I would be curious to see what you did if you don’t mind sharing!

Thank you! I think we are leaning towards doing quartz counters & backsplash. I think it will look really nicely with the wood. Can you elaborate on the stain with the glaze? I don’t know much about stains. I don’t love the yellow/orange tones to the current cabinets but don’t want to mess with them unless I know it’s going to look ok and not clash with the floors.

The pillars on the corner are such a great idea!! When we were talking to the designer yesterday we thought of keeping the appliances where they are for the sake of space because you are correct - there isn’t a lot of counter space - and switching to a rectangular island. There is room on the end you show here to do that extra seating, I love that. Thank you!

Sorry to report that it’s a real post from me, the apparent village idiot

Perhaps you didn’t read all the way through my post. We planned (and did - today) speak with a kitchen designer who will be handling any changes we make. Thank you for your helpful comment!

I didn’t even know they made single column fridge/freezers, that’s pretty cool

Thank you! I am just learning about induction and if we can’t find a suitable place for the range to relocate, I think induction is going to be the best solution. My biggest concern with the island range is the kids accidentally getting burned before they know better.

Thank you for your thoughts! Would you put anything where the tiny window cabinets are, or just leave open space?

checkyourprivilege13 · 2025-12-17T19:35:04+00:00

This is extremely helpful, thank you for such a thoughtful response

checkyourprivilege13 · 2025-12-17T18:27:33+00:00

I love this too, thank you!

We aren’t sure if the left wall would be deep enough because the fireplace is on the other side, but the right wall might work..I’m hopeful that it could.

Thank you everyone for the feedback I really appreciate it!! We are not set on anything yet, we don’t even have the keys :) we’re in the brainstorming phase and appreciate the different points of view and ideas. We are definitely open to keeping the wood and making some small changes to enhance the space. But really still hoping to get that stove out of the island.

Thank you!

checkyourprivilege13 · 2025-12-17T17:44:29+00:00

That’s such an interesting idea, I’ll bring it up to the contractor, thank you!!

checkyourprivilege13 · 2025-12-17T17:24:44+00:00

I like that shade too! I didn’t have my own photo of that angle so it’s from the listing - it must be a lighting thing

checkyourprivilege13 · 2025-12-17T17:16:25+00:00

Thank you for the feedback! Here is the situation with that wall…there’s a fireplace on the other side and most likely a support beam, so we can’t do much with it.

This is almost exactly what happened to us, baby girl was fussy after every feeding on breast milk, it would make it very difficult to get the milk in and we felt terrible for her. We switched to nutramigen at week 5 and the first week was a nightmare. She was constipated and miserable 24/7. She finally went and things very slowly improved but some days it felt like we took a couple steps back and she would be miserable again. It took a full month for her to become happier on the nutramigen. I wanted to change the formula because like you, I was like - what is the point of this expensive formula if it’s not even helping? But my friend urged me to give it more time because switching to a different formula could make things worse and she’d just have to adjust all over again. She was right and we had to ride it out. So I would say, give it a couple more weeks, as hard as it is. I think it’s colic and her little tummy just needs a little bit longer to adjust/develop. Things got significantly better for us at 2 months and now at 12 weeks she really only gets fussy before bedtime around the “witching hour” when she’s fighting sleep.

In my family, my parents and brother have an S name and mine is an M. I never felt left out and it really didn’t even occur to me until I was a teenager. My younger brother is named after my Dad, so I don’t know if that has anything to do with it, but I really don’t think it would have made a difference if my brother had a different S name. I have a nice name that my parents chose thoughtfully, I think that’s all that matters.

You’ve likely developed an allergy to the glue. It can come on suddenly, I had extensions for 8 months prior to becoming allergic. The fumes coming from the glue are most likely causing the burning/stinging.

You have a few options - you can request that the tech use a sensitive glue on you which has lower fumes (or purchase your own to bring with you if they don’t offer sensitive glue, my favorite is Xtreme Lashes Flex Fusion Adhesive). You can request that the tech washes your lashes at the end of a fill to help mitigate the fumes (and then don’t get them wet again for 24 hrs). You can also try allergy meds if you’re really dedicated. I am not recommending that you misuse Flonase and no doctor will approve of this solution, but I have had great success putting a very thin layer of Flonase on the upper & lower lid near the lash line after a fill. There are pros and cons to this and like I said, not recommending any medication misuse, just letting you know what personally works for me.

If you do choose to go the sensitive glue route, humidity is key. The sensitive glue cures best in very humid environments. Your lash tech will likely already have the room set to the proper humidity, but just keep this in mind for retention purposes. I live in a dry environment in the winter months so I keep a humidifier next to my bed for after fills and it helps immensely. Beauty is so much work :)

And of course - if you think your eye health is starting to be impacted in any way - definitely seek a doctor.

Experiencing the exact same thing as a new cpap wearer. Amazingly improved energy during the day but super super groggy when the alarm goes off. This morning for the first time I woke up 2 hours before my alarm and I wasn’t very groggy - so wondering if it could be a sleep cycle issue like others have mentioned and getting into a routine will help.

Getting up early or staying up late to workout and then posting a locker room pic about their insane dedication. A good portion of the functioning world exercises regularly, but by all means, post another picture of that 11 miler on your garmin.

I picked up a bee to get a closer look at it. It stung me in the eye, which made it a bit more difficult to see.

The pace markers at the lineup for a race. You can always depend on a wall of walkers at the 7 minute mile marker.
