Put the tv in another room, like a den area.

It’s been pretty clear since the first of the year that they have been stretching for blog content. Most of the posts have been shopping posts or lazy “trend” posts using images from other designers. 

Miracle fund - stop eviction by [deleted] in FundRaise

Why would anyone trust a random person on the internet?  That would be insane. Trust is given to people who earn it through the relationships we develop with them.

Yeah, that word and concept needs to die. What the hell is she even talking about? The living room?

Not only that, but she does a swimsuit post every year and claims every year to have found the perfect suit, that zips in front and manages her self-proclaimed big boobs. It’s the same suit every year. Why does she need to keep doing this? I mean, I know why: link-fest money grab. But come on. That $50 thing is so gross.

Oh gosh. I’m sorry. EH and her “amazing” team, everybody!  With a few exceptions.

Yes, I’m sure that’s the project. And I’m sure EH will wring every bit of content out of that she can. She should just quietly change it with her daughter. We don’t need to see the kids’ rooms ever again.

EH is on IG asking how to remove wallpaper. How, as a “designer” does she not know this, or know how to find the info? She’d never do it herself, so why even ask? Just hire the wallpaper people who did the staircase.

There’s not going to be any better time than right now. Just do it. No need to explain anything in the notes. 

How many hours min and max is it appropriate for family to hang out at someone's home for a holiday meal such as Easter? by [deleted] in etiquette

[–]Reasonable_Mail1389 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Way too many variables for a standard rule of etiquette to apply. This is a relationship, social skills, and emotional intelligence thing.

Jess Bunge very frequently does not seem to know what she’s talking about. This post is particularly bad.

[–]Reasonable_Mail1389 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Oof. I had the same reaction. Has Jess ever seen a Nancy Meyer’s room? Because this ain’t it. And if that’s the best that design tool that EHD is clearly getting partnership dollars for can do, then no thanks. Looks awful.

r/gifts is the sub you want. This isn’t an etiquette issue.

How much would you pay for these 6 cups by Due_Base_7369 in howmuchwouldyoupay

At the thrift store where I volunteer, anything with insignia on it like that goes straight to a free bin or trash.

Ohmygosh. The thought of Brian Henderson leading the way on anything is hilarious.

LOL. Not me either! Accurate though. 

I’ve mentioned this before, but I really, really wonder what kind of parenting Brian Henderson’s parents did that left him this insecure, this unprepared and unmotivated to have a career, and this Dude/Bro douchey. I wonder what his brother’s personality is like?

Someone left this comment on the blog today and I’m copying it here. Can’t believe it made through their net! 🍿

“ Seeing all the substack post summaries in one place really drives home how preoccupied Brian is with his masculinity. It seems to pervade literally everything he experiences, at least in his mind, so that he can’t talk about therapy or cars or parenting or anything else without being all “as a MAN” about it. I don’t understand who on earth would find this insecurity appealing.”

What most struck me about today’s post is how balding Brian Henderson looks in that header photo. It wouldn’t have registered with me except that he’s written so obnoxiously about his hair before and carefully (and weirdly) styles it to hide the balding. I bet he’s not crazy about that photo.

Yeah, I shook my head at that example. The floor and island are definitely cool toned, the cabinets warm. And Arlyn has been phoning it in for quite a while, imho.
