Are comfort height toilets worth it?
Comments (30)Thanks, funky camper, you make another good point about the natural position we're supposed to be in. And since your husband is tall, it's nice for him to have what he wants and a really good idea to have a second toilet at the height you want. Actually, I was in a showroom yesterday and had an opportunity to try the Kohler comfort height toilet. We measured the height and it was 17 inches. I didn't find it uncomfortable as I anticipated, and I'm 5ft 5in too. And so we just measured the toilet we have and it is 16 inches. We have a Kohler that was replaced 15 years ago, so evidently they'd already started raising the height. So, it seems it is a moot point. One inch is not going to make much difference. Definitely, think that actually measuring your own toilet and measuring those in the showroom you're considering is better than assuming old toilets are one height and new toilets are different. But, I do think most people have two bathrooms. On the first floor, it makes the most sense to go with the comfort height toilet, and we can put a lower toilet on the second floor.

Comments (21)Washable latex or rubber backed area rugs (we used to call them "throw" rugs)have come a long way in design and decor. I keep a runner in front of sink, small rectangular size in front of frig and range. I am currently using a berber style weave. JCP, Kohls, Target, and even Walmart have some nice small area rugs in different sizes including runner size. I just checked a few on JCP and they do have 60" and 108" runners. I would love to be able to use a nice oriental style rug, but my kitchen is to cook, prepare food, etc. and I love having the ability to throw my rugs in the washer about once a month. Also cuts down on mopping! I also like that it breaks up too much "wood" look by adding another texture and color. Tuesday...See MoreWaterhog mats - worth the $$?
Comments (29)I just bought two herring-bone mats and two larger everyspace mats. I do realize I will be able to see the dog hair but our three dogs are in and out of the doggy door chasing squirrels all day and bring in a lot of dirt after digging but I do love the pups very much. Hopefully this will help control the dirt they bring into the house but it's nice to read the comment about placing a mat underneath it to keep it in place. I'll get back to you and let you know how they work. I'm still waiting on two which will arrive tomorrow. I bought them in sage and they are nice looking....See MoreIs there an ideal ratio for a kitchen island?
Comments (39)The original design was ironically nearly identical to a professional chef and restauranteur's home kitchen. The only difference was that his had wall ovens, and a small sink in the island. But also ironically, he wanted an island that had nothing but counter on it: https://www.lifeofanarchitect.com/a-chefs-kitchen/ I guess this chef doesn't see a need to wash his fruits, veggies, etc before prepping them....See MoreRelated Professionals
