15 years ago

It bugs me, don't know why, that Matt always wears brown shoes, even with black gray and navy. Anyone else have felings about this?

No....could care less what color his shoes are!
I wear the same shoes with most everything because they are the most comfortable shoes out of the 3 pair I own.LOL

I didn't notice. Maybe it's just a quirk of his.

Our GC had a wonderful exercise for us. His assignment even before we met was to have DH & me write out our top 20 items/ideas for the house (in order of importance). We did this seperarately w/o knowing each other's top 20. We then brought this list to GC on our first meeting. This enabled him to get the big picture. We also took these lists to the architect. Along with this list, was a photo of what we desired & a layout we thought we liked. As the process has developed, all of our smaller, nitpicky items have come out. GC has appreciated the thought process that I've put into it all. He said it has made everything move smoothly. In the end, I will have less daily choices to make. Although I did SO much research prior to all of our meetings, I have welcomed GC's ideas & knowledge, as well. Afterall, we are hiring him for his skills, knowledge, & expertise. He has been doing this 30+ years & I have only just recently begun this process. I definitely would not go into this seeming like a total know-it-all or you will make GC's life quite unpleasant. Also, in all honesty, about 90% of our desires for our home, GC had already planned for, so I would really be looking for the best GC you can find.

Sorry, I don't know off hand what the grout is. It is my daughters bathroom and I can see if the contractor left some grout at their house when I go there tomorrow to watch my granddaughter and let you know. I do know that the shower valve and tub spout are not off center in the tile so it is just the angle of the picture. The contractor who was also the tile man was an absolute perfectionist and wouldn't allow anything to be "off". He has since done my son's bathroom and I will be using him in the future for my hall bath remodel. I wish everyone could have a contractor like him.

Tung oil SMELLS to HIGH HEAVEN. Eye-wateringly stinky. Move out for a few weeks type of smell. Migraine in a can. You get the idea. As jfcwood points out, the hardwax finishes are going to offer more for less (more of the same benefits with less smell). Woca or Rubio will offer much of the same benefits as tung oil. Loba 2K Supra AT has some of the highest wear resistance for water base polyurethane (the $75 gallon of DuraSeal isn't going to give you the same wear as a $180 gallon of Loba - it just won't). Yes it is pricey...but you get what you pay for. The ceramic infused finish is almost as durable as a factory Aluminum Oxide finish. With the added benefit that you can add a "buff and coat" at anytime. Cure rate for the Loba = 5 days. Smell is gone in 4 HOURS. So long as you accept the DIY homeowner repair/maintenance schedule of the hardwax oils...then go for it. With heavy use/abuse households, the benefit is "spot fixes" and "when we have time" maintenance. No need to bring in a professional (although it would be faster). Either way, I think you will be pleased with the results...but neither of them are as cheap as the low end finishes of the past.

I've never noticed it either, but most likely I would if he were an in person, day to day contact. And I have to admit it would bug me, I'm old school about such things.

I was once told that one of the worst shoe fashion faux pas that a woman can do is to wear black shoes with navy blue....and so I've never been able to do it.

I agree with Barbara, belt should match.

Good heavens, no offense, but there are more important things going on in the world to bug me other than the color on a persons shoes or what they match. Dotte

I think it is maybe not uncommon to take notice of someone seen daily/frequently (sort of like) in our homes.

In doing a search it appears others have commented on Matt's garb before.

The best one, though old, is linked below where it discusses a new hair 'do' he was sporting and that Katie had a Flying-Nun flip hairdo, that another poster thought made her look like Barbie.

Here is a link that might be useful: What's up with Matt Lauer's Hair?

I thought I was the only that noticed it. Yes, there are more important things to worry about, but that has been standing out for me, for a few years. I normally don't much care about what someone wears, but for some reason the brown shoes has realy stood out.

Interesting that someone else felt that way - especially since it really isn't that important.

I never noticed until you said something. I watched yesterday and sure enough, there they were.

I have to say, they look like very expensive brown shoes. Maybe it's just his "thing". No biggie.
