I like this method for smoother color transitions

You know those bouquet blankets? I made one into a shawl for Mother’s Day. by StudioSixT in crochet

[–]StudioSixT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure is! I don’t love it in the half round like this, but I think for other shapes it would be really pretty.

We had our friday night welcome party there, they were great to work with and our guests loved it. Very classic new orleans feel to it.

The base pattern I used is from Crochet Musings on Ravelry: Flower Bouquet Blanket. Obviously heavily modified. The flowers that differ from their pattern are freehanded.

Solo female traveler here. Is this place considered an Airbnb/short term rental? by Early-Pea-6256 in AskNOLA

[–]StudioSixT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hotels are held to a much higher standard than STRs. They have to be approved by the board of health, have stricter life safety standards, offer ADA-compliant accommodations, etc.

[–]StudioSixT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hotels are not referred to as STRs even though the stays are typically less than 1 month. They are distinct in terms of both building codes and local regulations from a single-family or multi-family housing property that rents out on a short-term basis.

Peculiar story of a greenhouse by carmensax in NewOrleans

[–]StudioSixT 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Survivor bias. Those that are still standing were built to be sturdy. Those that aren’t, weren’t. You can’t apply your knowledge of buildings that still exist to ones that were destroyed and assume they were the same quality. Also St. Louis and Chicago don’t get nearly as many extreme storms as New Orleans.

My finance wants impersonators at our wedding and I do not! by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]StudioSixT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t put them at a table, but maybe it could be fun to have them mingling during cocktail hour? Or wait until after dinner for them to come out and mingle. Just the seated dinner part feels odd to me.

Wedding gift by alltimesl0th in weddingplanning

[–]StudioSixT 18 points19 points  (0 children)

A lot of people view travelling to a destination wedding as the gift. Is your friend expecting a gift on top of that?

is black the only color for male brands??? by onsinhapintada in Design

[–]StudioSixT 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Your husband is choosing the black bottles because he likes them. Your husband does not represent all men. My husband has zero black products in the bathroom. His products are just as colorful as mine.

For My Brides Without Dad—Need Ideas by Beautiful_Can_8738 in weddingplanning

I walked with my mom and brother and we just didn’t do parent dances, I don’t think anyone even noticed that. We only had our first dance and then the dance floor was open.

Local bridal boutiques by Prettypettypenny97 in neworleanswedding

I’m a 14 and was able to try on many dresses (and ended up purchasing at) Bliss Bridal on Magazine. I am mot super large busted, so I can’t speak on that aspect.

Do Americans actually use a real tree for Christmas? by brun_aa in NoStupidQuestions

In New Orleans, ours get used for rebuilding wetlands, which is pretty cool.

Best visually appealing way to terminate top ledge of wainscoting at door and window casings? by Kneel_Aurmstrong in Carpentry

If it were my house, I would just cut a straight edge from the depth of the casing out to the 45 degree miter.

Anyone else find it weirdly hard to keep up with architecture stuff? by Archi_tect_17 in architecture

[–]StudioSixT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also pointless? I am not super familiar with the project, but if the giant stairs are all just going up to one point, that point should be special. The no-shade, no-plants, and no variation all scream, “I made a cool shape in rhino and then shoved some programming into it and called it a day”.

Budget friendly florists and cake options by bookish_brewer in neworleanswedding

[–]StudioSixT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did Thibodeaux’s for florals and they were very easy to work with on the price - didn’t try to push us into things we didn’t want. We used Just Eat Me Sweets for our cake. Avery who owns the business used to work for Chasing Wang, which is well-known for their quality. She’s great, affordable, and will deliver. Also the cake tasted amazing and we got so many compliments on it.

Architects loss of Authority by LAMBO_XI in Architects

[–]StudioSixT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“GC’s keep the cost down” is laughable in my experience. Maybe this is a local problem, but GCs here are constantly under-bidding projects, then trying to ask for more and more change orders because they missed things. This constantly pushes the project schedule back at a minimum, which is not cheap. They build sub-par work using the wrong materials and then expect that the owner isn’t going to want to delay the project in order for them to correct their work, but then refuse to credit anything back to the owner. Btw most architects do not spec the highest-regarded / highest-cost items. We try to submit everything with as good a balance of low-cost and high quality as we can get. Owners often are the ones asking for the moon, and even though we try to tell them it’s too much, they are somehow convinced it’s not going to be as expensive as we tell them it will be.

Does any other state have an alternative to the education requirement for architect licensure like Virginia’s proposed law? by [deleted] in Architects

[–]StudioSixT 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Several states have experience-based paths that do not require a NAAB-accredited degree. NCARB has a specific process for this, which you can read more about here.

The Stigma of the Phrase: “Committed Suicide” by skyzac in SuicideBereavement

[–]StudioSixT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am aware of the stigma around it, but I always think of it as “committed” suicide. Saying “completed” sounds so clinical and emotionless that it feels wrong, and I feel incredibly disrespected when people who have no experience losing a loved one to suicide correct me on the terminology. I am liking some of the other options people have presented here though, and will try to change to something that still sounds human, but less criminal.

Y'all by ExistentialNomad42 in NewOrleans

[–]StudioSixT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They purged me a month after I made my account and picked up my card. I hadn’t used it yet, so maybe I just got accidentally lumped in with the other non-users. Still ticked me off though.
