Oodles posted:I just don’t like showering in an over bath, I feel like I’m always cold. I usually think it's stupid to have double sinks, but with 4 people in one bathroom it makes sense. Lots of counterspace and drawer storage underneath, too. You can try to get them to do makeup at vanities in their own rooms, but that doesn't work so well for hair. How old are they now? I agree in this situation it might make more sense to have the toilet/sink separated, like they are in some hotel rooms, and ideally even accessible from the hallway, so that if one or two people are locked in the main bathroom forever, you don't end up with everyone else hammering on the door begging to pee.

I would definitely prioritize efficiency above all else if you're sharing among 4 people. I would carve out another bathroom, or at least a dressing area with sink. There's space for it.The ideal would be to get double vanities in both so each girl gets their own space, but if not at least put a double medicine cabinet space and decent counter space on each side. I live alone and don't even wear makeup and I still don't have enough room for #justgirlythings in my bathroom. The Zillow search term of the day is "makeup"      good god that's a lot of shoes  all makeup tables need candelabras  bonus: the worst vanity

I think the issue with the paint was that the paper sample wasn't big enough to really give me a good idea of what to expect. I should've painted a square first. I'll probably have it repainted by someone else, as I need to have the humidity damage fixed anyway. Something on this scale probably: https://www.sherwin-williams.com/homeowners/color/find-and-explore-colors/paint-colors-by-family/SW6240-windy-blue the 224 row, either windy blue or aleutian

actionjackson posted:I'm just trying to figure out why the paint looks less gray then the sample. It's one of those notecard size samples like they have at the store. If I put it on the wall it's clearly different than the paint. Cards are always at best an approximation of what a color is going to be, so that's why you get a proper paint sample to try first. Another issue that can crop up is if you do a paint+primer combo, the shade is often a little lighter than what would be just paint. Caveat emptor.

I just got ahead of myself, I should have gotten a few more samples first. I get carried away sometimes :P Speaking of getting carried away, my new laminate is being installed tomorrow! It will take a few days.

Jasper Tin Neck posted:Technically this isn't interior design, but I'd like to hear your ideas for furnishing a wide but shallow balcony. I have a similar space. I hang herb pots and growbags on the outside to maximise the light they get (it only gets evening sun) and to free up space on the inside, and I have a set of fairy lights around the railing to pretty it up. It's a work in progress, though, right now it's pretty bare because I've powerhosed the decking and am trying to decide whether or not to paint it and if so, which colour. I've just ordered this set: https://www.leenbakker.nl/outlet/loungeset-leon-wit-rood-4-delig to go on it as it's bright and weather proof. I suspect the full set might make the balcony a little bit crowded, though, but I have other options for where to put the couch. My balcony is a little more exposed than yours so I want to get some tall planters with tall plants (grasses, maybe) to put in the corners to at least give the illusion of privacy. For your balcony, first of all I would scrub those plant holders up, fill them with herb plants and rehang them on the outside. You could also start some pea plants and when they're quite healthy, put them in a long planter and train them up that grille at the back. How's your budget? You could either spruce up the furniture that you have with a lick of paint and add some cushions, or buy some new multifunctional space saving items like this: https://www.fermob.com/en/Products/Furniture/Tables/Rectangular-tables/balcony-table-57-x-77-cm-bistro. Similarly, you could get an outdoor mat: https://www.ikea.com/nl/en/p/morum-rug-flatwoven-in-outdoor-dark-grey-in-outdoor-10203573/ or some outdoor tiling: https://www.ikea.com/nl/en/search/products/?q=balcony%20floor

I'd love to do this, since it would save so much space, but hanging stuff outside the balcony railings is specifically banned by the co-op. We've filled up the railing planters and plan to get a few more.

Whatever replaces it also has to replicate it's other purpose as a storage bin, because the pots in the background went in there. Some dort of tiling or decking is also on the list once I figure out how to get around the fact that our balcony's depth isn't neatly divisible by 30 cm, which seems to be the standard size for tiles.

No, see, if you just got a second stool someone would put a plant on it. You need a chair that cannot under any circumstances support a potted plant.

The Zillow search term of the day is "painted lady". In addition to being slang for a prostitute, a Painted Lady is a Victorian home or rowhome painted in garish colors. Often these homes are equally colorful on the inside.      A yellow parlor inside a very purple house  This is the most tastefully furnished room in this house  My favorite

I have a cousin who's a (semi-retired) professional organist, she would one million percent have a pipe organ house if she could. She's pretty much enslaved to the music programs at her local churches for that sweet sweet pipe time. Like, can you imagine being an organist and NOT being a Christian? Or just not liking the churches around? Yowzers. Suspect Bucket fucked around with this message at 14:48 on Apr 14, 2020 |

I’m a professional singer and my church job’s organist is married to an organ installer/tuner/repairer and they have 4 entire goddamn organs in their house. It’s a good thing that they live out in the country because I would not be responsible for my inevitable actions if I was their neighbor.

There was a guy on my local craigslist giving a full pipe organ setup removed from a church away. I considered getting it. I have a small barn it could have been installed into but I'm only renting this house so I figured it wasn't a good idea. He'd just had it piled up in his garage for 20+ years.
