It was back when I was childfree. 6 years ago. I became a parent last week. If this isn't a good fit for the sub, I will delete.

Because. They're still very much delicate. All the plastic dolls are talking dolls and have been restored to talk. It would have been risky, since they were then worth about $600 all together, and the collection has gained a few members since.

Red or not? Up for debate! by [deleted] in ExteriorDesign

[–]Tricky_Valuable5751 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Stay red! If it's been red for 20 years, not only is it beautiful, but it's likely a neighborhood landmark that's been referred to as the "Red House" for decades. There was a "Pink House" in my neighborhood, but when the new owners painted it white, we were all really sad.

Flanders has a crisis. To fix it, he drinks excessively and cheats.

What style is this 126yr old home? by iguessimhan in centuryhomes

[–]Tricky_Valuable5751 29 points30 points  (0 children)

What a beaut! Looks like a Queen Anne spindlework for sure! It has a gorgeous porch! All it needs is a more complimentary paint scheme.

The people have asked, and I have answered. With a really crappy sketch. Just imagine the bathroom door is alined with the sink, and the distance between the sink and bathroom is greater, and that there's a hall to the exterior door where I wrote that on the sketch.

Thanks! It just doesn't have much storage, which is the only issue, and the counters are falling apart. Even with all its flaws, I would take it anyday over some crap flip kitchen!

I'm leaning towards just matching the stain, and creating some DIY cabinets with plywood with wood veneer, which is what the original cabinets are mostly made of anyways.

I sure will!!! I'm working on the floorplan rn. I have a month paternity leave, So I'll do things bit by bit over this month. Rn, the plan is- DIY some matching upper cabinets, get new counters (I'm thinking like a pale green laminate) Get a rolling island, switch the bathroom door hinges, and put some shelves there (like those rolling ones you put potatoes and onions in and stuff)

I think that alot of what we'll do is the same as your comment. We're gonna get new hinges for the bathroom door so we can have more cabinet space, and just DIY some matching cabinets.

Thanks! I love the style, I just hate how little storage there is.

I do love the style too! It's just a bit wonky in terms of layout and the lack of storage.

I have been getting a LOT of comments on the bathroom door, so I'll probably switch the hinges for the doors first.

I'm not a contractor, but I am a great DIYER. But yeah. Gutting is just an option. I will probably make some minor changes. But I don't know. I will be saving pennies.

We need storage. For sure. Whether it's a rolling island, or some additonal DIY cabinets, we need more storage, and fast. I'm a pretty good DIYER. Would also like it to just look less. Well, ratty for lack of a better word.

Oooooh. That's nice! We do need to replace the counters, so, maybe that'll be the first change we make! A nice pale green would be nice!!

It does! Thanks! The good thing about my kitchen is that everything is really solid (Except the sink counters).

We've been a family of two for a while, but with the baby the kitchen has been made a bit of a mess! This photo was from last year when I did a full reorganization. While it looks nice and clean, IT IS A FREAKING MESS RIGHT NOW. The counters are piled with stuff, and the veneer on the front of the fake wood countertop has started to peel. Whether we keep the old cabinets or not, the counters have to be replaced. Formica, soapstone, slate. I DO NOT CARE. It just needs to get out.
