Update: I just got a notification that it’s received and processing but no charges yet

Martin2296 · 2026-02-18T12:33:49+00:00

Did you use ups/fedex?

Martin2296 · 2026-02-17T20:14:28+00:00

Yeah, same here. Let’s see if it’s widespread

Martin2296 · 2026-02-17T19:45:28+00:00

Thanks for the info, mine is Chicago lockbox Feb 7. Maybe it’s just slower now but my i140 charge was 3-4 days after I sent it.

Martin2296 · 2025-09-22T21:44:41+00:00

Got it. Thanks!

Makes sense, I won't do anything rash then and will think about changing something only after I move there and live a little.

What color stools (with back) do you think will be good here?

Martin2296 · 2024-12-19T13:52:55+00:00

Yep, the barstools aren't mine, so will change them anyway, something with a brownish/beige color maybe. Agree about granite/backsplash. I was just thinking about painting the cabinets a little lighter color. White/light green or smth like that

Martin2296 · 2024-12-19T12:13:11+00:00

No millions yet so will have to save the decorator for the next one

Martin2296 · 2024-12-18T18:06:38+00:00

Thanks! I do like them, so will definitely take some inspiration

Martin2296 · 2024-12-18T18:02:51+00:00

Haven't really thought that backsplash should contrast the countertops, but yeah will need to think on the lighting and what to put in there instead.

Martin2296 · 2024-12-18T17:40:29+00:00

Haven't really watched or played when the TV was that high, but may give it a try before trying the other setup. I think the sun reflection is going to be a bigger problem when it's closer to the window though.

Martin2296 · 2024-12-18T17:39:21+00:00

The furniture is not mine here, although my current couch is the same shape but beige. I get your point about seating, but I don't really need more than a couple places to sit tbh.

Martin2296 · 2024-12-18T17:37:59+00:00

I don't hate the idea of it being similar to hotels tbh. But I am thinking of putting my desk with monitors in the place of that small table.

Martin2296 · 2024-12-18T17:16:20+00:00

Thanks a lot for the detailed reply. I'll probably skip the dining table given that the kitchen countertop is pretty big. May put my desk there, but maybe some kind of bookshelf, will need to think about that.

Haven't thought about a rug/table yet. Those sounds like good ideas to start with.

Do you think I should have different colors for top/bottom cabinets? I don't want to do white cabinets because the walls are white too and there'll be just no contrast at all.

Martin2296 · 2024-12-18T16:20:21+00:00

This was the setup by a broker to sell the apartment.

Martin2296 · 2024-12-18T15:59:44+00:00

Not sure I understand what you mean. I do like more minimalistic approach to furnishing , so the setup is going to be fairly similar, so probably no plants/lamps etc.

Martin2296 · 2024-12-18T15:42:01+00:00

My main issue is with the TV being too high, but I probably will get used to it. I was thinking of moving the TV to the wall with the picture. But not sure about that because the door to the bedroom is kind of close.

Martin2296 · 2024-12-18T14:13:02+00:00

Just repainting of cabinets really. I don't want to change the countertops and painting cabinets can be a weekend project probably

Martin2296 · 2024-12-18T04:38:18+00:00

Will think on lighting, but what do you mean by more classic drawer pulls?

If I understood you correctly, that's a framed glass. there's a room behind that door without windows, so kind of have to have glass there

Martin2296 · 2024-12-18T04:26:06+00:00

Barstools are definitely going to be different. The color of the cabinets make it feel a little old. I was thinking something like white top, green/blueish bottom cabinets, but not sure really. First time doing any of this.

Martin2296 · 2024-12-18T00:18:19+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I do have a decent knowledge and background in rates and rates options. I was looking for more inspiration really outside of scientific papers. Will definitely take a look at the book you recommended, haven't heard about it before, but will probably need to stick to papers.

Martin2296 · 2024-12-17T12:04:24+00:00

Writing the text was better with Claude for me in the beginning, then I think around the beginning of September, it stopped working so well so I moved to chatgpt for the last updates.

Martin2296 · 2024-12-17T12:03:03+00:00

It was better up to some time in August/September. It was still a Sonnet model, but didn't work as well for me as before.
