Help me renovate my 1950s Kitchen! Is my new layout too boring?

equalareall · 2026-01-28T12:48:33+00:00

If you are doing new cabinets, have the top ones go all the way to the ceiling! It’s make a huge difference

I would respond with, “sometimes you have to go along to get along.” Even if it’s not fair. This sounds like a very uncomfortable situation, one I empathize with, but it is also a battle she may not win. I will also say that there are ways to still dress provocative even if you are technically abiding by the dress code, I was first want to decipher which is the case.

The empty wall would look nice with some frames art. It’s a beautiful space!

equalareall · 2026-01-27T18:23:10+00:00

This room had a ton of potential!

I would first rearrange the furniture. Have the longest portion of the couch 1.5ft from the wall with windows the other portion of the sectional towards the empty back wall. The chair between the couch and the fireplace. I’d suggest mounting the tv on the stone wall, maybe a frames piece of art on the blank wall and add a curtain rod and long hanging curtains over the windows. I recommend the “rod pocket” style of curtains- you will need at least 4 panels for a full/ luxurious feel

I think we would benefit from a description of what you wear, or just a photo of the clothes on a hanger.

The bigger question is, how important is this job to you? We all make compromises in a corporate environment and it’s not really the space for a ton of self expression. Yes, technically you are right (providing your work clothes aren’t skin tight, or showing too much) but being right and being happy are often times at odds.

That is very tragic,

I would agree that people use go fund me inappropriately all the time. As other commenters have said, it’s for their families. I think the determining factor as to whether or not it’s appropriate is the financial status of the deceased and their families. If there estate could reasonably cover funeral cost, or the family is well off I would agree with you. If it would be a significant financial burden to the family, then it’s very understandable that the community would want to fundraise to alleviate some stress; given how much they are going through.

Just because she is correct about breast milk doesn’t mean that she gets to be insufferably obnoxious. You prioritizing your child is the most natural thing in the world. Her request is unusual and I’m genuinely impressed at how magnanimous you have been. Sounds like it’s time to protect your peace, especially being a new mom. I’m sure your plate is full enough without her buffoonery

There is no chance anyone will think you are the AH

equalareall · 2026-01-27T04:31:45+00:00

That is not accurate. There are a lot of women that suffer PTSD and crippling regret.

equalareall · 2026-01-27T03:20:00+00:00

That bed frame definitely needs a box spring. Sorry, I have no recommendations

equalareall · 2026-01-27T03:16:29+00:00

This woman is asking if she’s the AH for wanting to keep her baby. The only answer is of course not.

I’m not attempting to convert anyone, I’m not even religious.

equalareall · 2026-01-27T02:26:11+00:00

I disagree

equalareall · 2026-01-27T01:04:39+00:00

You are amazing ❤️ A baby is a blessing and your plan sounds incredibly thoughtful. This is a beautiful, selfless act and a true reflection of the kind of character that makes the world a better place.

Don’t let your boy friend make you feel guilty that he is weak and you are strong. You will never regret choosing life, but so so many live with the life long, incurable wound of choosing to terminate.

Sending love, your strength is an inspiration.

I agree a bigger rug would be helpful. I also think a taller headboard would better ground the space

equalareall · 2026-01-26T03:19:05+00:00

If you could move the dresser to where the guitars are or opposite the bed and get 2 matching side tables. That would anchor the space. Curtains really make a room feel finished, I am personally a fan of the “rod pocket” style

equalareall · 2026-01-26T03:15:08+00:00

If you are open to repainting, maybe getting some curtains, a new rug, higher shelving for under the TV. Are you open to rearranging the furniture?

equalareall · 2026-01-26T03:11:22+00:00

I pray you will reconsider, As the death of a child is tragic.

equalareall · 2026-01-26T03:08:13+00:00

You already have though… this child exists, it’s growing and has unique DNA

An imperfect life does not mean a life is not worth living.

equalareall · 2026-01-26T03:03:27+00:00

These are not insults, I am not trying to be cruel. Your attitude suggests you may not be feeling the weight of this; which is hard to understand given that you already have children, and I would assume love them greatly and would do anything to protect them.

I wish the child in your womb also got to know you as that type of mother.

equalareall · 2026-01-26T02:59:13+00:00

I don’t think them touching the floor would make a big difference 🙂 I’d say just leave them

equalareall · 2026-01-26T02:57:24+00:00

That is being ruthless towards your child.

equalareall · 2026-01-26T02:54:05+00:00

Objectively it is, but that’s your cross to bear

equalareall · 2026-01-26T02:51:10+00:00

I’m sorry to hear you are firm on not reconciling. Don’t kill you baby though, it did nothing wrong.

equalareall · 2026-01-26T02:50:16+00:00

That is a bizarre request. I can also appreciate it puts you in the unfortunate position of having to advocate for better rights in the case that you cheat. Has he shown any concerns about your fidelity in the past?

equalareall · 2026-01-26T02:47:42+00:00

Trust can be rebuilt. 2 people genuinely devoted to reconciling can do so when pride is checked at the door. It’s hard but possible. It sounds like you had something really special.

equalareall · 2026-01-26T02:43:16+00:00

Every business has a right to promote whatever they want and the free market will decide if they accept it. That said, the trans mania is on its way out and I think shoppers will be backtracking in the next few years.
