I'm assuming that is a shower, somehow, and was designed by someone way too fond of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

I used to have carpet, but my dog has been having urinary issues so I figure this is as good a time as any to replace it. Plus the carpet is eight years old and is generally kind of gross. I'll be getting these vinyl planks. In my experience, that stuff scratches pretty easily. You can kind of buff them out, but not completely. Otherwise it's pretty decent. luxury handset posted:intensely curious about if the stark white walls were a stylistic choice for this house or if it is a painfully difficult process to move this furniture / separate it from the matching cabinetry My money is on stark white because they were clearly going for a regency look. A tacky, anachronistic regency look...

You can also get new ones custom made: https://www.elmirastoveworks.com/ Then there's brands like AGA that do vintage-inspired ranges: https://www.aga-ranges.com/ A co-worker has an old 1920s house, beautifully restored, with a full Elmira Stove Works kitchen and it's gorgeous. The pictures on the site don't do their work justice but their instagram has some nice pics: https://www.instagram.com/elmirastoveworks/

There's a British TV program called Great British Pottery Throwndown – think Bake-off but for amateur potters. Last night the remaining four had to make toilets and they came up with these: https://twitter.com/PotteryThrow/status/1235323114227200001 The fly agaric mushroom was the worthy winner however none of them managed to surpass this magnificent toilet from the first series https://twitter.com/PotteryThrow/status/844998564916924416.

Is it still a McMansion if it's proportionately a real mansion? I thought the McMansion phenomenon referred to cookie cutter suburban monstrosities on oversized lots. That pool room looks bigger than my house.

"McMansion" is more about shoddy building practices and aesthetic agnosticism Plus you get things like Giant unused rooms with no furniture because square footage number goes up is good but man furniture costs money, huh?

My sense of scale is definitely warped from living in Boston-sized housing, but once a bedroom is big enough to fit a bed and maybe a desk or reading chair, what the hell do you do with the extra space?

just another posted:Is it still a McMansion if it's proportionately a real mansion? A mcmansion is more about a projection of luxury obviously done on the cheap, and that phenomenon can scale to encompass a lot of things. Kate Wagner of mcmansion hell created a chart for it that does a good job of showing how it's more about a bunch of things adding up to a mcmansion rather than an absolute definition. Another thing to keep in mind is that a lot of mcmansion stylistic features have trickled down into other housing stock, so even modern tract housing looks like mcmansions because it's got stuff like cascading gables and a slapdash mix of exterior finishes despite the square footage being way too small.

Rather than the vast tracts of just grass, or just scrub that you get with McMansions. It’s similar to the thinking that makes some people wear lots of gold jewellery. So you know they’re rich. ntan1 posted:It entirely depends on the product - there is a lot of really bad LVT out there, and there is a lot of really good LVT out there. It may be functional, but I’ve looked at all of the top 3 brands available in the UK (amtico, karndean, polyflor) extensively and decided it was gross, though I was looking for a stone / concrete tile effect rather than wood or something. The texture is just wrong, and it doesn’t look right.

McMansions in Texas, I thought, were these monstrosities with big wasted floor space such that there is basically no yard, and the lot is all house.

I put LVP in my bathroom a few months ago and got this from Lumber Liquidators (on 494, in Woodbury). 22 mil wear layer, and only a little more than that HD trash. I needed 2 boxes, cost about $100, and took me maybe 2 hours to finish the room (not counting trim). Super easy to install, and you can cut/trim it with a utility knife.

Looks like 20-40 mil is recommended for pets, though any accidents I'd clean up right away so I'm not sure how big of a deal it is. I mean on the HD site this has 4.5 stars out of 865 reviews so that's pretty good. What about the surface overlay? That matters as well correct? It says this one has a ceramic bead coating. Unfortunately I don't see any oak that is 5 mm+ that has a similar color to what I want on that lumber liquidators site. actionjackson fucked around with this message at 01:23 on Mar 6, 2020 |
