Baronjutter posted:Brutalist Interiors The first and last are extremely my jam. I probably wouldn't love it as something I have to live in every day, but as like a hotel or a spot for a weekend I'm all over it. Its too bad that more people don't appreciate brutalism; they torn down an old theater here in Baltimore that I loved and are replacing it with more boring apartment towers.

I really don't get hiding your microwave with a door with a shittier looking microwave drawn on it. e: also have fun pouring soup on your head using that stupidly high microwave

It's crazy how quickly using a bad bathroom will make you realize how much you take the basic ability to poo poo in comfort for granted. I stayed in an Airbnb where the room was detached from the house. The bathroom was in what used to be a small closet just outside, and it was very clearly not big enough to fit the toilet. If you were going to sit down you had to back in. The shower was outside, just... exposed. It was cheap though! e: found a photo. I'm honestly impressed that they managed it at all considering what they had to work with:

Collateral Damage posted:"What do you want in your house?" "One of everything. We want statues, and an arch, and a pool, and a sauna, and a wine cellar, and a fireplace, and a walk in closet, and and and...

Youth Decay posted:My biggest kitchen pet peeve other than no cabinet space is having the stove all alone on a wall with zero counter space nearby. Like if I'm making a stir fry or something and I have to throw stuff in the pan/pot real quick I need it right there with me, not on the other side of the room. As someone who curses his kitchen every day for not having a decent hood, gently caress everything about this.

Bad Munki posted:I think it came up in this thread before: I put down some new hardwood flooring in my office, and I need to get a chair, but I reeeaaally don’t any to put down a plastic mat. I think it was mentioned that there are chairs/wheels that are a bit softer and this not as hard on a wood floor. How do I find such a thing, what am I looking for? Do I just buy a chair and replace the wheels, or do I need to find one that has them already, or what? Your best bet is probably going to be buying the chair you want and then replacing the wheels with rubber casters. You should be able to find plenty of options for them on Amazon.

I made multiple moves as a kid and went without various bits of furniture for a week or so without getting all hosed in the head. I remember it was actually kinda fun and one time we made a box fort out of the box from the washing machine or something  we also put up a tent in the living room and popped Jiffy Pop on a camp stove. Kids love stuff like that as long as you make it a little adventure for them.

I don't get why people are so desperate to dunk on Prada Slut. They've even said that their method/theory/lifestyle/whatever isn't for everyone and that's okay. Like, what's really wrong with not accepting a hand-me-down couch and waiting a week or two to suss out what you really want? That really is how we wind up having so much poo poo that we don't really want.

I think a lot of the time that people buy way more house than they need (and as a corollary more than they can reasonably afford) so there's suddenly a lot of pressure to make sure that they get the maximum value out of it. It's kinda like buying a really nice whiskey or wine or something and saying that you're going to save it for a special occasion, only you never drink it because no occasion ever feels "special" enough to justify the price that was spent so it just goes to waste.

Jaded Burnout posted:So many parts of that don't make sense, even ignoring the obvious. What's that access panel for? It's at the wrong end of the bath to be useful but isn't deep enough to be storage. What could possibly be on the floor below to warrant that being the wet wall? Downstairs neighbour's kitchen? And you're really really telling me that they decided the hallway from the front door was the right place for a bath? Even ignoring the stairs? I can at least tell you that the panel is probably to get access to the pump mechanism for the jets, but usually they're less... obtrusive. Everything else is a big

Brawnfire posted:In this example would the office or living room be front of the house? I believe the living room is the front, but imo if you flip the labels you accomplish the same thing and then I think the flow of the house is better too. I'd much rather have a larger studio/workspace than living room personally, however.

A few years ago I made a trip to Costa Rica and splurged on a night at one of the hot spring resorts. The room had a giant soaking tub that filled with water directly from the hot springs and I'll be damned if it wasn't the best soak of my life. It's the baseline for all tubs for me going forward and I can't wait to put one of my own in one day.

Youth Decay posted:The Zillow search term of the day is "passive solar" I love the idea of big wide open windows like this in theory but in practice... I rented a house for a long weekend with some friends in the mountains in Colorado last fall with a wall full of windows facing west. It was pretty nice to be able to look out over the mountains until 1pm or so when the sun began to punish anyone who was foolish enough to sit in the living room. Even with all of the shades down and any windows in the rest of the house open it was still pushing the upper 80s inside on a 60-degree day. I can’t imagine trying to live with that in the summer.

Sloth Life posted:I will never really understand houses where you walk through bedroom 1 to get to bedroom 2. Like hi kids, you have sod all privacy mam and dad are just gonna waaaander through to the main bedroom! Well you typically had a lot of people sharing one house and the concept of personal privacy for must people didn’t really exist until relatively recently, so this was just the way it was. Also IIRC these were designed to maximize comfort with the kitchen at the back and the sleeping quarters close to that - keeps you warm in the winter, then you open things up in the summer to expel the heat from cooking.

Josh Lyman posted:3 (100% polyester, solvent/water cleanable, 20k rub count): I think this is a really interesting idea, especially in the small quantity on the swatch, but it seems like a lot in the full render. This is a TV tuned to static in couch form. All of the grays look fine for the most part, but don’t be afraid of looking at something in the blue-gray or gray-green range. They look a lot more neutral in practice than you might expect.

In particular, you can better see the hints of blue in 13, but hopefully you can also see what I mean by the hue being not quite right. From which site did you get these swatches?

I’ve been idly browsing house listings in my area the last couple of weeks, and one trend I’ve noticed is a stovetop facing the bar of an open-plan living space, like this:  My question is: why? It seems like a nightmare with no hood or even recirculator to speak of, and I don’t think it would be any easier to hold a conversation with someone while cooking. Is this just a flipper thing for the ~ a e s t h e t i c ~ or are people actually using their stovetops this way?

D-LINK posted:It doesn't look like this particular one has it, but they make down draft exhaust fan hidden in the surrounding cabinetry that automatically raises a vent from flush at countertop height and then it retracts when you turn the stove off. OK, that’s pretty rad and I’ll keep an eye out for things like that as I browse. It’s been weird to me seeing all of these houses that completely lack some sort of air circulation around the stove though; when I lived on the East coast every place I lived at the very least had the crappy one built into the bottom of a microwave above it. When I started apartment hunting in Denver I was shocked by how many lacked something I’d consider so important to a kitchen.
