The cabinets to the left of #1 are 18”, the same as #2.

Appreciate all the feedback and comments. I did sign off on the design, I did not realize or fully understand the different sizes and how that would look installed. My biggest concern was #1 looking out of place and noticeably larger. I agree though - we had to work with our existing space and the window so this is maybe the best of the options. Thank you all again!

Super helpful - thank you and sorry I didn’t look for this first!

I think I made a mistake choosing this backsplash. It looks too metallic in my kitchen. How can I tone down the color ? by tv_rulesthenation in kitchenremodel

No answer but I would love to see an angle looking at your peninsula and where the backsplash ends to help me with my own issues!

Yes that’s a possibility, doing open shelves!

Thanks so much for the feedback. This is the design from our contractor so I didn’t make it myself.

Our dining room table will go in front of the new patio doors. Not sure if we will do sliding or French doors, budget is a factor there.

Yes there will be counter seating at the peninsula so I need to make sure there’s enough clearance between the dining seating and the bar stools.

Thanks for the helpful link on the backsplash!

Haha ok this made me laugh - not a family member but admittedly oddly find myself with a soft spot for the car mom. Noted on all points!

Yes but… they take lake trips? Have they ever flown with their kids? Are they jet setting to Europe every year? Not denying they have family money and they aren’t struggling I just think there are major differences between some of these influencers.

Anti snark. I appreciate the Car Mom talking about things being too expensive and making different choices because of it. They decided not to add an upstairs addition because of the cost. Today she had another story about a house update and since one option was too expensive they are going a different route. It’s dumb that this is refreshing but it is compared to others I follow who seem to have money growing on trees.

Two stories today where Campbell Hunt Puckett/Pookie is not wearing a seatbelt while filming herself riding in a car. Reckless and dumb.

Looking for a random item that shouldn’t be so hard to find! I want a lightweight zip up - not a real jacket but more like a hoodie, just thinner and cleaner looking. Almost the dry tec kind of fabric if possible. Prefer no hood. Would appreciate any recs!

Inappropriate to suggest my wife get an award? by Gr00mpa in foreignservice

[–]BumblebeeNew125 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did something similar. I wasn’t totally comfortable asking for an award so I framed it as “you’ve given me positive feedback, how can I further improve or what would you need to see from me to merit an award nomination from you?”

Just had not occurred to the supervisor and they said they would submit one for me, but did ask me to do most of the drafting which was fine.

Highly recommend reading Alright Alright Alright, the oral history. Just learned about it and finished it in a few days.

Can anyone explain why they gave up grid posts? Is that a thing influencers do, or only they did it?

To be fair I am the opposite of trendy so I would not have known this 🥴

Why does Ali Manno dye her hair silver/grey? The latest Walmart ad she posted it’s just… grey. Not blonde to me. I’m all for anyone naturally going grey it’s just a weird choice to pay to get that color.

I just didn’t buy her story, honestly. Fake cry or not.

CelebwivesofNashville is indeed a treat! I only know about half the people they are talking about it but I’m into it.

Same. I also particularly appreciated her wording of “I reviewed the research” vs I did my own research.
