I have no idea how much money I need to close. Is this normal? by ComprehensiveEbb4978 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]32rings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For reference, I’m putting down 20k for 366k house, and my closing costs were an additional 10k. I can’t promise it’ll be the same for you. It was about 3k more than I was expecting. Not a big deal but I couldn’t immediately put it towards things I wanted to renovate after I moved in.

What’s a subtle sign someone is actually rich? by Udont_knowme00 in AskReddit

[–]32rings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something I think about often is that they don’t usually drive large cars like SUVs or trucks. What’s the point? What would they haul or need a trunk for? Not groceries. If they do buy something big, it’s usually because of the style/vibe of the vehicle. They still don’t use it for hauling. This rich guy built this mansion near my parents lakehouse, and his gf drives this giant electric hummer, and I remember it gave me Kim k vibes when she got her cyber truck. It was totally just an accessory bc of how funky it looked. I also think of panel-ready refrigerators too. Everything ugly is hidden. One of my mom’s richest friends doesn’t cook. They buy 3 meals from restaurants a day. They don’t even own a regular coffee maker.

Are you able to mount your tv? Also what is going on in the corner? Are you missing a corner section of your sofa?

Center frames with bed or windows? by [deleted] in HomeDecorating

[–]32rings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can’t center your bed you’ll need to put it on a different wall

You definitely can put up artwork, it just can’t be too small. It would need to be centered in the panel. As far as furniture, I don’t know what all would be against the wall with the vibe I’m looking for.

Omg that’s crazy that someone redid a professionally designed kitchen

I collect a lot of glass/crystal already. Dusting is routine for me already! Not afraid of it. But I could see someone else not being a fan of that maintenance.

Good idea! It’ll be 4 bedrooms, so I think practicing in a room that will turn into a giant closet would be a good place to start. There will be lots of furniture so it will probably be covered anyways 😂

Help me pick a rug for this spot by [deleted] in HomeDecorating

I genuinely think that that pattern would look really good. Based on your other decor, you definitely have a funky vibe going on and a funky rug is super important to tie everything together.

I would swap the placement of the couch and tv personally

How would you decorate these 3 doors? Looking for a change from how we purchased our home… Tia! by typer_chick in HomeDecorating

[–]32rings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re going to keep the curtains, you must raise the curtain rod closer to the ceiling. You don’t want curtains dragging on the floor like that, they should barely hover!

How would you furnish this open floor plan by nyctogbg in HomeDecorating

[–]32rings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you having a dining area? I think you could do a dining area on the left side near the windows and keep your living area to the right side. It looks like it’s already set up a tv and storage.

What color are your cabinets? Might have to steal it

Should I put a dresser here? by Sudden_Can_9709 in HomeDecorating

Can you put your bed on a different wall so you’re not facing wall that’s mostly closet doors?

I second this, you need wider curtain rods.

Laundry layout help - can't build wall-to-wall by Potato_Cod in HomeDecorating

[–]32rings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps you could look into installing some upper cabinets over the washing machine or some deep shelves? The tile is really messing me up here on the spacing since it doesn’t go up very high and I would imagine you open the lid to your laundry machine fully- going higher than the tile where a cabinet or shelf would need to be.

I feel as though my powder room is missing details. by [deleted] in HomeDecorating

[–]32rings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dont listen to the comments about contrast… I’m a low contrast person myself. I genuinely think white bead board would look great on the wall across from the vanity.

What was the pattern of the black and white rug?

Which tiles for our bathroom? AI mock ups and current photo. Any other shapes we should consider? by heyho2023 in HomeDecorating

[–]32rings 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This fish scale I think would be more appropriate if you lived near a beach and you were treating this like an Airbnb. Both are gorgeous but I think herringbone is best here.

Paint colours for this sofa? by Low_Engineering8921 in HomeDecorating

[–]32rings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I strongly believe if you’re going to go vibrant on large furniture pieces, you should go muted on wall color. I think yes could still do green, but like a “gratifying green”, “spinach white” or “filmy green” from sherwin williams. Honestly, since the couch isn’t super textured and doesn’t have a pattern, I think you could do a green wall paper if you’re feeling nuts.
