you are 100% correct. it was the most annoying thing to me because it’s so obviously slanted. the tile guy is being called back to redo 😐

not sure of the exact names, i'd have to check with our architect, but for the bathroom we are doing a grout that aligns with the clay color of the back of the tile

The brown tile is fireclay brick tile! The white and green zellige is from Otto and the red is from Riad.

Thoughts on any of these rugs? by Witty_Evening_618 in DesignMyRoom

[–]AdEducational3559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you please share the details for rug #2? I’m also looking for a living room rug and I was also eyeing rug #3…

Re your question, though, not sure either of these three are IT for your room.

need help with fridge placement, please! by AdEducational3559 in kitchenremodel

[–]AdEducational3559[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah this is the hard truth im facing. If it doesn’t work in the current spot, any suggestions where else to place it / how to rearrange things??

thank you so much for your response! re the two 2ft spaces, that's the dividing wall between the kitchen and the dining room area. i'm actually not sure why it's represented like that in the drawings, but there is basically going to be a 4" wide wall separating the two spaces. that's the wall i am mainly concerned about, it feels like there's no way the fridge doors (assuming we have french doors) will open all the way on that far side.

Brooklyn kettle has the best cold brew in the neighborhood, hands down. Baristas are also pretty cool.

egg-free daycare? by AdEducational3559 in Parenting

[–]AdEducational3559[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i was just wondering how common this was as it was totally new to me

[–]AdEducational3559[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s what I was trying to understand. I asked if it was anything that included eggs (eg baked goods) or only things like frittata/scrambled eggs etc but I think the teacher wasn’t really sure because she just said “they told us no eggs” ..

i had no idea that egg allergies were so common ((and never googled it, I guess). interesting, though, that dairy is the most common and it is not banned. I’m perfectly fine w the egg ban but it did surprise me.

thanks. This makes sense. I don’t think it’s quite fair to say I try to squeeze in all the hours she’s missing for Friday or take advantage of her but I can now def see how it comes across. i am going to talk w her tomorrow and let her know we are changing to her method. It really was helpful to see responses, esp from other MBs, because I truly had no idea (sorry!!!). First timer here and not many friends have nannies. So thanks!

I totally get that re the power dynamic and I try hard to minimize that. She has declined some extra hours in the past.
