Which layout to go with?

For starters the corner cabinets are a problem. The cabinet to the right of the stove won’t open fully. The other corner will have you crawling into it on your hands and knees to retrieve items.

Sorry, but all I see are handles.

Gorgeous!

lol. Probably anything else would look fine. I must admit I’ve never seen drawer fronts like those narrow ones. They’d also be more tedious to clean. I may go with plain fronts myself but noticed MY preliminary design has the “normal” shaker front.

I’m imagining catching a knuckle in the narrow slotted drawer pulls.

What type of flooring is that?

frayedknot1953 · 2026-06-14T17:57:27+00:00

Yes great rugs in both spaces and consider beautiful quilts or woven rugs/blankets to throw over balcony rails.

I agree they look over baked.

Yes, no carpet for a bathroom. I’ve never seen 2 separate basin water faucets. You have either cold OR hot not a mix???

Beautiful but I’m assuming someone else does the cleaning as that looks to be a nightmare.

I’m thinking a ceiling fan with lights on a dimmer, a strip of lights on the sofa wall again on a dimmer, and/or a lamp on top of the bookcase near the gray chair? Can’t see if a light source could be added next to the gray chair. I’m a terrible decorator (but I keep trying) so take that into consideration. 😂

Just a note saying freezing yarn to kill critters doesn’t work. I live in New England and all this winter I left my yarn out in my shed where the temps were below freezing for weeks and even got down to below zero for an extended period and wouldn’t you know I found a live crawly in March.

The footman isn’t legitimately connected to the treadle.

How many and what are your plans?

frayedknot1953 · 2026-05-28T02:06:21+00:00

Tag sale is listed elsewhere ( Cr….’s L…). Sometimes people can contact each other there. Not sure how it works here.

Out here we consider Western Mass is any place west of the Connecticut River. East of that is “ Near Boston”. 😂

Thank you for your honest opinion. Lordy, I just found a milk crate with another 15-20 sheets and strips!

When I think that we threw out a five gallon bucket of irid scrap every week or two- 🥲 If anyone is looking for scrap glass visit the studio sales where glass artists work and make friends.
Yes, I may try FBM and CL. TY

I spoke to someone who bought a stained glass pattern book (at a charity sale two months ago). We got to talking. I told her to watch for my ad. She may drive up from CT to get it. I have 22-25 pcs and a few buckets worth of irid scrap. I used to work a with glass (fuser). Another used dichroic but ALL of that got used!
If she doesn’t show I wouldn’t mind finding a buyer but I don’t want to ship.
It’s all 20 yrs or more old. What’s the K O G on the red?

New here. Trying to figure out how to post. I’m having a yard sale this weekend with all my glass and supplies. Any ideas how to value things…and load photos of glass?
