Comments (13)Here's an option with a 2nd bath but in an efficient plan: http://tightlinesdesigns.com/house/clarke/clarke-i After living in this (1140sqft)space for 12yrs we are adding on. It this your forever home or are you planning on moving after the kids are older? This home worked well for us before kids and even with 1 child, still fine. Forward a few years to two kids and kids wanting friends over, well it's a problem. Here's what's saved us for a spell: Having an upstairs bedroom-DH sometimes works nights and needs it quiet. It's great storage with the kneewall cabinets. 2nd bathroom (upstairs it's tub/not shower) but helps for when we all need to be somewhere at once. Vaulted ceiling in living/dining as it feels bigger. A large yard and covered front porch (sandboxes, balls and toy cars...) We put a large screen TV in my DD's room and daybed so it's often movie time when friends are over as they have so little play space. Transitional pieces of furniture: our coffee table is on industrial wheels and has a countertop insert. It serves as additional eating area, table, or seating with cushions added or we can roll it out of the way for more Thomas the Train floor space. Our laundry is in the kitchen covered by pantry doors-I hate this but there is no other space for it. The doors make it acceptable. Ideally if we had the Master on the main and 2 bedrooms upstairs the addition would not be as pressing an issue. We almost never have people over other than our kids friends. Our space is just too small to entertain well unless it's nice weather. When we do have adults over we pray for sunshine:) I should mention some of our issues are also due to having a boy and girl rather than children capable of sharing a room. Hope this helps.

Comments (104)Before we bought our current 1925 brick bungalow farmhouse, we spent several months gathering estimates from contractors and tradesmen so we could make an informed decision and offer. Now granted, the house is in rather original condition (i.e., very few updates, mechanical upgrades, etc.), had not been lived in for about a year, and had quite an accumulation of possessions from three generations that the heirs hadn't cleaned out yet, but the house is very solid with great bones. My favorite comment is from the HVAC contractor who walked around and then asked "Has the house been condemned?" Another favorite came secondhand after a general contractor looked at the house for a remodeling job and later told a mutual friend that he thought I had bitten off more than I could chew! Of course, the house wasn't ours yet when these comments were made, but we closed on it a few months ago and are happily restoring it. It wouldn't be charitable to say I want to make them eat their words, but I do sometimes think on what they might say in a year or two!...See Morelucretzia please read ques. under your pics-anyone know oxford ca
Comments (12)Ok...I'll try to keep this organized. I have mostly drawers. I don't have many upper cabinets, because I have 3 windows along the sink wall, and I have a 7 x 7 pantry. To keep it simple: I have 23 drawers total. 17 on the perimeter and 6 on the island (microwave and trash are in the island). I modeled my island after katieob, only hers is a bit longer and wider than mine. 9 upper cabinets - 3 corner, and 2 on either side of range hood, which is very similar to lucretzia's but smaller, above fridge and a couple others - under sink and next to fridge. 1 hutch type cabinet 54" tall that sits on the counter with 10 lite glass. Lazy susan in corner. They are all inset cabinets with exposed hinges on the doors. Drawers are full extension with soft close. I have a utensil drawer on the island, and a cutlery tray next to the range. A double trash pull out. I would have had spice pull outs, but because the space between my fridge and my range would have been only about 24" with the spice pullouts, I decided to forgo that and have a 36" stack of 3 drawers next to the range - thanks to advice from people on this forum. Everyone on GW was so helpful with helping me plan my ideas. I can truly say my kitchen and my home will be 100x nicer than I would have ever done on my own....See MoreCentury of Books Project - Reading Comments
Comments (93)The House on the Strand by Daphne du Maurier (1969) I first read The House on the Strand the year it was published, 1969, not knowing or caring what genre or subgenre it was considered to be. I have since learned it is classified as science fiction/fantasy, neither of which I usually like a whole lot. It's a good thing that I was then ignorant of such classification because I might have passed over The House on the Strand, a story that has given me immense pleasure in reading and rereading over the years, as well as contemplating it at times between readings. I wasn't sure whether I wanted to write a full-blown review of THotS for this thread, so I looked through some of my earlier notes and writings about it and found a summary that I wrote in May 2005, something that I probably posted here at Reader's Paradise. I can't believe that was almost nine years ago! Reading through that piece again, I think it remains pretty much what I still think after yet another rereading. So below is what I wrote then: The House on the Strand has been classified as science fiction and fantasy, neither of which I ordinarily like a whole lot. Okay, I will concede that the story has elements of science fiction and fantasy -- after all, the main vehicle of the story is time travel. However, I will venture that the main theme is capturing the essence of a time and place in the past, in a way that we as moderns can never quite grasp even when we really and truly want to. Daphne du Maurier used her own house in Cornwall as the focal point for imagining not only its history but the history of the region and its inhabitants during the first half of the fourteenth century (just prior to the Black Plague) -- a brilliant stroke, in my opinion, and one that makes me trust her storytelling more. Not that I expect this story to be a "true" history, but I find that the details of the landscape, time, and characters have the right feel. So much so that I, as a reader, am right there with Dick Young, the twentieth-century protagonist, as we accompany Roger Kylmerth, our guide and the original 14th-century owner of du Maurier's "Kilmarth," on his rounds of the surrounding countryside. Roger, a steward to the widowed Lady Joanna Champernowne, the primary landowner of the region, has the advantage of being able to insinuate himself into all camps. Roger is not always a sympathetic character but he is all the more real for it. Likewise, our contemporary Dick is not always sympathetic: he's married to an American woman who has two pre-teen sons from her previous marriage. We get the feeling that although Dick might love his wife and he has a certain fondness for his stepsons, he would probably do just as well -- or be as happy -- if they just disappeared from his life. He's between jobs and is ambivalent about his wife's plans for him "on her side of the Atlantic." Thus, he accepts his old school chum's offer to take a breather at his family......See Morerredpenn

7 years agoiPad app...running 9.3.5 OS. Latest Houzz update. Can get in to the idea book but cannot add a comment because 1) the three dots only let me edit or delete a comment, or 2) the dots aren't there in the menu where they used to be (portrait and landscape view).
This is what happens when clicking on the 3 dots from within the app. The email link way in seems to work fine.
