bee posted:Our ensuite is a wet room and it's a pain in the arse. It wouldn't be as bad if the tiling sloped towards the drain instead of away from it It should be against the law (code) for a floor to slope away from a floor drain. Time to  everyone.

amethystbliss posted:Countertop clutter drives me mad and I nerd out a lot about how to reduce visual clutter. I have so much cabinet and cupboard space in the kitchen that I'm able to keep just the fire extinguisher (in the shape of a duck, I forget the designer) and the electric kettle (which I use every day) on the counters. The coffee machine and toaster are on an an open shelf between cabinets on the opposite wall, above the microwave oven, because I don't have anything else to put there. I think it's where the refrigerator used to be, and that's why there's an electric outlet, and no door. kreeningsons posted:These are perfect!!!

Southern Heel posted:My downstairs toilet/bathroom is a cubby hole under the stairs - it's got the original red and black chequer pattern quarry tiles on the floor that my wife would like to retain. What would compliment them in terms of metals, wall colourings/wallpaper/etc. ? Paint the walls red. Ceiling too. Red bog, red sink, if available, otherwise avocado, yellow, or white (in that order of preference). Gold fittings. (Well, brass, anyway.) Trust me.

Paul MaudDib posted:anyone have recommendations for those pullout cabinet organizers? I have the usual 90s cabinetry, drawers are about 9.75" (let's say 9.5" usable) and cabinet doors are just under a foot (11.75" max, 11.5" usable?). I have been reading the various house/interior/cabinet -related threads on the Something Awful forums and I can say with certainly the only sane option for what I'm looking at there is to install a toilet seat in it. e: Oh gently caress this was the actual Q&A thread.

kreeningsons posted:I keep my dress shoes in a box with cedar shoe trees and I figure that absorbs enough moisture to not cause a problem. Agreed that there are obvious limits to keeping shoes in a closed container, though. I was assuming the shoes one keeps by the door are shoes worn at least semi-regularly. If that's not a concern, the sky (ur wallet) is the limit.

kreeningsons posted:Does anyone have experience with importing furniture/lamps to the US? I really want the biggest and baddest Martinelli Luce Pipistrello lamp. The price at the euro retailer below is $1600+$400 shipping which doesn’t seem bad, but considering this sells at US retailers for $4000, I’m wondering if I’m missing some part of the price equation. I don’t know what import duties will be like. And I don’t know what kind of step up transformer I’ll need. If US customs doesn't have a calculator on their website where you punch in a) what you're importing (chosen from a list) b) where from c) at what cost and it just gives you a number, then I'm not surprised but slightly disappointed.

kreeningsons posted:Not that I can find. Maybe I’m not searching for the right thing, but the federal code for determining duties seems extremely complicated. I guess I will just try to message the retailer and see if they have an estimate of what to expect. I tried to find it the other day, just out of curiosity, and I think there isn't one. Because why use computre for computing that would be silly. Meanwhile whenever I import something I get an e-mail with a link to both the customs and tax calculator (where I can also pay directly) and the mail thingy that I have to also pay. e: Obviously I can use the calculator beforehand, too, to see if it's worth it to import something.

BigFactory posted:The ikea fake wood looking stuff was always pretty gross. Did they discontinue it on every product or just those shelves? It looks like wood. (And, technically, is wood, as it's veneer.) I just got a bad feeling that they've discontinued the oak veneer Billy, too, but luckily not. I'm still missing half the shelves for my study. e: Maybe the Kallax isn't veneer. Who knows. It still looks like wood.

KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:Jesus, why don't more people just buy used? It's the best choice for the environment and you get much better stuff at a lower price. Here one used to, then the WWW was invented and now second-hand sellers are always looking up prices on-line. For the past decade or halfteen a big bookshelf from Ikea has been like ½ the price of a lovely crapboard smaller one with some kids' stickers all over it from the recycling centre. And buying straight from a private person is always an absolute poo poo-show for other reasons. Now inheriting furniture from dead relatives? That's the ticket!
