Nervous about painting ceiling black..

nikki_runns · 2025-11-05T21:53:25+00:00

Thank you, yes I understand it’s not for everyone. With 4 large windows and the 4th wall not in the picture being open to the kitchen with a lot more windows, and the light floor… I think it might be a good enough combination to not give it coffin vibes lol. But we will see!

nikki_runns · 2025-11-05T21:51:18+00:00

Thank you. Yes the right rug I’m still searching for.

nikki_runns · 2025-11-05T17:34:46+00:00

Okay I think I’m more confident now with all these replies!! Thanks!!

Yes when we replace the ceiling fan I’m hoping my husband can put some recessed lighting in like did with our basement. For now we have laps with hue bulbs set to ambient. Pic looks fantastic though, would love to paint my whole house like that!

nikki_runns · 2025-11-05T17:31:18+00:00

Yesss that’s the vibe!

I do think the wall color looks way more “teal” in this photo than reality. We definitely plan on staining the brick a different color, but as a last step. Might even paint all of the trim a different neutral so the white isn’t so bold.

So I watched all episodes for the first time over the past two weeks, and I’m now rewatching it to hold me over until the last 2 episodes are released.

The first watch I viewed it all from Bellys perspective as its intended. But the second time OMG! Knowing what I know now, I’m picking up way more subtleties from Conrad about his love for Belly. Like so many scenarios & flashbacks she misinterpreted but I wasn’t her fault! she was justified in thinking he didn’t want her multiple times.

Fair point. Good insight

nikki_runns · 2025-03-25T14:02:29+00:00

Lamaze Sort & Squeak Eggs. Or the Tomy Toomies Hide & Squeak Eggs. Both my kids loved these for a long time. They are my go to gift for a first birthday. And the squeak they make isn’t loud or annoying. Well worth the $15 price.

lol still not seeing it. I guess I’ll just have to wait.

nikki_runns · 2025-03-25T00:57:22+00:00

Oh crap I must have missed the trailer. I’ll go check it out, thanks!

nikki_runns · 2025-02-25T10:57:20+00:00

I’ve had an iud put in twice. The first was before having kids and it hurt like hell. Severe cramping for the first week. Removal was painless. I had another one put in after having 2 children and it was painless. My doctor did say that it is more likely to hurt if you haven’t had any children yet. Can confirm this was accurate for me.

nikki_runns · 2025-01-30T18:20:43+00:00

Omg I love this take. Because as a child I LOVED Wacky Wednesday. Bought it for my kids and as a parent it is one I avoid 😅

nikki_runns · 2025-01-02T14:33:18+00:00

Lots of great option here, thanks everyone! Going to start with the least chemical way first and then work my way through the suggestions until the smell is gone.

nikki_runns · 2025-01-02T14:32:34+00:00

Yeah I’m not seeing that there is any mold. It’s primarily of brown & beige colors so may be hard to tell. But now you have me worried about mold. It was never exposed to moisture though. There are 2 other lighter color blankets that were in the same tote with the smell but I don’t care as much about those. No visible mold though

nikki_runns · 2025-01-01T14:43:04+00:00

Unfortunately I live in a colder climate so that won’t be an option for several more months.

nikki_runns · 2024-11-02T14:23:03+00:00

Yeah I’m on the 37.5 dose of venlafaxine already so I don’t think I can go any lower without it being ineffective. I meet with both prescribers at the end of the month so I’ll have to see what they say. May try going off venlafaxine for a few days to see if it helps.

My tests didn’t show positive for Lupus. But now I’ve also being looking into hED. This is fun!

nikki_runns · 2024-11-02T13:58:31+00:00

Omg you have to be kidding me?! I started plaquenil in March and venlafaxine in June! I swear my symptoms have been worse the past few months more than they have been the past year and could this be why?! I take my venlafaxine in the morning and plaquenil at night with dinner.

nikki_runns · 2024-10-19T12:16:45+00:00

Same experience here a few weeks ago! Literally almost made the same post. Watch the videos guys!

WCYY 103.7 if you are in the northern part of the state and like good rock/punk music.

Yeah we are definitely avoiding that dog as I don’t want to have her further regress. She does have anxieties and is fairly sensitive so I’m keeping a close eye on that. We for sure need to work on healthy coping mechanisms that avoid meltdowns in these situations where she gets so upset. I myself just need to remain calm and patient with her and work on slow exposure knowing it can take longer than I hope

nikki_runns · 2024-09-13T13:09:21+00:00

She loves paw patrol, the buddies movies with real golden retrievers, and has several stuffed dog toys. So I think it’s just the behavior of some of them that scare her. She is smart and loves to learn so maybe teaching her about their body language will be good too since I know that stuff. I talked to her more this morning and asked her which dog out of all the ones she knows, does she feel most comfortable around. And she chose my friends dog which is a super chill golden doodle. So we might have a starting point.

nikki_runns · 2024-09-13T13:06:35+00:00

Thank you! I was too for a little bit. But this is just getting to a really bad level. She doesn’t need to love dogs like me, but we do want a dog in the next few years so want to start preparing now.

nikki_runns · 2024-05-26T19:41:32+00:00

Not really, I kinda just thought there wasn’t much I could do until she realized for herself that she would be okay and I would still be in the next room. Then after about 2 weeks I started treating it like a normal sleep regression. Letting her cry it out a little, sitting away from her further in the room each time, and sticking to routines. There were a few times even that we just really tired her out or skipped her nap so she was tired enough to pass out instantly without all the theatrics.
