What can you tell me about my yard sale find?
Comments (3)Its a mid-century chair, probably produced for a commercial setting. It was most likely used as a "pull up" chair to a desk in an office/bank etc. The kind of chair you would sit in on the "other side" (visitor's side) of the desk. From the logo typeface I would say late sixties early seventies....See MorePlease VOTE. Chair or Desk!!! can't make up my mind..
Comments (21)Another vote for the desk. It will be a great addition to your salon and the kidney shape is perfect to work with customers. You could probably even take this as a write off once you start up your own business so you may want to ask for a receipt. As others have said, a single chair is much easier to come by. Before finalizing what to do with that corner, first get in the buffet and make sure it works in that space, then finish the decor for that with the mirror and lamps. Only then decide what to do with that other corner. You are a lot like me and go in several different directions at once. Advice to me about 6 months ago was to slow down, take it piece by piece. Well decorated spaces take years to evolve..... If you are looking for several items on a tight budget, try checking out estate sales....See MoreAnd here's my new idea - or pipe dream. Whatever
Comments (49)The neighbor was out when I drove by this morning, so I stopped and talked to him. I asked him if they had had any problems with the valley when it rained and he said they had, but it was mainly with a window and they didn't know if the problem was because of the valley. I could see some signs of water overflowing the end of the valley even with gutter and stop on it. So I went back later to take a picture and his wife said the problem was the window. That makes me feel better because I really love their house and that gable over the porch adds a lot to it's curb appeal. But with all the problems we have with that weird little roof connecting the main part of the house with the (converted garage) den, I don't want to take any chances with this side too. Isn't this house gorgeous? And see, there is a big gable, the little gable over the front door, and then a shed roof. Their big gable section doesn't stick out like ours, but the look is similar. Their front door gable ridge begins at the same line as the shed roof too....See MoreHarvey remodel. My dream HAS to be a reality, now!
Comments (16)We finally found a place to rent that has 3 bedrooms and isn't insanely expensive, Yay! I've been playing with the ideas off and on while buying new cars, visiting potential rentals, and working on the house. I talked with the family about converting our 4th bedroom to expand bath and move laundry. My kids were aghast! Where were guests going to sleep? Where were we going to put the desk top (they watch movies on it occasionally, too)? Middle kid thought that it was going to be his room when ready. So, we've decided to keep laundry in the original place. I'm still stealing some of the 4th BR for our MBA, though. The island plan looks fantastic but I kept wanting more storage options once the laundry room had to stay. Also, there is significant cost savings by not digging out concrete for plumbing and installing a beam for the load-bearing wall. Some ideas I had: 1) Widen the existing 32" doorways from garage and into kitchen to 36". Those doors are a huge pain when moving large items through, like the washer/dryer/fridge etc. I can use a barn door or pocket for the kitchen entrance. This will shorten the pantry a bit (measurements are existing on drawing are existing). 2) 1-2 d/w in clean up zone. Bring the existing pass through to counter level so kids can help put dishes away on DR/FR side. Maybe have space for cookbooks under that counter, as well. 3) 30" deep counters 4) Love to keep Mamagoose's 3 panel doors to the patio. With the wall shortened over there, it will bring a lot of light into the house and northern light isn't so bad in the South. I'm not sure what to do with the cabinets between the fridge and sink. I'd like to plan for the future and have some kind of narrow pullout to the left of my 32" all fridge that can be removed if going bigger. The wall on that side can be shortened for french door swing and the pantry remain as sized. Maybe a narrow pantry using cabinetry and store packages of paper towels, grocery bags, etc, above the appliances in the laundry...or in the garage....See More- 9 years ago
