We have paneling in our prefab shower (wet room). It's Toto's latest model and it's The Best. The floor looks like tile but is actually subtly soft and doesn't feel cold.

We have ceiling wallpaper with a gentle texture pattern that I chose because it reminded me of tin ceilings. I should have put it in more rooms, it's subtle and doesn't clash with other textures like I expected.

My bff got an acrylic sink & countertop like that and the sink is already stained af after five years. Our stainless sink & countertop still looks good after twenty years with spot scrubs with a kitchen eraser and periodic steam cleaning. Edit: VVV We have something just called a "kitchen panel" that's also used for walls in nice public restrooms. It's affordable, fireproof, has lots of color choices and completely smooth for easy wiping and suckers and 3M adhesive hooks. I'll add vinyl stickers when I get bored of white. Definitely not this gorgeous metallic paneling http://fasadeideas.com/backsplash/ peanut fucked around with this message at 07:13 on Jun 8, 2017 |

How about a better kitchen fan to keep the cooking smells out of the living room? Our wide doorway from the hall into our living/dining/kitchen area is a 3-panel slider. It gives us a wide entryway without the fuss of a pocket door or the gaping breezes of an outset/barn door.

Push the couch against the wall under the windows and put the tv over the fireplace or on the wall of the staircase. It's a 2017 reality that we need to plan for tv in a living room. As I post this I'm regretting not putting an outlet in a corner of our living room that looks ideal for a Christmas tree.

We (use a recorder) and argue (slightly) over tv channel priority like it's 1999. The kids are always confused that a live game gets preference over Doc McStuffins reruns.

I'm using my counterless kitchen wall of stuff to dam the flow of neurotic poo poo posts. That window is just 5cm too high for cheap standard wall cabinets and then my mother-in-law gave us the bigger dish cabinet so we had to put the fridge on the other side  I should have put in more outlets!!!

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:Your fridge confuses me Is it the baby lock on the ice drawer?  Stop it, baby!!!!(Top half fridge, middle left is for ice cubes, middle right is a fast-freezing drawer. Upper bottom (lol) is a tallish fridge drawer for drinks and lower bottom is the main freezer.) It's a very normal fridge for Japan. If you open your freezer more than your fridge, you're lifeing badly. peanut fucked around with this message at 06:27 on Jul 13, 2017 |

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:Does the fast-freezing work well? In reality, I just keep my grab-it-fast little stuff like ice packs and corn and pre-cut green onions in there, but there's an aluminum tray inside that freezes stuff fast and flat. The China cabinet is 80s af in a good way and I can't put baby locks on it so for now, those drawers are just stuff that baby can't shatter like bento boxes, plastic cups and dessert spoons. Tried to angle this to hide all the dishes and mail... the other half of our galley-ish kitchen. We reused this "system kitchen" from the old house because it got new pull-out drawer hardware about 10 years ago. I built a janky lil table over the trashcans (with 3 sets of old baby locks) to expand the counter space for the dishrack. Our dishwasher is bad and not good and I don't use it. Edit: In summary, our kitchen is lacking in counter space but has an excellent work triangle. peanut fucked around with this message at 06:55 on Jul 13, 2017 |

My grandparents had exotic modern plastic laminate things from the 60s and 70s, not boring old wood. My parents bought the wooden 40s and 50s furniture after the owners died in the 80s. These things uhhh skip a generation?

It's not a trend, it's modernity! The regular swing-open cabinets are better for kitchen hoarders like my mother-in-law with 2nd and 3rd row stacks of pots under the sink. Huge drawers are great in bathroom sink vanities, too. Edit: I was thinking of massive drawers, not slide-out racks. My mother-in-law has some pull-down racks for her upper cabinets that are clunky af but better than standing on a chair. peanut fucked around with this message at 00:52 on Jul 18, 2017 |

The washer in the kitchen surprised me but makes perfect sense for plumbing and hot water. My friend's houses also had those on-demand water heaters on the wall in the shower like I'd only seen in SE Asia. Is that standard in England or just older buildings?

Growing up, our utility room was usually between the kitchen and the garage. Here, the washer is always next to the bathroom sink, which usually connects to the bath. The toilet is it another little room. Content: Different kitchen shapes. https://www.sooken.com/blog/kitchen-reform2/ Rough Translation: "Open" "Front-Facing"Kitchen faces the dining/living area. "Closed" "Wall-Facing" Kitchen faces a wall, or is a separate room. Island Kitchen (Flat Wide Island) + easy to communicate + wide counter + looks fancy - requires huge space - kitchen smells and oil spread easily - mess completely exposed Peninsula Kitchen (Touching a Wall) + better control of smells and oil + more fan choices + wide counter + looks fancy - no running around it in circles - mess completely exposed I Shape Kitchen (Semi-Open) (Peninsula with a wall counter) + hides the mess + better outlet placement + affordable and practical - not an island!! oh no L-Shape Kitchen + huge counter space + easy more than one person to use - requires wide space, possibly shrinking dining area and/or losing back door - hard to use corner space efficiently II-Shape Kitchen (Galley/Separate Kitchen) + wide counter + clear division of sink and stove counters + hybrid of closed/open benefits - wide and/or wonky work triangle - not helpful if it means lots of tiny counters instead of one large counter In summary, the I-Shape kitchen is most common in new kitchens here because you can still look into the dining/living area, but hide your stacks of dirty dishes.

Everyone hand-washes dishes and has a drying rack on the counter here. I can hide my spices in a drawer but the soap and sponge need to be in/around the sink.
