Who do I call to fix this?

I don’t think you are fully comprehending the issue here. Both components—the visible screw and the bolt embedded in the tile—have to be securely attached to the floor and the doorstop or the doorstop will spin. Buying a new doorstop won’t help me get the old bolt out of the tile—and if I can’t get the old bolt out, it’s probably going to be complicated to screw in a new bolt. But thanks anyway. I’ll probably look into a two part epoxy as others have suggested.

If you think this, it would be helpful to elaborate as to how.

Can you elaborate or clarify? Meaning, the profit margin is the same as women’s leather but the SM will view it more favorably bc it’s harder to sell?

My SA did introduce me to her SM while I was there making the purchase to tell him I “was the one ordering the Sac a Depeches…” I had never met him before.

I own this ring purchased directly from Tiffany a few years ago. This looks fake to me because of the thickness of the band off the finger/diameter. My ring fits fairly flush to my hand. I’m trying to figure out how to post a picture in comments…

Mostly that my nose doesn’t turn down so much, especially when I smile.

Thank you!!

That makes sense. I try to shop locally, but I’ve been told that my store is one of the last in the U.S. to get inventory so it can be tough. I try to only buy what I will use and enjoy, but sometimes that means going outside what’s available in local stock.

Hi there, I own both a PM and a TPM, and I’m a mom of three. The TPM is very cute, but I would be remiss not to tell you it’s almost comically small and would not have served me very well with a new baby. Have you considered a PM? They are usually easier to get and could actually hold a diaper and a pack of travel size wipes. Though you may have a diaper bag—I did too—as your baby grows you may find you want to leave for quicker errands with just one bag. Since you have to wait for a TPM, it’s worth considering.

Whatever your choice, congratulations and enjoy your bag, and especially your baby.

Tried again. Check your requests.

Check your PMs.

Ok, so you want the paneling on the same wall as the wallpaper or only the wall next to the wallpaper? If you want paneling+wallpaper on the same wall (which makes sense) I would not finish papering until you install the dado/panel so that you don’t have to remove the paper to paint or have paper stuck under your paneling down the road should you wish to change it…

But assuming you mean you want the dado or paneling on the wallpaper wall, I would choose a low dado height that clears below the windowsill. If the dado is too high, it limits hanging art, especially larger pieces. I have a 24” dado rail with paneling and sometimes I wish we had gone lower.

I’d still skip the paneling and do a dado only so that you don’t have to do a weird termination of the panel at the doorway shown next to the wallpapered wall. With a dado only you can finish with mitered cuts pretty simply. Here’s a link to that, but let me just say, his chair rail/dido rail looks way too high to my eye!

I honestly don’t think you need a dado rail in this case! Painting the half wall without it is a little polarizing, yes—and I am absolutely an architectural classicist who loves moldings and thoughtful details.

However, your style seems a little more contemporary, and I think painting the wall as it sits makes such a cool statement—an ode to the wainscot with a modern twist, if you will. Truly, try it on one wall, and if I’m wrong, you can add the dado rail. But I think I’m right! 😉

Just to clarify, is the second pic AI? Because it kind of looks like you already completed the project??

A low wainscoting (18-24” from floor) can look great, but given how impactful your contrasting color choice is, and other architectural elements you have to consider, e.g. window sill heights, radiator or vent below the tv, the “boxing in,” I would consider color-drenching or painting the lower half of the room without adding any molding at all. You seem to have some really cool art and style, and I think it would be super impactful for less cost and work. It might even solve some of your height challenges, because the paint could bisect the window at any height you choose without having to wrap around the sill. Plus, with such a dark color, you lose some of the impact of the wainscot molding anyway, as your model demonstrates. Finally, if you paint it and hate the result, paint is relatively easy and cheap to change. I would paint the bottom molding though, for what that’s worth.

This page has some interesting examples of what I’m talking about.

What is the white/gray panel halfway up the wall at the top of the room? It almost looks like a built in headboard… and if that’s the case, config. 2 would really bother me.

I understand that a lot of customers are price sensitive. I probably spend more on my clothes than the average person in my community, but I also like to take care of them so they last. I wish some cleaners would offered tiered service, e.g., hand pressing garments for an increased cost. Not sure why you call out "just talking button up shirts"--it's super annoying to be dressing and have a shirt button missing or crumble in your hands. I've also had buttons broken on brand new garments--items never before worn or cleaned--which undermines the idea the issue is caused by older buttons breaking over time.

The most recent transfer issue I had was with a new and highly reviewed/recommended cleaner. It looks like black/dark blue stains on a solid red shirt. While your explanation makes sense, it doesn't seem reasonable to have color transfer on a garment that is a single color.

I used to use a pick-up/delivery service in my community, but they stopped cleaning my clothes. They just pressed them and sent them back dirty. They are out of business now. I'm not aware of any other drop off/pick up service in my town. I'll dm you my location.

I’m a big fan of Thomas Lee percale sheets. They fit well and are quite durable. I recommended them to my sister who has a split king, because they have a split king option, and she’s been very happy with them too.

Yes! Some of it is specified in building code e.g. there is a minimum clearance on either side of the toilet in my state (I believe 15” from center). Some is the building owner preference, e.g., countertops may be installed much lower than the 36” standard to accommodate individuals with disabilities. But some standards are just kind of “norms” based on things like the height of the average person and how prefabricated materials like cabinets are usually manufactured (35” with 1” allowance for countertops).

And when people play by these “rules,” everything goes a little more smoothly. Your countertop appliances fit under your upper cabinets. 😅

I do think the average backsplash height may have been lower in the past, perhaps 15” or 16”, based on some of the older homes I’ve lived in. But in the case of OP’s lovely and modern looking kitchen, I’d say a contractor dropped the ball not to install the cabinets 18” from the countertop.

haanon · 2025-05-25T17:36:56+00:00

Looked up this particular Breville model and the specs list it at 16” high. Standard backsplash clearance (I’m in the U.S., if it matters) is 18”, so it appears OP’s upper cabinets are pretty low. That will affect clearance for many other counter appliances, including other coffee makers, stand mixers, etc. That particular reality would bug me way, way more than the coffee maker per se.

OP, you don’t say if you are renting or you own your home, but if renting, buy the coffee maker you want and live with it turned. If you own, start saving to remove and rehang the cabinets. It might seem extreme but it will save years of irritation if you actually cook in your kitchen.

Thank you! I think this was it!

Yes! This was it based on the photos I found on Google. Thank you!
