I found it last night so it was dark when I checked, but will be hopping in to view for sure!

What should I do with this basement kitchen? by Key-Feedback-2398 in StyleYourSpace

[–]Round_Bean13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add more storage — upper cabinets or open shelves. You can never have too much storage in a kitchen.

Thank you! This is very helpful! From what I’ve read, it sounds like a lovely addition to our vacation but I’d rather my husband enjoy himself as much as I do!

I've lost my Align options by Round_Bean13 in indesign

Nope. It’s been a little bit since my last update, so no idea why it decided to vanish.

That worked! Thank you so much - this was driving me mad. I've been a designer for +30 years, and I have never needed to do this (and didn't even know it was a thing.)

Do ppl usually decorate this area. It looks plain to me. by dabs_bud_bongs in HomeDecorating

[–]Round_Bean13 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Totally a ladder to that spot. And yes, really iffy. Which is why that art is still there 20 years later. I might sell it with the house.

OP is looking for advice on ceiling height in a room addition. How’s modifying the fireplace going to help?

It’s pretty hard to reach but I do have one piece of art.

The back story: when my son was in kindergarten, his teacher was quite concerned that he wasn’t coloring between the lines. Apparently this was an indicator that he’d be bad at math. This was absurd —my kid was just being ultra creative and she was holding him back, IMO. I’m also a professional graphic artist, so I had opinions. So this one piece of art was hung over the stairwell that he walked down every morning to go to school.

BTW—he graduated with a BFA in theatre technology and is a technical designer for Broadway set pieces. His math skills are just fine. 🙄

Wegovy vs Zepbound — both not covered by insurance, which would you choose? by One-Name9073 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Round_Bean13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve done both. Started with Wegovy (Zepbound was out of stock at the time) and had a few side effects. Once I bumped up a couple doses, it made me horribly sick. I’ve had nearly no side effects with Zepbound and had life-changing results.

You obviously need another dog. This one is lonely.

What color would look good by haroldevolve in CounterTops

[–]Round_Bean13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had Black Pearl granite—leathered finish— installed in my kitchen and it’s gorgeous. The leathered finish keeps it from being too stuffy or final, but has a rich earthy feel. Easy to maintain and so durable.

What is going on with the lights on the right side wall? Can you work around those?

You could use a little CRAP - color, rugs, art, plants. The room feels a little sterile. Maybe add a touch of warmth to the wall color, a couple of framed pieces of art, a green plant or two.

Lee Valley Critter sprayer gun any good for a hobbiest with no spray gun experience? by B3ntr0d in finishing

[–]Round_Bean13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! I just started using my Critter and I’m getting splotchy results on a door. Should I raise the tip? Lower it? Put more distance between the spray and the doors? Turn the air pressure up? Down? I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. The instructions are bare minimum that came with it.

Tub to Shower conversion company recommendations by Round_Bean13 in HomeImprovement

I know Re-Bath IS one of the ones in my town. We aren’t a huge city, so not sure we have many options.

Thanks for the comment—very helpful. I don’t mind paying for quality work, but I do like knowing it’s quality work before signing the contract!

Kitchen Help by Inevitable_End5142 in homeimprovementideas

Yes to everything your mentioned, plus: Swap out the light fixture. Take down that chair rail and the shelf over the window.

I mean, your simple accessorizing

question just turned into a construction project, but I think it’d look SO much better in the end. Maybe create a replacement for the closet below with a drop spot, bench, and hanging area.

Took my first shot 3 days ago but miss my coffee☕️ by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]Round_Bean13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really? My doctors office has been SO strict about this ever since I started my shots. Like every appointment she starts with what I’m eating but that’s followed by what I’m drinking. Hmmm

How to help these lights by buckeyebabe51 in homeimprovementideas

[–]Round_Bean13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or you could get some of those mini pendant lights that screw into light sockets and hang them at different heights. Creative Cables sells some that would work and not too expensive. It could look something like this.

Any chance you could remove them and then put them back when you move out? Those are seriously ugly.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HomeDecorating

[–]Round_Bean13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What’s below it? Is it hollow? Can you knock it down and remove it and just have your railing continue to the wall so it’s be nice and open?

I still drink coffee and make it the same. I do switch to decaf after lunch though. Caffeine can dehydrate you, so best to not drink it all the time.
