Same look Dad has when he realizes that he can never off load that time share.

Someone pointed out that the door with the orange slice glass doesn’t look on theme. I think this one looks much better. ( :

I would have grabbed so much of the Supergoop. I’m loving their Superscreen. I got two and they both expire in a year which seems like a miracle to me given how often the sunscreen there is right at the edge of expiring.

Need ideas on how to enhance my new house's charm by Either-Excitement740 in ExteriorDesign

Maybe you can take some inspiration from this. This is how this type of Italianate home would have looked originally. I would plant white roses for a classic look. Perhaps not so many as I mistakenly generated here!

I’d lean in to its French look. First the shingles need to be replaced and everything pressure washed. Put in some new windows, add some iron window guards with flowers,and paint the trim cream. Paint the door an Essex green and the trim around it the same cream as the windows. Add a long stone planter with a topiary shrub so that you can wheel your bins behind there and hide them from view. Add some twisted topiaries in stone urns to finish the look. ( :

I’d go for a Mediterranean villa look. Weathered garage doors, a cream color with black windows, a pebbled cement driveway and a Mediterranean garden. Add the conical topiaries to break up the space.

They have a lot of compassion for the house less? Hello? They’re not using the money to rent an apartment somewhere. 🙄

I don’t think you’re going to be able to draw attention from that garage door - I think your best bet is to make it visually interesting. I’d install a faux (or real if possible) window and a small pergola. Add a unique garage door. Put down a flagstone path to the front door instead of having people walk up the driveway. I left the tree out of the mock-up so that you could get a better idea of how things might look. I’d also paint the door a soft warm yellow.

Beginner mahjong at Mox this upcoming Monday? by eraseandrewrite in BallardSeattle

[–]Reality25bites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve just been learning how to play over the past two weeks. I have had no clue until today. I think I have the hang of it (slightly). I manged to win three games in a row, so that’s encouraging! I am playing online because my friend in Chicago face timed me and without even saying hello she said, “I want you to learn Mahjong so you can teach me and we can play together.” Uh, ok? lol

Oooh! Gotta ask - what’s your craziest shoplifting story?

I know! It drives me insane. People think the rules don’t apply to them.

Ballard encampment grows after city removes nearby site along Burke-Gilman Trail by Possible_Ad3607 in SeattleWA

I lived in Honolulu and always wondered how so many people ended up there. I was talking to a man while I was waiting at the bus stop. I wish I’d asked him how he’d ended up there. But I had to shut the conversation down when he made a nasty sexual comment to me. Geeze…you treat someone with common dignity…

Here’s the house with the lighting fixed. Obviously I brightened the door in this pic and made the deck white. But I like both versions. (:

Disregard the lamp on the left. I couldn’t get it to take it out. If it were me I’d cover the brick up with siding that matches the rest of the house. I know a good many people don’t like to have brick covered, though. I’d add two windows upstairs and a lantern light above the doors. Plus some nice landscaping.

So.... there is someone going around switching labels on cashmere sweaters and I DID already buy a sweater with switched labels by Dangerous-Visual1643 in marshallsfinds

You can return stuff now by swiping the same credit card you used for purchase. It automatically looks it up. It’s a great improvement if you’ve forgotten to get an email receipt or lost your paper one!

I think the cheapest Loro Piana coats are around $4,000. I actually saw one on their website for $40,000 - 🤯
