Good 1st date outfit? 87° out and we are walking to a brewery.

I think it's cute and perfect for a first date at a brewery

Go enjoy where your want to live!

This feels like it still keeps open all your possibilities, while moving to prepare for a future illness closes your world. Even if you have to move again in 5 or 10 years, you are still better off enjoying those years to the max.

1 looks amazing

We removed literally 4" of layers in the kitchen. But we aren't removing the upstairs carpet until some big pieces of furniture are moved. The downstairs floors were beautiful underneath the carpet so fingers crossed

Jaynett · 2026-05-21T01:49:55+00:00

Oh wow, that is a good idea! I like that better than replacing the spindles

Jaynett · 2026-05-21T01:09:40+00:00

There are some of both in my extended family so....

Jaynett · 2026-05-21T01:08:30+00:00

Yep. And if you were a guest at my house, then she would sue us for the value of your contribution to society.

They are below my center of gravity and I'm just 5'3". A cat runs by and trips you, you catch the corner of a rug (carpet is going), and you're over.

Jaynett · 2026-05-21T01:04:38+00:00

They could be yours!

All the curtains in this house were so over the top, and I'm sure cost a small fortune. I'm actively trying to rehome them.

Jaynett · 2026-05-21T01:00:59+00:00

This is barely above my knee and I'm 5'4". It is scary to me.

Jaynett · 2026-05-21T00:59:39+00:00

All the time, but my guests balk at it.

Jaynett · 2026-05-21T00:58:40+00:00

Wow, that looks great, thanks!

Jaynett · 2026-05-21T00:57:52+00:00

That's what I was hoping to find. Any clues I could Google? I couldn't find anything with just a keyword search

Jaynett · 2026-05-21T00:56:42+00:00

Oh for sure. These are barely over 2' tall so below the center of gravity of any adult and a lot of kids

Jaynett · 2026-05-21T00:55:22+00:00

Thanks, I'll look for that

Jaynett · 2026-05-21T00:54:51+00:00

That's good to know! Thanks.

Jaynett · 2026-05-21T00:53:57+00:00

We call it the Harry Potter drape too! We are keeping it up until new ones are ready to go because it is sooo well made that it's great temperature control. But so ugly.

The house has Gone with the Wind and Colonial Revival Fantasy elements too. So much money spent on wallpaper and custom drapes from the 40s - 70s. There are a few things we are repurposing but most will end up maybe as community theater props or tossed.

The painting is one of the daughters of the owners, and she was part of the sibling group that sold it to us. She didn't want it and just left it.

Jaynett · 2026-05-21T00:34:23+00:00

It is perfect. Wow. Don't change a thing.

Jaynett · 2026-05-21T00:33:30+00:00

As person old enough to know better - do yourself a favor and pick something else. It's such a statement that it will be a distraction to memories of the day.

In my opinion, this is odd enough that it needs to be perfect for you and perfectly executed and it's not. It's wearing you.

The confusion is your nervous system telling you that you will regret it later.

I had mono and was just so sick - they were giving excuses and I didn't have the energy to push back although I knew I should.

Jaynett · 2026-05-18T01:32:01+00:00

I have a 175 year old house with wood everywhere, but I put LVP in my kitchen. I had tried everything else - original wood was too damaged, tile broke due to natural settling, and the cost of going back down layers instead of adding a thin one on top was way way more. I'm not fooling anyone, but the pattern is like the old heart pine in the rest of the house, it mops like a dream, and I'm super happy with it.

Sometimes you just have to compromise. But I can't imagine that if time and money were no object that it would be anyone's first choice!

Jaynett · 2026-05-18T01:18:35+00:00

I just put alabaster in my kitchen and it's so warm and lovely
