I just had a cabinet builtin added to my living room, and I love it (underfull though it is). I wanted lights that could do a couple of colour temperatures, so we ended up with 4 strips of RGB LEDs. My contractor left them on a slow random transition one day, and I loved it so much that it's been that way ever since. Every time I walk into the room it's a different set of colours, like some mutable piece of art. I hope it's not tacky, because I'm sticking to it.

tetrapyloctomy posted:I know, right? What's funny is that while I understood why they went and did a quick Home Depot kitchen in there, I couldn't get past the atrociously ugly floor and how the cabinets don't go all the way to the ceiling. They just hang six inches from the ceiling. Just cover that up with some trim, guys! Hmm. My cabinets end about a foot from the ceiling. I don't know how people would really use the space above it, but am I even less fashionable than I thought?

TheMadMilkman posted:Well, yes, but not because of the cabinets. Ah, yeah. Those aren't nice. I have a builtin cabinet with about 4" between it and the ceiling, but trimming it out isn't really an option (no upper trim in my place), and I didn't want the top board sitting against the ceiling. I think it looks fine, but...

Here's a good reason not to do that hidden fridge thing. When your just-so handle inevitably breaks under the repeated strain of a really heavy door assembly, it's quite the loving production to get it fixed.

It's for visual uniformity more that MGS-grade stealth, but it's still annoying because it's a bitch to open even before the handle sheared. It wasn't enough to keep me from buying the place, though.

SoundMonkey posted:i guess if you have like a Kitchen Theme or something. do they just jankily attach to the fridge handle (and probably apply weird stresses to it) or do you have to buy a fridge intended for use with one of these? You buy a fridge with no handle and an unfinished front. It has mounting brackets for the cabinet front to connect with. I don't think it looks janky, it's just a bitch to open. The handle matches the rest of the cabinets.

I've been looking for a light fixture for my bedroom for months. I bought one that turned out to be way too (comically) large and had it installed and then removed, so there's a bare bulb up there right now. I don't want something with exposed bulbs, and I'd like to avoid the foot-tall wide disc that someone recommended, but man I'm getting impatient enough that I might surrender to the latter. (I still have the oversized one, if anyone in Toronto wants an 18" wide, 24" tall square lantern looking thing. Free for the taking, I couldn't return it.)

Yeah, there's about 2 feet between the houses, and the roofs would be about 6" apart if they weren't offset in height. Same guy owned my place and the houses on both sides when he tore down two and built a mirror image pair, so at least he wouldn't get fought on a variance request.

There's room between the two twinned ones to do work. Probably we'd have to demo from the inside, yeah. I'm not too worried about it, it's 7 years old and well-built.
