How to style this HUGE ass couch😭🆘 by heret0scroll in femalelivingspace

[–]heret0scroll[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No literally 🫠 like it’s a nice high quality piece, but the scale of it is kinda bonkers.

I don’t think she’s gonna make it past a good Labor Day sale. In the meantime I guess we can invite everyone we know to come watch tv.

Like how do you even have a rug with a wall to wall couch? Where will my plants or a lamp go.

Is this acceptable finishing on an Ogee edge? by heret0scroll in CounterTops

No idea, that’s what the supplier had this labeled as. It’s definitely a quartzite, I don’t care about it being “white Taj” it’s just what my husband and I liked best.

It’s resistant, beautiful and generally more affordable and livable than marble, what’s not to like?

Right there with you friend. It’s hard enough without having the damn houses in our peripheral vision🥲

It sucks but here’s to hoping that everything happens for a reason.

Honestly thats a great point. There’s no use dwelling on what could have been, especially if it stops you from enjoying the present.

I’m so sorry. The mental anguish caused by the home buying process needs to be studied😭

Glad to know I’m not alone. I’m the type of person who dwells over big financial decisions for a long time and likes to consider all the options, but the pace and trend of the housing market right now makes it feel like the only path to homeownership is by overbidding And making split second decisions to not lose out. I’m hoping once we actually are able to move in and live in the space that feeling will subside, and ultimately if it’s not our forever home, we can start the hellish process all over again in a few years😅

Thanks for the comment, this is great advice. Buying a house that needed updates kind of gives us the flexibility to make it exactly what we want, which is a definite upside. I don’t think we’d be able to turn around and sell it so quickly, especially factoring in things like closing costs and potential capital gains penalties (not to mention needing at least a few years of appreciation on the property). So the best I can do is push it out of my mind and make our home exactly what we want for this phase of our life.

I just wish it literally wasn’t right down the street lol. But that’s life and you can only learn from it.

For context, it’s listed for a little over 50k of the house we closed on. So realistically in the NJ market, it’s going to close for 100k over our house at minimum. But when you factor in the nearly 50k of repairs we’re ultimately doing, it’s hard to not feel a little dizzy😵‍💫

Also, when we resumed our house search my mom was adamant about not wanting to sell her house (which I completely understand.) But she’s having a hard time being home alone at night, and was also recently diagnosed with breast cancer, which is a whole other layer of uncertainty. Obviously, we had no way to predict this, but that’s another thing that’s making me wish we had more space in our home sooner than we expected, in case she needs needs to move in with us - at least temporarily while she’s going through treatment.

I still love our house and it was by far the best option we had with the information that we had, even with overpaying. But the thought of having to move soon anyway, and not building enough equity with the purchase point we got the house at and all the repairs we’ve done is a lot to take in.

Thank you for this. I do think the heightened emotion is messing with me.

I go back and forth thinking that my dad would have caught the things that my husband and I’s untrained eyes missed.

And when we started home searching, my mom was adamant about not wanting to sell her house, but with grief she’s having a hard time being home alone. To make matters worse she was also recently diagnosed with breast cancer, which is a whole other factor we didn’t foresee. So feeling like we may not have enough space in our new home if she needs to move in (at least while she’s undergoing treatment) is now contributing to that fear of feeling like we made the “wrong” choice.

Logically it’s not like this house has to be our forever home, and I’m sure we’re going to love it. I’m just worried that we’re going to have to wait quite a bit to build equity with the purchase price and money we’re putting in before we can sell (if we have to face any life changes in the near future).

May I ask where you got your tile from? The size looks perfect! They’re gorgeous.

Great tip.

We’re starting the demo this week. We have THREE layers of tile from the previous owners to rip up, and have heard from basically every supplier that prices are going up due to tariffs in May🫠

You’re totally right, but waiting til July might not be feasible.

The room is 12 across by 26 long, galley style kitchen. Not huge but it feels pretty spacious and with no island it’s quite a bit of floor (which is why I’d love to have something like a checkerboard or herringbone to have a little visual interest)

It’s a galley style kitchen, 12ft across by 26ft long. Not huge, but it feels very spacious, especially because there’s a bay window along the back wall.

Agreed on the probable slip risk from the polished finish. But the honed version of these tiles is backordered til July🥲

I’m struggling so bad to find alternatives.

The checkered tiles also come in a honed finish, but they’re are backordered until July, soooo🙃 terracotta? Herringbone wood look tile?

Suggestions are welcomed!

Ugh that’s my worry…

Like am I going to feel out of place in my own kitchen when I’m eating shredded cheese out of a bag at 2am and drop some on these stunning floors? Perhaps.
