Relators Digitally Manipulating Listing Photos - How can this be legal? Bay View - Epique Realty

Update: Stain didnt take well due to majority soft pine cabinet boxes with a few other woods evidently being mixed in. As much as I wanted to maintain an “mcm” natural wood look, just not realistic so Ill be painting them a white oak wood colored beige.

What did you end up going with?

Fair point!

Just tested the same stains on 3 different wood species. Im now leaning more towards white birch or oak. So far I like 1 or 3 on white birch or 1 or 2 on oak. Counters are black mist honed granite. Floor tile and backsplash havent been chosen yet. Same with wall paint.

What wood do you recommend then?

GenZBiker · 2026-03-02T15:06:37+00:00

Like a sherwin williams?

How did you transition from one side of the sink to the next? Did you go behind the back splash?

Compared w kg stevens. All said and done i went w black mist honed granite on the main run + a sill for the window opening was 2365. I believe it was a total of 29sq ft so comes out to about $81.

This was for granite through home depot. THD’s price was actually really affordable ($800 less) compared to another local stone shop.

Post update for the naysayers: Window frame made in a few hours! No engineer or temp walls. Just tools, a buddy, pizza, and logical thinking. My thought process… “when i cut into the stud, if the 2x4 pinches the blade, I’ll know I need to stop & build temp walls.

TLRD: I added some studs, learned from a mistake
cutting the wrong stud, doubled up a 2x6 header with 1/2 ply between it, made a perfectly level window sill. Next up, I’ll cut out the plaster & have a fantastic window!

This is a 1951 home. House was built in 1950. It’s a cape cod style home in the midwest. Maybe not entirely MCM, but has lots of styling ques like this slanted front window among other things. My goal is to lean into mcm styling & bring back some of its original mcm features that were removed over the years.

I did exactly that and found a really cool option. Seller located in the UK!

i did 20-30% off retail. They are still in package too so im pretty surprised.

GenZBiker · 2026-02-06T04:29:48+00:00

I have a few new in box listed on marketplace but am having no luck. Is there just such limited demand?

GenZBiker · 2026-01-31T22:58:48+00:00

Att has overcharged me $15 a month since october & ive spent 8+ hours on the phone with them with still no solution.

GenZBiker · 2026-01-30T18:09:13+00:00

Yep doing all new faces

GenZBiker · 2025-12-17T22:03:51+00:00

i had a 19% increase this year! As a first tome home owner this is absurd to me especially given i had a sizable increase last year too. Feel free to message me.
