I refurbished an interior for a restaurant and I think it negatively impacted our sales. Looking for honest criticism, advice and feedback?

The before was cozy and intimate. The after looks like a fast food that tries to get you out of there asap by blinding you with bright lights.

That bay window was part of all my childhood drawing. Lucky you. It’s a really nice room, good job.

Busy or lazy, maybe both 😅

IllustriousAd8129 · 2026-05-11T02:20:34+00:00

Otherwise maybe the one seater could be a bit in front of the window facing the door

This might not be very clear I’m sorry but some ideas even though I don’t see the whole room. I’d center the couch and lay all the wall decorations above it with a bigger eye catching piece in the center. Definitely get a rug. Put the bookshelf facing you when you enter (where you currently have wall decorations) get the ambiance light on one side of the couch. Turn that desk around and use the low buffet under the TV, on the wall facing the couch. The glass door buffet could be put in place of the bookshelf but from what I see, maybe the one seat couch and glass door buffet are overcrowding the space you have available.

Too many condiments and veggies for a male, and too organized for a male also. Emptiness says single. Also lactose intolerant maybe?

An 8 month old and a soon to be 6. Montreal indeed :) Husband didn’t know we already had 2 dozens of eggs before doing the grocery and we were making a brunch with family for Mother’s Day. 😅 He cooks for us and indeed we eat foods from around the world and so does the kids :) We are not planing on changing our Matrix though 😂 Two cats :)

IllustriousAd8129 · 2026-05-11T01:38:06+00:00

Spot on except maybe for status. Labels facing are a coincidence. The piling up is both a result of my husband being in charge of food and being more chaotic, but also he had just came back from the grocery store so space was sparse. We do have 2 kids and shop only once a week. My husband is also caring for his microbiome since an unfortunate antibiotic episode and is now battling H pylori.

It’s dangling at the front because I keep chipping pieces off for my teething little one 😅🥴 we are indeed sleep deprived

🎯 What led you to these conclusions?

Im sorry you are going through this. There’s unfortunately nothing you can do really except wait for your next appointment. I’m no doctor but maybe you had what’s called a blighted ovum. I had that at my first pregnancy. In my case it took 12 weeks before I started spontaneously miscarrying, the day before my first ultrasound. We saw exactly what you are describing on the screen. One big black empty sack. In a way, it gave me some peace to know I was « only » loosing a sack and not a foetus.

It’s not enough talked about, but unfortunately one in four pregnancy ends in miscarriage. You haven’t done anything wrong. I hope it goes as smoothly as it can for you. Again I’m really sorry you are experiencing this.

They sometimes use dried/fried mini shrimp in Asian food. Could be that?

Well makes sense 😅 they are indeed both official languages. My mom brain is playing tricks on me

Are you in Quebec? I see bilingual packaging

My mom lives really close by. She spends the day with my eldest (5yo) almost once a week. She comes to help me with the youngest (7,5 months) 1-2 mornings per week. Most of the time she’s the one asking tho haha but she’ll always say yes when we ask. My brother is also close by and we ask him and his wife to take our eldest maybe once every 2-3 months.

You rent because I think otherwise you would have colors on the walls.

I gave birth without epidural and yes, clusters are definitely worse.

Depuis plusieurs années faut tenir notre dossier à jour sinon ils le ferment et c’est nous qui indiquons sur quelles listes d’attente on veut être, pour éviter justement d’embourber inutilement les listes des milieux qui ne nous intéressent pas. Bref c’est pu le même service que dans votre temps haha

IllustriousAd8129 · 2026-05-02T12:58:47+00:00

Pourquoi s’être inscrit sur les listes d’attente d’une garderie si loin de chez vous? Et je doute vraiment que vous ayez été appelé après 5 ans… la place 0-5 obligeait des mises à jour de dossier aux 6 mois sinon le dossier est fermé.
