something like the wainscoting in that example. Which I'm not against, I feel more comfortable doing wainscoting than tile, honestly. Oh, and I didn't mention but the medicine cabinet there now is a built-in one. I'll get some more photos tonight.

I like the shape of it, tbh. I'd re-upholster it, and also turn it to face the tittywall. The real crime here is the bed that looks like its a foot away from the wall and just floating in the middle of the room. What the hell.

I suggest taking stock of what supplies you have in your bathroom. What can you get rid of [ie move to other storage spaces in the bathroom or house] and what can be compiled into a single area. That way you can reconsider the Tower of Pissa sitting on/over your toilet tank. I also vote to get rid of the drapes. They look out of place for being so low and in the way. I understand why they're there, though. There's tinted or frosted window vinvyl coverings for the sake of privacy. It would bring in more light and keep it from looking so gloomy. Alternatively, paint a mural of mermaids with sunflowers on their tiddies to tie the room together.

I left the blinds because they're the only good ones in the house, cordless and new. I'll get my own drapes or probably just one of those frosted window appliques. I also have no plans to keep the toilet shelf. It's not built in, though it was assembled around the toilet. A cross bar at the bottom goes behind the toilet. I think I'll have to keep the closet since I don't want to do major reno, taking down the wall of the closet, etc...so that leaves me room to store things.

The bed having only one pillow, combined with all the tasteful paintings of naked ladies, makes that photo particularly pathetic.

We have two of these and they are a BITCH to deal with if you have to do any toilet repairs. You have to take everything out of the cabinet and then get another person to help lift it up and over the tank because of that bar in the back. Awful design. I know it's for stability but there has to be a better way. And if you have a baseboard in your bathroom, it won't fit snug against the wall so when you lean back whilst making GBS threads the whole thing shifts back and things inside rock. THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAAAY.

I have a behind/above toilet storage unit like that... My plan is to eventually just saw off the legs and bolt it to the wall about a foot higher than it currently is. Honestly the better way is just wall mounted shelves.

What's the best way to level bookcases in a room that has a majorly sloping floor? (I'm 90% sure the house isn't falling apart, it's just funky and old.) I've got one small bookcase with a solid bottom, and two barrister bookcases with legs. One is an heirloom. It seems like installing adjustable feet is the way to go but is there maybe a less destructive option before I start drilling into antiques?

Wood shims? Pretty sure you could buy a pack of cedar shims at home depot or similar stores. It it looks ugly, you could trim them to fit under the bookcase feet.

I've asked in one of the home improvement ish threads but didn't get a reply. Since we're having bathroom remodel chat, I eventually want to redo the bath and vanity in this small guest bathroom. I replaced the toilet and floor tile when I bought the house but that was the most I could afford at the time. The toilet has an ugly cabinet and soffit above it. I suspect the soffit is used to hide the roof vent for the toilet so that it doesn't go through the top plate of the wall. But I'm pretty sure the wall is not load bearing since it is an interior room with a truss roof and a parallel wall across the living room was not load bearing, according to the engineer I hired when I remodeled my kitchen. Any ideas how roof vents are normally routed through the top plate of the wall construction with 2x4s? Could I fit some sort of soaking tub in here and a more modern or updated vanity? I don't have a good photo of the bathroom, but this is from early 2015 when I bought the house and replaced the flooring and toilet. The toilet and vanity are on the right wall. The soffit is about 14-15" deep and drops down about 12". I'm not sure how wide it is. I guess it's about the same width or a little wider than the toilet tank. It creates an awkward, dim area between the shower and the wall where moisture was condensing in spite of having a brand new vent fan.

MetaJew posted:I've asked in one of the home improvement ish threads but didn't get a reply. Since we're having bathroom remodel chat, I eventually want to redo the bath and vanity in this small guest bathroom. You need to open up the soffit (aka furrdown) and look for yourself. A lot of houses were constructed with those to hang the cabinet off and the fartpipe is in the wall. If you can find alternative storage, you (and Dr. Bouv) might consider a pedestal sink, which will seemingly open that corner up a bit. Tear out the tub and put in one with jacuzzi jets, why not. I have a similar 5'x8' bathroom that was uglier than yours, and that's what we did. You'll have to run or get an electrician to run wire for dedicated breakers for the tub, but hell.

The problem with inline images is you're not giving the person the choice whether to visit it or not. Maybe in their office art boobs are cool, maybe not, but they aren't given a chance to decide either way.

Someone made some sort of greasemonkey extension to hide posts made by Shagger. Or fishmech? One of them. It completely erases their posts and quotes. You could probably modify the code to include every user on the forums. That's an excessive kind of minimalism though, but hey, if you want clean blank posts then go hog wild!!

I'm going to have a chat with the mod crew about the NSFW thing. It doesn't make sense to come down hard on borderline stuff when there's literal (albeit tiny) porn smilies left over from the porn subforum. We should either get rid of them or loosen up in general.
