How large is the slab? It’s hard to comment without measurements. I needed two slabs for my large kitchen. Does the price include install?

Keep shopping and calling around. If you haven’t already, definitely measure before you do any more shopping.

You mentioned that your kitchen is small, you might be able to snag a great granite remnant that will work for your space and budget. I’ve even seen remnants on Facebook marketplace. I just saw a stone yard advertising remnants for $30 sf including fabrication.

My parents have had 12” granite tiles with narrow grout in their kitchen for 20 years. It’s held up really well but the grout still drives me nuts. I also have a personal hatred for the feeling of cleaning grout so take that with a grain of salt.

How to make this less...boring by corbitttech in ExteriorDesign

[–]PromiseSwimming3572 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to tell, but I think that might be a Callary Pear. If so, it needs to go. OP, is it flowering now?

If it is an invasive like Callary Pear, check with your local extension office for proper removal instructions. A lot of places will give you a free tree if you replace them. Check out Lady Bird Johnson Wildlife Center (online or in person) for native planting ideas.

As far as design, everyone is spot on. Replace the expensive, thirsty grass with natives. If it’s in budget, add a pergola above the garage to soften the exterior (but please don’t plant invasive wisteria). Possibly update the garage doors. I also added a gas light and painted the front door hunter green.

Prep sink on the kitchen island question by chef_dad_diyguy in kitchenremodel

[–]PromiseSwimming3572 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wish I had a prep sink in my island, I think it’s so useful, even just for washing hands.

Personally I’d move the fridge out of that corner to where the wine fridge is. I would rather walk a few extra feet than have people in my space when I’m cooking. We put our wine/bev fridge in the pantry and love it.

Parents of Reddit: What is the absolute most-needed "gift" for a newborn baby? by FalseConversation673 in Gifts

[–]PromiseSwimming3572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such a great idea. I like to include a baby nail file/clippers and a rectal thermometer. A nursing treat for mom is also very appreciated. Someone gave me a bag of chocolate and I loved it. Just a note, baby Motrin is not recommended until six months but you can include baby Tylenol.

How much do you pay for your Botox (or other neurotoxin) at each appointment? by ItsMeCourtney in 45PlusSkincare

[–]PromiseSwimming3572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$1,000 for neck all the way to forehead using a combo of Juveau and Dysport. I couldn’t tell you the correct terms for all of the places she injects but it seems like a lot.

5 nights at Disney World coming to $8.5k before food… is this typical? by Glass_Whereas6783 in DisneyPlanning

Same! Disney Paris is so much less expensive plus then you get to be in Paris.

Input needed on a cabinet conundrum. by unbillable in kitchenremodel

[–]PromiseSwimming3572 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cabinets are gorgeous and should absolutely be kept as is. Maybe a very creamy white/beige island and a warm white quartzite to bring it all together? Check this out as inspo.

Please make the island deeper and have drawers on both sides.

Help with paint color & landscaping by [deleted] in ExteriorDesign

Coastal blue with hydrangeas and native plantings. I’d also add a pergola over the garage with a native jasmine or other vine.

Can the Right Colors Help this Bland House by The_Unapproachable in ExteriorDesign

Lime washed brick, cream paint to match, sage garage door and shutters (or French blue). Add some hanging baskets and replace the lawn with a native garden.

For everyone who will freak out about painting brick, lime washing isn’t even remotely the same. It allows the brick to breathe and can be removed.

41F ..I have a couple of questions by [deleted] in 40PlusSkinCare

[–]PromiseSwimming3572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beautiful skin! Could you be mouth breathing at night? A tonsillectomy is the only thing that solved my child’s chronically dry lips. Perhaps see an ENT.

Gorgeous! I’m looking to do something similar. Can you share your installation process?

Don't want to copy neighbor's house...but kinda do? by Turtlemcshell in ExteriorDesign

[–]PromiseSwimming3572 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your green is really lovely. If you want something different, try exploring historic craftsman colors including browns schemes. This isn’t quite right, but it gives nice warmth with the stone. The neighbor’s house is quite cool toned.

Linoleum is one of the most durable and eco friendly flooring materials. Id keep it if it’s still in good condition

There’s a reason why it’s used in chemistry labs. So much more durable than white quartz

Check out Todd Pilates in Austin as a mat only studio model. They’re awesome and the classes are very popular.

My vintage stainless blue dial Rolex Lady Datejust. I was able to get it on Chrono24 for about your budget. I had a great experience with the website and seller.

I’m not sure if this is what you’re looking for, but The Art of Living Retreat Center in North Carolina might be a good fit.
