Baronjutter posted:Counter-top heights are an actual building code issue in some places. An architect teacher of mine was telling me about a situation where a dwarf wanted a custom kitchen made with like 2' counters so he could use them. It was his house that he fully owned, but the city wouldn't issue the permit, saying that the counters were too low and this was outside the range for accessibility. They actually used accessibility codes to gently caress with a little-person trying to build an accessible kitchen. The city wouldn't budge. I don't know how permits work where you are, but it sounds to me like the solution is to remodel two rooms at once: the kitchen, and some other room. Have a permit for the latter as a cover for the construction noise of the former. It won't be a problem until he sells.

Collateral Damage posted:... Apart from the dumb threshold which I would trip over all the time, I like the contrast between the rooms. I can't tell if y'all are joking. I go through 2+ liters of liquor a week. I'm drunk all the drat time yet I can't imagine tripping over a tiny threshold like that, especially given how the colors contrast. The bigger issue is that it looks dumb. It's not a big enough elevation difference to really separate the spaces, at least not more than the color difference. It's juuust big enough to murder the elderly, and that's all it's good for. Honestly it feels like the architect wanted steps, and the builders just wanted a flat floor, and they ended up at a compromise where everybody loses. Or slab issues, as others said. I still kinda like the decor though. Haifisch posted:Question: Does anyone actually put chairs in their bathrooms, or is that some weird staged-for-pictures-only thing? I agree, it's weird. But there's so much weird poo poo going on in those pictures I keep getting distracted. Why is there a moss wall? Why does that one bathroom have a sputnick chandelier? They feel like some alien was given the pieces and made them into rooms not knowing what the room was for. It honestly feels pretty cargo culty. Edit: wait, is that a loving fireplace?!

Baronjutter posted:Not that I'll ever own a bathroom or kitchen I could ever remodel, but what are the best current materials for just being pleasing to maintain, ie not scratching to gently caress to staining and being easy to clean? This, but also being heat resistant like granite. I like being able to take pans out of the oven and literally set them straight on the counter. vvv I like this post. It is good.

Anne Whateley posted:One interesting thing about this thread is the US/UK divide. One trend that's apparently huge in the U.K. is serving food not on plates, but just on flat slabs, including slates. I'm aware a couple restaurants do it over here, but I haven't actually seen it, but apparently it's maddeningly ubiquitous there. This is one of a number of threads where I'd love to be able to look up where posters live. I feel like internet forums are underutilized in tracking trends and cultural movements. First fashion designer to combine interior decorating and internet memeology could make bank.

Facebook Aunt posted:I kind of like the utility of this. Assuming your house doesn't have 5 other bathrooms, having an extra pooper in with the laundry machines seems like a good use of limited space. Less danger of a load being forgotten in the washer for 3 days. My town house has literally nowhere else to put the washer and dryer besides the basement bathroom. Besides, like, a bedroom. Or the deck. Best part is when the dryer alarm goes off while you're pooping.

Youth Decay posted:My current design pet peeve is ~minimalist~ kitchens. Like this one. How can you cook here? Where do you put food? And dishes? And cookware besides your stupid teapot collection? Maybe this makes me a bad person, but I really like the look. It's too bad it's not useful. I have to assume the designer just wasn't prone to cooking.

Edit: There's lots of folks for whom that kitchen would be fine. But it doesn't take a weirdo gadget packrat to end up with a bunch of poo poo exposed on those open shelves.

Youth Decay posted:See, I like weird "ugly" design that shows the personality of it's inhabitants. Bare gray concrete (especially in the context of ~modern~ pseudo-industrial) tends to look austere and harsh. Ok in a kitchen, but for living it needs rugs on top. So, uh, do you think looking austere and harsh doesn't tell you anything about the occupant?

cubicle gangster posted:Ha, I was wondering if anyone would call it out for looking like a west elm window display. It was not intentional, it's just where we ended up after deciding on dark walls, being stuck with walnut and trying to find pieces that worked within it. The credenza we end up with will probably just be all wood, no brass details. I'm not all that "up" on such things but I feel like brass is one of those things that goes into and out of style every few years. Comedy option: buy duplicate fittings for all cabinets, with one set brass and the other nickel or whatever. Rotate as necessary.

EAT FASTER!!!!!! posted:I love the comment that's like "oh honey bless yore heart you must ain't be from the South" I don't think the person meant that Southerners have good taste, it's that the "need" for a living room is more entrenched there. Think about where the huge-house-having aristocracy was for most of America's history. Edit: when I was buying my house my dad came along to give advice, etc he kept saying "but there aren't enough rooms to have a living room." He didn't believe when I told him those are for old people until the real estate agent backed him up. Blue Footed Booby fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Jul 19, 2018 |

Zamboni_Rodeo posted:The Brady Bunch house is for sale. Technically, it's the one they used for the exterior title shot. Fun fact which you probably knew: that iconic front window is not on the actual house -- it was a fake added on for the shot (and if you look closely enough at a Brady Bunch title still, you can even see the wires they used to hang the window.). It's dated but not all that bad. And then I got to this:  I actually went "yargh" at my screen. Then I saw the booblightfan. Why are there so many old houses with a god-awful pink bedroom?

Too bad if you don't have a spare room you can dedicate to computing, I guess. If you're decorating for anyone but yourself anywhere in your home, you're doing it wrong. gently caress other people.

I like the outside, but the interior is a case study in why they stopped making brutalist buildings. Turns out buildings in styles that explicitly minimize windows kinda suck to live in. Who knew?
