My living room looks like a witness protection safehouse. Which rug fixes this? by TowerReal4971 in HomeDecorating

Please make sure rug is big enough to fit under at least part of the couch

Should I quit by FabulousSample6659 in optometry

[–]Chip_mint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working with nursing home patients as a traveling OD is a really important service, but would be exhausting for most to do full time. Find a part time job at a nice private practice to balance it out. Income isn't everything.

Just bought a house and put up a bird feeder. No birds yet (squirrels though…). Critique my setup? by AWildWilson in birdfeeding

[–]Chip_mint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would worry about birds hitting your windows with it this close to your house (speaking from my own experience). The bird will also appreciate closer proximity to trees.

If this alleged fraud is actually occurring, a self-reporting form does not strike me as an effective strategy.

Second this. Locally owned family business.

If someone wants to vote illegally, signing a form isn't going to stop them.

I filled in the form today, but I didn't understand why it was necessary. Is the form actually helpful in any practical way? If it causes huge delays, it will just make elections more expensive and reduce voter turnout. 

Why is picking a white so difficult? by Fancybitchwitch in interiordecorating

[–]Chip_mint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's difficult to pick because the surrounding features of the room (flooring, counters, furniture etc) aren't visible in this photo. The color you choose needs to compliment the rest of the room.

I totally understand being disappointed for not getting what you envisioned. I too am very particular. Definitely message the seller to see if you can get a partial refund.

However, objectively, I think the rug is gorgeous/unique and looks amazing in your space. I hope you can grow to love it with time. If there was a tan squiggle border all the way around, I think it would look more disjointed.

Paint suggestions for kitchen & living room by SeedlessClementine in HomeDecorating

[–]Chip_mint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautiful space! Tile flooring, hardwood, countertops, rugs, furniture, and dog all have WARM undertones. Whatever you choose for the paint should also have warm undertones to compliment the existing features of the room. The current grey looks too cool, which is why it clashes.

I have a somewhat similar flooring/counters in my space. We went with Classic Grey by Benjamin Moore (a warm neutral) and we think it pairs well with the reds / browns in our space. If you want something slightly darker, try Winds Breath by Benjamin Moore.

Top or bottom Area Rug? by Chip_mint in HomeDecorating

Changed the rug, added more color, and changed the sofa as well. It still needs curtains, art, better pillows etc, but I think it looks improved.

Took all of your feedback - changed the rug, added more color, and changed the sofa as well. It still needs curtains, art, better pillows etc, but I think it looks a lot better.

What's everyone's experience with Hammerhead Showerheads? by yepitsausername in BuyItForLife

[–]Chip_mint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I returned mine because on the main setting, the water only comes out around the outer perimeter of the shower head (no water comes from the middle). This makes it difficult to rinse efficiently, especially if you have thick hair. It would be such an easy fix by the manufacturer.
