It "looks" small but it isn't, however the architecture is a little funky. There is a room on the top floor dedicated just to the bathtub. Kinda like it but Not sure what that stuff in picture #13 is. The front facing kitchen island looks unfinished. Rooms are in several levels with a step, probably pretty challenging for a toddler. Especially the one, from a kiddo's playroom to the office looks pretty dangerous, on #36. What were they thinking!? The"open face" steps (#38) looks like a bad idea. What's the grey glass thing on the left side (#39) - a glass window to the floor below? A view into a play area?

I am having a hard time with the lack of counterspace in this kitchen. Hard to see but I have a large cutting board (my only cutting area) to the left of the kitchen and my coffee machine towards the back left. There is no room for a center island. Do you think I could get away with adding a rolling cart where this bench is positioned? It totally makes me feel cut off while cooking but I have no other ideas. Help! Edit: Adding more photos with some of your suggestions as well as the back corner. https://imgur.com/a/paz7ueY submitted by /u/butimadecake to r/HomeDecorating [link] [comments]

So, I bought this house that was ‘in need of updating and modernisation’. It was overlooked for months, according to the agents because people couldn’t see beyond the current decor. Thankfully, the house had a beautiful sea view, so, for a significantly reduced price I snapped it up and thought I’d worry about the rest later…. I absolutely detested the small dark kitchen, I’m often told I bite off more than I can chew, this was one of those occasions, and chew away I did. They said it’d be too much work, it couldn’t be done, but I had a vision, and come hell or high water I would have a nice kitchen. I decided to swap the rooms around by bringing the kitchen into the existing dining room, knocking the chimney breast out to accommodate an eBay find oven that I was determined would fit because it was a bargain, creating a central island to house the sink and dishwasher and making the existing kitchen a utility type room for washer, dryer, fridge etc. What followed was a lot of blood, sweat, tears, swearing, roping my girlfriends and my 65 year old mum in to dismantle flooring, walls and tiles by using a lure of wine and takeaways. 10 weeks of washing up in the upstairs bath (which was hell on earth), dealing with a new pup mid project (definitely bit off some more to chew), and helping the poor driver they sent alone with said bargain eBay range cooker, lift it up a flight of stairs and over my neighbours wall to get it into my house at 7am on a Sunday morning 😏 But we got there!! I now own enough power and hand tools to give B&Q a run for their money and a lot more knowledge when it comes to ‘DIY’ thanks to YouTube and forums like these here on Reddit. So thank you, and keep the banter up, it lightens the mood mid project meltdown 😀 My lovely mum always said to never judge a book by its cover, nor underestimate the drive of a determined woman 💁🏼‍♀️ 💅🏼 submitted by /u/OctoberScorpio77 to r/DIYUK [link] [comments]

I found this on a local news page which led me to look up the Zillow listing edit since some people don't see the nested links in the text: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/84-Wyona-Ave-Selden-NY-11784/59326209_zpid/ https://greaterlongisland.com/small-but-mighty-selden-home-hits-the-long-island-market-for-329k/ submitted by /u/danooli to r/zillowgonewild [link] [comments]

