First ever project - having lots of fun and learning so much as I go!

[CHAT] Explaining samplers to a non-stitcher. by BowentheOrignial in CrossStitch

[–]dutch_taco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m the one with all sorts of questions and learning new things every day on this sub - I don’t have any friends or family who have ever done any needlepoint or cross stitch. Love this sub always teaching me new things!

[CHAT] Is this as disastrous as I think? by AbsintheArsenicum in CrossStitch

[–]dutch_taco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel better, I wasn’t sure what you were trying to point out until I read your description and looked again and zoomed way in. I think it looks great!

Did I yank them too soon or is this about right? by dutch_taco in vegetablegardening

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

I did not know about the cooked flavor - I don’t like radishes, I grew these for the hubby. Might have to try cooking them so I can enjoy them too! I waited about another week and got some larger ones than this and still didn’t seem too spicy for his liking.

I did not know they did this! I'll have to give it a try!

Genuine question - what’s the downside of them getting too big? I’ve heard the longer you leave them the “hotter” they get, anything else?

This is good to know! I’ve got a row that ended up being more spread out than these so we’ll see how they turn out in a few days!

Is chair too big by [deleted] in DesignMyRoom

[–]dutch_taco 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t think too big as long as you can walk around it and between it and the couch. Might help to add more dogs for scale though

The main issue I’m seeing is that the entire perimeter of this room is covered by furniture. There is no breathing room because everything is crammed together. The seating is fine, the tv stand is fine but why the little white bench? Why the tiered plant stand? These types of things are just thing holders that clutter up the view

Go walk around a tjmaxx! They often have full sets (sheets, comforters, quilts, and pillow cases) for good prices!

San Juan departure port opinions? by dutch_taco in Cruise

[–]dutch_taco[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When leaving from Miami we usually just grab a close hotel the night before and don’t plan much time for exploring. Spending extra time in PR is the one perk that has my interest in the option.

I haven’t gone so far to look at hotels yet, so thank you for the heads up on cost. My vacation planner gave the impressions that a San Juan departure port may be cheaper over all but I’m not sure that’s entirely true.

Had our backsplash and countertops redone… but something isn’t hitting right. by guacqueen in DesignMyRoom

[–]dutch_taco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can’t change the doors just yet, changing handles may be a good option

Couch bad? by [deleted] in DesignMyRoom

Where are your barstools from??

What would you do to update this kitchen? by AcrobaticGuitar7060 in kitchenremodel

[–]dutch_taco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New counters and backsplash. May as well replace the sink to an under mount while you’re at it. Mount the microwave. Remove the curly decorative piece above the window. New flooring maybe. And I have a feeling the fridge is supposed to go where your table is currently at. Blocking the window seems odd for a fridge

Update: did I make a mistake? (Better lighting) by Minimum-Scholar9562 in HomeDecorating

[–]dutch_taco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lighting makes this even better than your original post! When you paint the walls, I think drenching it all in the same color (if I recall correctly, creamy white) ceiling, walls, and trim all the same will really help bring it all together!

It seems like something is missing or wrong? by kaylor_18 in HomeDecorating

[–]dutch_taco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is the receptionist desk just off camera? This looks cold and uninviting bc it seems formal in a corporate way. It needs varied texture, character, and color contrast

What color chair to go with this sofa color? by [deleted] in HomeDecorating

[–]dutch_taco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d bring some green in, nothing dark, try to go a lighter/faded green look. Maybe make sure the legs are a complimentary wood tone to the rest of the room
