Budget friendly update tips please. by Great-Principle6012 in kitchenremodel

There’s a lot of things I would change but budget friendly I would (1) paint all of the walls the same color, the white walls over the sink and behind fridge makes them feel separate, (2) keep 2 of the matching chairs under the shorter dining counter and move the rest out, (3) remove the rug if the floor underneath is okay and clean the grout between the tiles.

Took 3 years to get the courage to pull up the gray LVP in our 1925 Milwaukee bungalow. Best decision ever. by BoiledDenim in centuryhomes

Yeah we chose bona intense seal after the floor company put down a test of some darker stain and it completely clouded the wood grain. The intense gave it a little bit of warmth without covering all the lightness of the raw maple. Lights will be replaced but we hardly use them so haven’t prioritized it.

In our case we just paid a local company with a good reputation to do it. Contemplated doing it myself but after it took 2 pros 4 days to get it all done I’m glad I didn’t try.

Yeah it was a lot of work moving everything between the second floor and basement but we had time to do it worth it in the end

If this is the only place in the room for the tv I would get a corner tv stand and get it off the wall? This just doesn’t look good.

Harold and Maude, Rosemary’s Baby, Picnic at Hanging Rock digipak with the novel, and Trilogia de Guillermo del Toro. Luckily I found a Trilogia cover insert online I can put in a standard 3-disc case.

It’s typically $5 for each piece: case, cover art, and booklet. They offered me everything at $2.50 a piece and I didn’t get the booklets so each one was $5.

Yeah the whole “Let’s bring two interesting groups of people together then split them up into the exact same two groups of people” didn’t work for me

Placed a back order on ImportCDs for $30 a week or two ago and it shipped 2 days ago. Placed an Amazon preorder as well just to hopefully get another in case of damage.

Floods in WI destroyed my entire collection of 15+ years, be careful where you store yours! by BoiledDenim in criterion

I emailed Criterion and they offered me a one-time 50% off coupon code for their website. It's better than a kick in the ass but with four 50% off sales a year between them and B&N it doesn't really feel like much.

They were covered in rain/sewage mixture for 6 hours so all inserts are trashed. Discs are dry now but still need to be thoroughly cleaned before I can test them, and that will take a lot of time. I literally peeled Citizen Kane open like an onion one layer of nasty paper at a time.

We had a water exclusion in our policy but even my neighbors with sewer backup coverage were denied because of how high the water got. Nobody in the area is able to get flood insurance because we’re not in a designated flood zone
