Just don’t cut the wire and you can change it if you don’t like it.

n8r posted:I recently bought a house with quite a few mid century design elements. It was subject to a remodel in 2011 that had some corners cut on fixtures. Anyone recommend a site for good quality fixtures with mid century design influences? Ideally we get bright ones as well because the house has only a few can lights and is built into a hillside. Here's a good jumping-off resource point. If I ever buy the atomic ranch of my dreams, this is the blog I'm going to use as my reference for renovating it.

Snowy posted:I’m putting in some pendant lights over a small island, these ones in particular I can measure the height I used in my kitchen,but basically, I made the cord about 12" from the ceiling cone to the light. I have 8ft ceilings. MetaJew posted:Finally got around to installing the ceiling boxes and cheapo pendant lights I picked up. Pretty happy with the results.

Snowy posted:I haven’t had an island or pendant lights before, is there some reason I’m missing that make me regret having them that high? - Might not have the desired illumination pattern/brightness on the island - Shorter people may have the bulb shine in their eyes when sitting at the island Possible cons of putting them lower at 36”: - Blocks sight lines for taller people. Counter height is 36”, so the bottom of the pendant will be at 6’ off the ground. If you’re, say, 6’4” that puts it just slightly above your eyes when you’re standing. I’d say your ceiling height and layout is a big factor. Might look weird to you either way, depending. We put ours at 40”, and I’m glad of it. We have a high kitchen ceiling, though, and the kitchen is open to the living room. I’m 6’0”.

I think it looks great, well done. Bold move posting that toilet shot just straight up, I would’ve asked for a picture of everyone else’s bathroom before the reveal.

Every hotel I've been at that has that shower glass looks good but isn't functional at all. I don't know how one keeps the water from getting everywhere. I hope there's a central drain.

The cistern is accessed by taking the button panel off the wall, other than that it's a regular toilet. falz posted:Every hotel I've been at that has that shower glass looks good but isn't functional at all. The rainfall shower head minimises splashing a lot, we get very minimal water on the floor. There's a central drain but it hasn't been needed so far.

Just want to let you guys know that I've found the most comfortable sofa in the world. It's good, folks: https://halo-collections.com/seating/luscious-track-sectional  Seating with pocket springs and all pillows with feathers, it's loving amazing.

It's good, folks: I've had feather-stuffed couches and they're pretty good for a short while until they become shapeless, formless, back-destroying nightmares. At this point I prefer firmer couches with more structural integrity to the pillows.
