Need help with storage ideas (long w/ diagram)
Comments (9)Warmfridge, From the way you describe, I gather that you are not in a wheelchair but limited in your motion and weight limits for lifting from below waist? Your kitchen is almost identical to mine -- or the one I will have when I am finished -- except stove and sink are reversed, but I have not had the same considerations in my planning. Pots and pans confounded me more than almost anything else. I found the divided drawers and the drawer-front pull-out shelves, which were way better than the fixed bottom shelf of the base we have them in now. But you know when you just have a feeling that there is something different that would be better for you personally? I had that feeling, until I finally found the pullout base with the pegboards on which you place hooks for the pots and pans to hang on. Rev-a-shelf makes them, not sure who else. They may have even been posted here recently. My all-time favorite, which I am disappointed not to be able to use, is akin to a pot rack which hangs from the ceiling, but this is mounted inside a tall pantry pullout as the top tier of storage. That was what I had been looking for. I'm also picturing, if you can do any tall pullouts, being able to put the kinds of things you are describing on those shelves in a 15-18" wide cabinet. If that's out of the question, Starcraft has an article about using deeper cabinets. They recommend 16" up top, but on the bottom you'd need 30" deep, and the uppers would be closer to the counters. See the link below. Here is a link that might be useful: Starcraft article...See MoreHow Long Is Too Long Before I Start Lowering The Price?
Comments (24)What a beautiful place you have. I have a couple of suggestions. One; don't say small bedrooms, just say bedrooms. You have the sizes listed, people can judge for themselves. Really, only one of them seems small to me. Two; your pictures are in no order. You should regroup them. Start with the front of the house and the porch. Then show the inside rooms. Put all of the bedroom pictures together and all of the kitchen together. I didn't see a picture of the bathroom, can you put a picture of it? You don't need all the pictures you have. Next do the putside areas. Cut some of them, like the pictures of the dogs. Put all the barn and horse pictures together. Put all of the backyard/deck pictures togeather. Some of your pictures are too dark and many of them look cluttered. For example clear all the small stuff off your kitchen countertops before the picture is taken. You could get an estimate for converting the smallest bedroom into a bathroom. Even if you don't plan on doing it you could have it to show a buyer. I think a lot of people would perfer a 3 bedroom 2 bath house to a 4 bedroom 1 bath house. Good luck, I hope you get another buyer soon!...See Moreneed some ideas for a dress hem that is too long
Comments (8)Rene, could you cut off the embroidered part, then cut off the plain denim to shorten it enough, then open the side seam(s) of the embroidered part and take it in to make it fit the new bottom of the dress? Then you could sew it back on and sew a strip of lace over the seam or something if you wanted to hide it. Or maybe you could gather the embroidered part slightly to make it fit and make it into a flounce at the bottom. I have the same problem - 5'2" - and even petite stuff is too long a lot of the time. Of course, you could wear REALLY high heels! LOL Donna...See MoreLong, high shelf in bathroom - need ideas
Comments (3)-Perhaps a collection of seashells for the warmer months? Perhaps choose the shells in whites and creams? And switch the accessories in the room to whites and creams with some dark-colored woven items (like a nice tray?) -In the winter months -- switch to a row of pine cones and switch the accessories to work with them? Just some thoughts!...See Moreashleysf
