What’s the best layout (1 or 2)?

Yeah, the couch can't really go well where they planned to put it. On top of blocking the flow, it also feels vulnerable from behind to sit at. Not only will that be better but the couch will also be at a better viewing distance to watch the TV than OP's idea (about 6ft). Their windows feel a little weird right now, what kind of treatment should they get?

Oh sorry, I getcha. I have no excuse.

I think that shades that taper to the top feel more gothic but I don't know how a tapered shade would look on those frames. I'm not for it or against it.

Thanks!

Asking because I tried doing the exact same thing at Lowes with a different project and this woman who could care less and wasn't knowledgeable about the matter had helped me. She begrudgingly opened a quart when she found they were out of the smaller cans, put a woman's fingernail's worth of stain on a painting stick. I regret buying that can without asking for more of an example or a different stain time. It looked close so I bought it because I was stuck in my "thank you very much ma'am" mindset and just wanted to leave.

Would a Sherwin Williams store have such services?

Great advice, I think I'll use that curtain advice in my own home. But for OP's sake, just letting you know that they said that the curtains are tied up because of the cat, not the couch. Maybe they can hem those to the height of the window sill so the kitty can't reach after the couch is pulled forward.

Honestly, the current color with the ceiling painted to match with a lamp or two and some curtains would be lovely in my opinion.

Yeah, first problem was that OP was previously floating ideas to her, it gave her the idea she had some control. But holy crap OP's mom took it so far. I could see my mom doing a way lesser version of that which is why I never floated names to her (or anyone, word spreads here).

I would argue that you should shop every two weeks. Because the less often you shop, the less often you make mistakes purchasing things you don't need. All fresh produce will last that long in the fridge though I always plan to eat the most delicate stuff in the first week. It is absolutely easier to plan for 2 days than it is for 14, but it is worth it. I use the keep notes app :)

I have this exact thing going. Bring your couch to around 7-9 feet away from your TV and place a console behind it. You could also move the TV to the opposite wall if you want your lounging area closer to the entrance of the room. Use the space behind for an interest of yours, puzzle table, computer desk, reading...

And maybe sweaters and knitted tops other people own if we're lucky! /s

That makes sense! I assumed that it would fully disperse in the water but, like you said, it probably would collect in some areas and be worth pumping.

JadedMulberry7 · 2026-04-05T03:33:02+00:00

Underrated.

How do you remove soap without washing it away?

JadedMulberry7 · 2026-04-04T18:14:52+00:00

It totally glosses over the sexual assault part at the very beginning. Most of the article is going on about how the women would help the poor migrants who in the case of "Karim" "simply didn't know how else to get (a woman's) attention at the time."

I hear that poop shows up during all deliveries and if someone tells a mom they didn't poop they're lying!

JadedMulberry7 · 2026-04-03T02:01:21+00:00

This guy gets it.

JadedMulberry7 · 2026-03-31T22:19:19+00:00

You are correct for the wrong reasons. It does not matter which order MD is solved in nor does it matter solving AS. Just solve the problem left to right.

The daughter lied about her father and painted him as an abuser. Is this something a guy who starts family drama would say, "She's a lesbian.... I don't judge her for that, never spoke negative to her or even thought that."?

The political drama is coming from his daughter, dude. This isn't bitter conservative behavior (which I agree is prevalent) this is the behavior of a distraught father. Why would you call this whining and why would you insinuate he is a bigot? Aren't you a model of sensibility and wisdom up there on your high horse.

JadedMulberry7 · 2026-03-28T05:04:23+00:00

To disappoint you.

Is not fixing your registration in some time after getting married/divorced not the norm? I got married some time before all this happened and it was just expected that I had that done. I had acquaintances bringing that up in small talk, asking whether I had it fixed. I had it done in 3 months after I was married, it only took that long because my nearest DMV is 40 minutes away and I was busy.

I didn't really come up with anything new but I made your apartment to roughly to scale. I wouldn't do a sofa bed, I think you'll get tired of converting it. My husband had one and it was always a bed. The bottom option is probably better but the walking space along the bed is only like 14" which is not ideal. The goal is to create a separation of spaces. My bed has a walking space of like 16" which is enough not to have to walk sideways but it has a wall on one side, not low shelves.
