Tell me what you hate ):-)
Comments (67)Outsideplaying - I haven't thougt about an ironing board! I work at home and it's incrediby rare that I need one. And my husband wears all those wrinkle-free shirts. So it won't be a problem to grab it out of the utility closet! kirkhall - not quite follwing you with the stair suggestion. Funny though... the guest bath access doesn't bother me one bit. My dad has a similar setup in his house and I love it. It's nice and private. I feel like the jack and jill bath is equal distance from the kitchen/great room. You just have to hang a left. And I don't want to have to clean up the kids bath for guests - rubber duckies and toys everywhere now and a gross teenage mess when they're older. Having our powder room next to our dining room table in the kitchen in our current house might be influencing me as well. We often listen to people doing their business in there... while eating! ugh! kacee2002 - thanks, I love them too. They're a dream come true for a neat freak like me. Everyone's crap gets stuffed into them. And I've got all the kids trained now - it's the first place they go when they come in :) Guest closet - no worries. We have one now and we never use it. Ever. We just store off season coats in there. Same with the other closets. We just don't use coat closets. We use the locker and hooks and guests coats are typically put on couch or bed! Worst case scenario, they can hang them in the study! Thank you so much everyone for your opinons on the laundry room setup. Unfortunately, I'm still undecided and have no idea which one works best! Maybe I'll sleep on it!...See MoreDon't hate me...I'm starting over.
Comments (45)You said, DONE, so I assume you bought it. I think it will add a richness to your seating area and let the coffee table really show. I think many of us would have chosen an oriental style, but if the cream swirls makes you happy, then that's all that matters! I think your room has evolved very nicely from when you first posted. I hope you'll post again when it's in place!...See MoreI hate these couches, do you?
Comments (18)They're very close to the wall color, so it could just be that you are reacting to not enough contrast. If that's the problem, you could paint, or you could pull in colors as others have suggested with a rug and other furnishings....See MoreCovid Isolation is making me hate my laundry room!!
Comments (12)I had a similar dilemma and purchased stackable washer/dryer. Keep three things in mind before you settle on a stackable: - How tall are you? I was interested in a stackable, but when I "tried one" at the store I realized it isn't for short people like me. It just wouldn't be easy for me personally to use. - Those front-loaders (whether they're stacked or not) are space hogs. They're really deep. Since this space already exists, measure carefully and be sure you'll have a comfortable work space left. - Consider how you'll pull out the heavy machines to clean the lint /keep the dryer fire-safe. Your bench and shoe shelves look great! Yes, love the bench and shoe rack. Thoughts: - Could you use the blind corner space for emergency supplies stored in boxes? It looks like a space that's difficult-but-not-impossible to access. - I've never had /never wanted a laundry sink, but I don't think I'd want to pay to remove it. I think I'd get a large wooden sink-cover, which would make the sink into a folding area. - What are you storing under the sink? Are you making the most of that storage? - This is a very small thing, but -- given that this is a work space -- I'd hang the zebra picture on the wall, opening up a small bit of space. - What are you storing in all those upper cabinets? Are you making the most of that storage? - I don't love the drying-hanger. It seems to block access to the machines....See MoreSammie J
