I don't want to be judged....just need some advice
Comments (16)A few years ago we had the same problem. My nieces and nephews were starting to get partners and get married, have kids etc so that demands for their time on Christmas Day increased. We had our Christmas Dinner on Saturday (the 8th) with everybody but what we have also started doing in having a cookie contest. Everyone makes a batch of cookies and then brings them anonymously into the house. Someone is appointed the judge and both taste and looks (how decorated a cookie is) are taken into consideration. We have a trophy and my sister takes care of getting the name of the winner engraved onto the trophy. Then we spend the rest of the evening eating cookies. If your family is actually staying with you I don't know if that would work out but it has turned out to be a really fun thing to do and everyone looks forward to it....See MoreDon't want to stay true to my house's style ..

Comments (2)I suggest you post this on the Home Decorating forum. You will get alot more feedback than you'll get here. A colonial is not a craftsman. A bungalow is a 1 or 1 1/2 story house - not a 2 story. Craftsman homes don't have attached garages. There will be lots you can do to update this house. However, don't force it into something it's not. And don't be married to the trendy non-colors that some say are popular today ie greige. Colors of nature are always best for homes in wooded settings. head on over to Home Decorating:)...See MoreHelp! I don’t know how to make my long living room cozy
Comments (27)What Beverly shows you works well and looks terrific to start. The only thing I would change is the TV - change it to what katinparadise and rthawk described. The console your TV is on now is contributing to the visual clutter - and their solution will eliminate that and clear up that corner area. Your room looks so much better with the sectional moved to the long wall. That sofa table Bevs shows really works with that end of the sofa - so you can add a lamp and make the room even more cozy. I love the curtains Bev shows and the way to hang them so they don't crowd the window (high) and full. Good luck, have fun with your new room! You are on the right track OP....See MoreI don't want to overdo by ovens! Need advice -Speed, Steam, Conv, etc.
Comments (16)@b Carey Funny you say that!!! I came close to doing that! But instead have decided to do a 30” fridge/over double freezer drawers (side by side) so the top of both units are fridge and the 2 drawers on both sides are freezer. This gives me about the same cu ft as the 36” column fridge. The 4 freezer drawers are plenty for me. (I also have a fridge/freezer drawers undercounted at coffee/smoothie bar that will stock frozen fruit and fresh veggies or almond milk for smoothies. Last minute change once I realized how small the cu ft on a 30” column is!!! So glad I compared to current one now. My current standard GE fridge/freezer is 15.7/9.7 cu. it would have only gone to 17/15 if I did 30”/30” but now with change it will be 21/10cuft. Hoping it’s a smart move!...See MoreJenna van der Velden
