While B. Eat Mr J's bathroom is the worst bathroom I have ever seen, I have had the personal good fortune to make use of the best bathroom, the one servicing the restaurant at the top of the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong.



If you find yourself in Hong Kong I recommend getting dinner there, the food is pretty good and after drinks you get to look across Kowloon with 'a yellow eye.'

I wonder how much of that is because millennials realized they don't want or need that much space, and how much of that is because millennials can't afford giant houses(or any houses, if they live on the west coast).

Bought a house. Looking for some paint suggestions. The reason I liked the place is because it has a rustic/country/up north feel to it and I would like to maintain that vibe. My whole life I've just used neutral grays because I am uncreative and suck at this kind of thing.

The floors are knotted pine and will be refinished to bring out a bit more of the white tones in the wood. As you can see the window and base trim is stained wood. I don't think my typical palette of neutral grays will work here. Any suggestions appreciated. FYI this is not my furniture so just consider it a blank slate.

You do not suck, you're just inexperienced! Luckily there's a whole industry of preselected pallets out there to give you a boost. If you like grays and and want to keep a more rustic/cabin vibe, I'd recommend looking at colonial colors. That would fit with the pine board floors, and it tends to favor more muted, grayed-out tones.

I suffer from a terrible condition where I think that every home should have bright white walls with wood floors, without exception. If you want to give it more of a rustic feel, though, maybe a warm beige would be more appropriate? Even if it is the most boring option.

Well, I still have ideas in my head for my metal furniture. This is another coffee table. Excuse my quick and dirty drawings


Roughly 19" high, made of three different stocks of aluminum. The legs and top would be 1/4", the lower shelf of 1/8" sheet, and the posts between the top and shelf would be 1/2" round bar.


The top would be 22"x36" in this..... this shape? I don't know what to call this shape. Bulged, oblate, rounded rectangle? I think I'm going to use a rough sandpaper and go to town on the top. I want to see about trying to make it almost seem as if there's wood grain in the metal top.

Looks like a superellipse, a shape also used in Danish mid-century furniture.

I'm in the same boat as the OP. I have white oak floors in the new home and no real design experience. If you look at my post history itt you can see some maple and white paint furniture I'm building and the floor color as well. I'm wanting to repaint the house interior over time and not really sure of pallette choices. Where would I find pre-selected ones? The first floor with the hardwood floors is partially open but each room has a different color. Ranging from a very light pink, to cream, to a medium blue-grey.

Any of the big paint brands have them and you can usually go to their website either pull up a standard like cottage or modern, or pick an individual color and get some complementary shades for it. Paint stores/suppliers will also often have little pamphlets with recommended pallets in them; when I was picking for my house I flipped through a few at Lows to get some ideas.

I'll throw in that color theory is absolutely something that you can just learn. It's not all a matter of gut instinct and personal taste; there are rules, you can study them and make more confident choices.

These are pro, if you can't swing a garage toilet instead.

The best combo is a back door that goes mudroom/laundry -> bathroom so you can ditch your filthy working outdoors clothes straight into the wash and shower rather than track filth through the house.

In a similar vein the toilet at the restaurant at Plateau Rosa in Cervinia/Zermatt has a window looking out to the Matterhorn and over the glacier down into Italy. Recommend going for a piss even if you don't absolutely need one.

$1000 those chairs are meant for bible study as well as TV because there’s no way that the mind behind that decor isn’t super Christian. This house looks like Mormon Pinterest had a grand mal seizure all over it.

Lol no, you want couches and close proximity and a sense of intimacy and security. Having everybody sit in individual chairs in a ring like they’re the members of SEELE in an open concept kitchen space is the opposite of LS-friendly design.
