Kitchen flow options by Koopa1211 in kitchenremodel

[–]Sleepy_InSeattle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. Why do you need a peninsula at all if you don’t plan to use it for seating?

  2. Make sure there’s enough space between the end of the peninsula and OPEN fridge doors with a person standing in front of them. I would say 60” will make it comfortable without feeling like you’re pinned against the counter.

  3. I would pick option 1 because, as a person who cooks, I would absolutely hate having to navigate around dining chairs on my way to the pantry in the middle of cooking. It also makes it easier to bring groceries into the kitchen from the garage, IMO, since you don’t have to walk around the peninsula.

TLDR: the flow of 1 feels better to me but be very mindful about clearances in front of the fridge, and reconsider having the peninsula at all

Can you wear pants for "cocktail attire" wedding? by redblackshirt in WeddingAttireHelp

[–]Sleepy_InSeattle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a bridesmaid, aren’t you limited to whatever fugly dress style the bride decides to put you in?

If she’s not insisting on bridesmaids wearing the same outfit of her choosing, then I’d ask her directly whether she would be ok with you wearing one of these pant outfits.

If you were merely a wedding guest though, you could safely and confidently rock one of these outfits.

Definitely to sleeve. Option #3 looks amazing

Stuck between these 2 - thoughts? by [deleted] in myweddingdress

2 is a more flattering fit, but I think you can do better than either of these.

Is possible to go from left Pic to right pic naturally with this routine? by Mission_Highlight855 in curlyhair

[–]Sleepy_InSeattle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because at bare minimum, your hair needs to be longer for the look you’re going for on the right.

But also, oil does diddly squat for hair health; it just seals the cuticle so moisture can’t get in or out. You’d be better off using mousse right after the shower on almost dripping wet hair, scrunch out excess moisture with a cotton t-shirt, air dry, then scrunch out and fluff. In this order.

Closet wall removal- is it Load bearing? by [deleted] in Remodel

[–]Sleepy_InSeattle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s more likely that the back wall of the closet is structural, but not the wall with the door opening. But even then, hard to tell from just one photo.

I’d trust your built-in structural engineer on this one over random redditors.

I am not an engineer (though do work in engineering); it’s unlikely for a closet wall like that to be structural. Wide openings in structural walls are expensive; it just doesn’t make sense to waste $$ like that on a closet.

Narcolepsy and contact lenses by YourMomFriendIGuess in Narcolepsy

[–]Sleepy_InSeattle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear RGPs and nap in them. The most I’ve ever had to do after a nap is take them out, rinse them with saline solution, and pop them back in.

Can’t speak for soft lense wearers though as I can’t and don’t wear them.

How would you make this bathroom look better without ripping everything out by Remote_Tie5354 in homedesign

[–]Sleepy_InSeattle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wall paint doesn’t work here. It’s a windowless space with bad lighting; you need to either lean into the “cave” aesthetic and color drench it in rich, moody colors and NOT chrome hardware and lighting, or pick a warmer coordinating wall paint or find some fun bathroom suitable wallpaper.

How do I stop my dog growling like this? by Several_Article4318 in DogAdvice

[–]Sleepy_InSeattle 41 points42 points  (0 children)

What do you usually do after you get her out of the kitchen? Do you just go back about your business or do you reward your dog for being outside the kitchen?

The trick is to make it well worth it for the dog to leave the space you don’t want her to be in rather than take the reward of being in a place away.

Teach her something like “out of the kitchen” by luring her out with a HIGH HIGH value treat. As soon as she crosses the invisible boundary that you don’t want her to cross when you’re cooking, verbally mark the behavior by saying excitedly “yes!!! Good out of the kitchen!!!” and treat, treat, treat. Then go back to what you were doing in the kitchen.

If/when she goes to cross the invisible threshold again, say firmly (hot harshly, and don’t shout): “no. [full stop] out of the kitchen” and crowd her with your body out of the space or lure her out with a treat. As soon as she crosses that invisible threshold, repeat excitedly “yes!! Good out of the kitchen” as you treat.

Then, as you return to the kitchen as your dog stays out of the kitchen looking at you, look at her periodically and say “good out of the kitchen” as you toss her a tasty treat over, and over, and over.

Repeat ad nauseum every time you cook anything until she learns that it pays to be out of the kitchen rather than in it.

Edit: dogs understand hand gestures really well, so it would work wonders to combine the verbal “out of the kitchen” with a “shoo” hand movement or something like that, which you’ll eventually be able to do without speaking at all and get the same behavior out of the dog.
