If you were getting a lake house, which one would it be??
Comments (23)Other than the landfill being a possible issue, it sounds like option #2 is the best. #1 is based on "what ifs" like, "what if we suddenly change our likes and want more noise and action?" "What if people suddenly start to visit us?" People quote Magnaverde as saying something about decorating for the life you have NOW. I think this applies. I remember going to my friend's cabin on a lake when I was young. It was very simple, small lake, one canoe, one small motorboat . . .nothing fancy. I LOVED it, loved the peace and quiet, listening to the loons, the feeling that a little place in the world was just yours and yours alone. I don't think you need to attract kids with noise and flash-- there's enough of that in everyday life. And besides, it's too hard to count on anyone visiting ever-- it's better just to live for your life as it is. #3 is just too risky. What if you sink money into the place, and all of a sudden the owner dies and leaves it to someone else? My mom's neighbor . . .I can't tell you how many times she's changed her will regarding who she is leaving her house to (no children or family left). The latest is that she wants her personal assistant and his family to move in, and she'll will the house to him. Why? Because then he'll take care of her cats when she dies. It's the only reason-- her cats....See MoreWhich appliances would you get in a new home?
Comments (8)It's immediate w/ responsive cookware, anyway. Cast iron doesn't cool down quickly w/ any heat source! I had induction in my kitchen and will always pick it over the other options unless I can install a gas hob for the rare times it would be convenient. The lows and highs are comparable, lows often superior, to gas adjustments. FAR less ambient heat around the cooking area. Easier cleaning. Cleaner air w/o combustion by-products from the appliance. Canning and woking have limits, which is why I want to try woking over the grill...after trying a pizza oven on the grill ;) See if you can play w/ one to help make your decision. I like Bosch for d/ws and will be putting at least one in my remodeled kitchen. I don't mind waiting for plastics to dry. Refrigerators seem to have disappointments across the board. I think it's luck of the draw....See MoreWhich of these Sofa styles would work with this chair?
Comments (8)I particularly dislike Gaines since it echos the look of the chair. The table is curly, the recliner is all curly puff. I would prefer a sofa that introduces some straight lines into the room. I would probably go with Perry to negate the overstuffed look of the recliner....See MoreI am confused about which coffee table would suit my sofa/chairs
Comments (11)Thank oly chick for ur input.. I was thinking square or like rounded square or maybe an irregular shape because the sofa and chairs have rounded lines not completely round if that makes sense.. I will look again at suitable cylinder type tables.. but I feel like they wouldn't work for some reason. I agree the framework seems leggy.....See Morelove-my-lilhome