TLDR: met someone who i thought was a good match but ended up not being a match in the most alarming way. He wanted me to do therapy with him, and would say and do the most bizarre things. Sharing this in celebration of him finally moving out. A couple months ago I sublet the spare room in my NYC apt to someone (34,M) I met on Reddit. i have lived in the apartment for 5 years now. Problems started almost immediately after he moved in. One of the main issues was that he arrived with a significant amount of shared-space items that he had never mentioned before. Not only did they not fit in the apartment, but he also began rearranging things and moving my items and furniture without asking... He started directing where things in the apartment should go and placing decorative objects in areas of practical spaces. The breaking point for me was when he placed a tray of several large vintage crystal decanters and wine glasses directly on the center of the small kitchen island as decoration (this is in NYC and the island is where I cook). The decanters were large, fragile, and took up most of the space. I told him that while they were beautiful, they couldn’t stay there because i need the counter space. I also hated the idea of the apartment being alcohol-centric to put it on display on the kitchen island. This upset him quite a lot and led to a series of increasingly intense conversations about fairness, "gracefulness", communication and our relationship as roommates. During one of these discussions he asked if I would be willing to go to therapy with him. At this point he had lived in the apartment for barely a month. To say I was shocked, shooketh and gagged would be an understatement of last year, but I kept a poker face and said I was open to the idea if it helped resolve tensions, mostly hoping he wouldn’t actually bring it up again. 15 minutes later he returned back to the topic of therapy and asked me a follow-up question; he asked me if I had agreed to therapy only because he had suggested it, or whether I would have independently thought of therapy myself. In other words, I think he knew how crazy the idea of therapy sounded and wanted me to validate him furthermore after I had said that I am open to the idea of therapy. This probing made me come to the slow and scary realization about him. He is a person of extreme intensity who constantly analyzes, calculates, questions, and interrogates every interaction. He would ask me similar questions to measure my intentions and morals, but frame them as "just trying to understand what you meant/ understand you better, why would you think the worst of me??". I would always feel probed and examined under a microscope as you can see above. It was exhausting. This was also a source of our tensions as I look back on it. After that discussion we spent the next two weeks mostly quiet, civil but not socializing. Then Halloween weekend came around and a friend asked if they could come over to stay with me. She has visited me every year before him in the apartment. I checked with my roommate first to make sure he was okay with it out of courtesy despite the clear guest policies. This prompted the response in the screenshot. I even compromised to him in return by telling him that she will exclusively stay in my bedroom which has its own bathroom, so that he won’t be bothered by her presence. I planned to bring her water and food from the kitchen if needed be. He still found a problem with it, claiming that I have control issues and that there was no point in asking him anything if I was going to do whatever I wanted to do in the apartment. The crazy thing is that I gave in and did the therapy with him, and regretfully regretted it. He exploded into bursts of rants in therapy and the therapist did little to no help claiming « nobody is right or wrong » . I distanced myself as far away as possible from him after, worried he would lash out to me. Some of the other bizarre/outrageous things he did: - He posted on part of his reddit apartment search that he prefers not to live with people who are on psychiatric meds. He also asked me if I was on psych meds when we met the first time and explained that he does not prefer to live with someone taking psych meds. It seemed like he had a bad experience. I agreed with him, saying that while I respect people who take psych meds, I would prefer not to live with them if possible but that it's not something I actively screen for. A month into his move in, I found prescription bottles of Escitalopram and other anxiety meds in his name lying around. - While we were hanging out shortly after he moved, I once told him in passing "... blah blah since I tend to be an introvert". He told me he actually didn’t appreciate that I hadn’t disclosed that I am an introvert when we met, and said that if he had known I was an introvert he might have made different choices about moving in. When I asked what he meant by that, he said : Him: "Well, I am a 100% extrovert, and I didn't want us to be passing ships in the night, and expected this to be... sort of a Golden Girls situation where we are close together." Me: "... Well, I am sorry if you feel that my introversion is something I should have announced to you, but that does not mean I won't spend time with you at all but rather that I do need some time alone from time to time with myself to recover and reflect. So if you would like to spend time and hang out with me like we are now, just tell me or ask and I can let you know if I am free". I kid you not, he said : "Well...... I am not sure if I like that, because I don't like to put myself in a position where I am being told yes or no" Me: "😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀 ....... So if you have a work obligation or any other obligation, and if I ask you to drop whatever you are obligated to and hang out with me non-stop 24/7, are you saying that you will do it? Is that what you are also expecting me to do? While he did not answer me yes, he also did not answer me no and had to think about the answer before diverting to another topic!!! I never really truly understood his nature as I had to distance myself from him, so please let me know if I missed something clearly obvious from him. Anyway, he finally moved out. Here’s to hoping I won’t have to do therapy with the next one!! Stay safe out there! submitted by /u/nightshade_45 to r/badroommates [link] [comments]

So I’m getting ready to start planning our kitchen remodel. A few owners ago the kitchen was “upgraded” and they added an island in our small kitchen. Kitchen is about 10’8” x 11’ 6” with a dining room of one side and opened to the living room. The island sits right on the divide from kitchen to living room and even has carpet going around a portion of of it. I’d like to turn the island into a peninsula kitchen, but that means giving up my tall pantry. I’ve seen a few pictures of a tall cabinet put on the corner of a peninsula kitchen and was wondering if that would work well because it’s over a longer countertop or would it make an awkward cabinet to get into. Any recommendations or ideas would be great! I’ve attached a few pictures I’ve pulled from the internet trying to explain the idea/trouble spot. submitted by /u/Mismatched_8586naan to r/kitchenremodel [link] [comments]
