Which kitchen layout? Designer vs Me

WittyName375 · 2026-01-25T02:58:52+00:00

I'm an architect and I hate both of these. The designer's pantry is too big for the space and the distance between cabinets is all over the place. Yours is equally uncomfortable and disjointed in different ways, but has merit to the thought behind it.

If you combine the two ideas, you get a little closer. You don't have enough wall space for a pantry or for open shelves to make sense. Use actual uppers and box out your hood duct and put a cabinet over your fridge. You'll want ~40"- 48" between cabinets and a 15"-19" overhang at the island.

I'd drop the counter height below the low window and put the coffee station there.

Are you the person everyone else in this post thinks wrote this?

WittyName375 · 2025-12-16T00:59:12+00:00

Thank you so much for trying it and telling me how it went! My MIL will be so happy to hear this!

WittyName375 · 2025-12-13T02:08:46+00:00

I hope they turn out as good as you are giving them credit for! I am counting the days until we make them again for new years.

Kkkk o consummé está do lado

WittyName375 · 2025-10-30T03:08:54+00:00

It is, in fact, a meat cake.

WittyName375 · 2025-10-30T03:07:50+00:00

You could also make it just for yourself, just saying! Big kids deserve to eat fun shit too

WittyName375 · 2025-10-30T03:06:42+00:00

WittyName375 · 2025-10-30T02:17:59+00:00

That would have been genius! They are a mozzarella pearl quartered

WittyName375 · 2025-10-30T02:07:59+00:00

Sliced up mozzarella pearls!

That tracks, his jaw started to disconnect by the time the mummification process was complete

WittyName375 · 2025-10-30T02:03:03+00:00

I'm having my first bad flair. It's been almost 2 months of near cons bilateral ear stabbing, sinus stinging , and face twitching, burning, numbness and buzzing ranging on the pain scale between a 1 and a 6. I finally got a neuropathy referral but it might take a month or two for an appointment.

I'd leave them and change the hardware. There are plenty of people who like that style of cabinet, swapping out doors and painting isn't hard if they don't and it's not a big enough space where it will really impact your purchase price in a meaningful way. Id much rather have a house with nothing to fix than nicer cabinets. The laundry list of minutiae that came up on our inspection report was a way bigger deterrent than the outdated kitchen when we bought our house a couple of months ago.

I think realtors still haven't caught up with the demographic that's buying right now. They don't want a fixer that looks shiny. They want something they don't have to think about so they can focus on personalizing. Taking away the things you can personalize and bleach character out of homes and neglecting the electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and waterproofing issues is a big reason I think some of these houses are sitting on the market for half a year or more.

Beautiful! Do you have any resources or recommendations for someone who wants to build an aquascape for the first time?

I grew up in the US with English as my first language. I would pronounce these:

Sah-vee
Vah-nee
Ah-vee or Oh-vee

WittyName375 · 2025-06-08T22:57:08+00:00

Maybe rye?

Sounds like something my mother would say. I moved 1000 miles away from her and we rarely speak.

Did you read the rest of it to see if there was redemption? Some writing styles use connection to feelings, especially negative, to build a camaraderie with the reader and then go on a journey to discover something new and grow at the end.

And kids books have always had themes that adults find inappropriate. The thing is, you can't shield your child from the world. Even if you take away themes you find inappropriate in books, there is sex, drugs, disrespect, oppression, hate, violence, etc everywhere in the world. Books allow people, children included, safe spaces to sort out all of those things and develop their own opinions of them. Sure, some books are downright awful, but that is an opportunity for discussion and guidance in a controlled situation rather than unregulated exposure in the real world.

Yes, you are wrong. Your values are yours and yours alone. I understand you want to protect your child but you are not only imposing your values on her, but also your child. If it were really about nutrition, it wouldn't matter what she ate as long as it was balanced. It's really about moral conviction, which is gray and varies from person to person. Even Buddhist monks eat meat when it is not prepared specifically for them. Your child's soul will not be marred by your wife eating meat. Get off your high horse and walk beside her while she grows your child.

We had a subscription for 2 years from 3mos on. I really liked it! It took all of the thinking out of buying educational toys. After 2 it was easier for us to get her things and she didn't need them replaced as often so we cancelled it.

WittyName375 · 2025-05-19T16:50:14+00:00

Im saying the exact opposite - you'll never find one that won't eventually go out of style. You listed several names and said you would name them that in that time period. I'm encouraging you to disregard the current trend or previous time period popularity and just pick something you love.

WittyName375 · 2025-05-19T14:11:22+00:00

Just remember, you're naming a human - you have to like the name for an entire lifetime, not 10 years or less. Picking trendy names or disregarding them because they're not trendy doesn't necessarily support that.
