Have you ever painted your backsplash?
Comments (18)Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I know the outlets and switchplates are terrible. I will work on that ASAP. I guess the color will be obvious when i prop them up there???? Any suggestions? The grout is actually gray. I asked the tile expert at the decorating center what she recommended to blend rather than stand out and she thought this color. When I stand back and look, however, the lines are really prominent. So darkening the grout is a real possibility. Thanks for the comments, Beverly. Are you saying that the beige and/or truffle would make good switch /outlet colors or paint color for the walls? As far as the accessories, I use that corner to put out a couple of seasonal things. Normally I have a (black with white mat) frame that contains a recipe written in my grandmother's hand. The lamp is an old one I painted and could probably be replaced, I agree. I do like having some soft light in that corner. I would appreciate any help. I just purchased the soap/lotion caddy from PB so that is staying.... Peony, it is encouraging to hear that painting tile can be done successfully. While I think I have gotten enough positive comments about the BS that I have put the paint idea on hold, I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I do think that part of the problem I have with the BS is that it has more pattern than I was expecting, especially with the pattern in the counter. I have been wishing for a solid color back there! Thanks again, all. I promise to have new outlets etc. by the weekend!!!!!!! And will begin to research darker grout colors. jr...See MoreWhat did you have your attorney review?
Comments (5)Yes, absolutely. Agents cannot draft provisions, though they do it all the time. Only attorneys are qualified to do so. Agents can fill out forms. Absolutely, have your real estate attorney (I hope, not just an attorney) review the documents and craft the language which should be in your offer to protect YOU. Agent forms protect only the Agents, and, to a degree, the Sellers. Case in point: the Realtor-board form here states that closing will happen "on or before ______ (date), or when lender approval is granted, WHICHEVER IS LATER." (emphasis mine). No way. That means the closing is basically pending indefinitely, or until lender decides it is done. Nope. That part needs to be eliminated or there is no actual deadline. Buyer could simply withhold documents to prevent approval for any reason of his own....See MoreYou'll Have No Problem W/Visitors Finding Your Abode
Comments (23)I would much rather have a house like this, which actually has been painted and appears to have a well-maintained yard next to me that something with peeling paint, an overgrown or bald yard, a yard full of toys and old playsets left out in all sorts of weather, a hoarder house, or a house full of loud disrepectful people next to me. I would probably rather have this next to me than a giant new build that loomed over the neighborhood. I don't care for the color of my neighbors' house at all (and it touches mine), but they keep it well maintained, so I don't feel like it's up to me to dictate their esthetic sensibilities....See MoreHave you ever lost your mind for this many steps?
Comments (8)Sadly yes. Just recently. I needed to purchase airline tickets. As I was searching for the best combo of flight and price, for some reason the site kept auto filling my dates and changing them. I kept correcting the dates and finally found the best combo and tried to purchase. My preferred 7am return flight was gone, so I booked a later flight. Confirmed, picked seats, paid, confirmed the times and days again, looked at confirmation emails, blah, blah, blah. They day of the flight my husband called and said "Do you know our flight arrives Friday at 2 and we leave 45 minutes later?". What? I don't know what happened but there must of been one last auto fill that I didn't catch. I have no idea why I was even allowed to book such a combo. Thankfully DH travels often and the airline rep was sympathetic so we were able to book a more reasonable return flight without too much financial hardship. I will say I felt terrible about my stupid mistake. Pal, did you figure out how to get your package to the right place?...See MoreOklaMoni
