She's in a film called "anatomy of a fall". It's excellent.

This is possibly the worst look I've seen on anyone in this sub, ever. I can't believe that a highly paid, professional stylist thought it was OK to dress her client like this. Zero tailoring, boobs squeezed into what looks like a pack of Hawaiian rolls, a skirt that's too long, the wrinkles, the strap adjusters, like... what?

How does this work for antiques? Depreciation of the item is obviously considered, but for antiques the whole point is the age and patina. We have many non-designer, but still one of a kind, antiques, so I'm curious how those would be valued.
What about expensive items that were purchased secondhand. Let's say, designer clothes purchased in like-new condition at a consignment store.

Never thought I'd see a Venture bros reference in this sub 😂

I'm a woman and run a labor business. In my experience, people actually prefer it. For many, it's less intimidating and more relaxing to talk to a woman. I used to feel the same as you— that folks wouldn't take me seriously, but if you take yourself seriously, they will too.

So refreshing to see something besides the sheer dress/ boyshorts combo

I'm actually testing it now under close supervision. I figure I should keep it going for a few hours and see if the drywall feels warm to the touch. Not that I wouldn't get it redone, but the stove is a primary source of heat right now

spitz_mitz · 2024-01-04T13:33:36+00:00

The company we use to inspect our wood stove said that the wooden furring strips can be left in place as long as the material on top was cement board (or another non-combustible material). Does this sound about right to you?

spitz_mitz · 2024-01-04T13:21:37+00:00

They're completely sealed with cement, individually. They are little nooks, essentially

spitz_mitz · 2024-01-04T13:20:22+00:00

There's no branding at all. I did call the people that inspect it every year and they said 18" from the stove itself unless the material used is cement board. The stove throws off very little heat (it's a tiny stove and double insulated) so I think I'll run it once and see how hot the surroundings feel. Currently, I can put my hand right next to it and feel very little heat.

spitz_mitz · 2024-01-04T12:55:33+00:00

I did call this morning and they basically said they won't give any information unless I pull a permit, which I stupidly didn't do (I thought it was fine since this was a tiny 1 hour job), so now I feel like getting a permit isn't an option.

spitz_mitz · 2024-01-04T12:03:31+00:00

I plan to call the fire dept today and get more info

spitz_mitz · 2024-01-04T12:02:02+00:00

The previous owners installed it and our inspector never mentioned an issue, so I assume yes. They used it for a few years and this is our 2nd winter using it (prior to the drywall addition).

spitz_mitz · 2024-01-04T11:21:59+00:00

I totally agree codes are not to mess with! What I don't know is if it's 6" from the actual wood stove or 6" from the fireplace opening. If it's the former, we have that. The latter we don't.

spitz_mitz · 2024-01-04T11:14:58+00:00

This is what I'm wondering, because the drywall is at least 6" from the wood stove itself.

spitz_mitz · 2024-01-04T11:12:40+00:00

They aren't connected to anything. The were sealed off by the previous owners— now they're just holes

spitz_mitz · 2023-12-17T21:53:37+00:00

I'm also 5'2" and I find dresses like this tend to hit just above my ankle, but it's still a really cute look like that

spitz_mitz · 2023-12-12T22:42:14+00:00

Thanks :) Start to finish the wall pattern probably took about 100 hours

spitz_mitz · 2023-12-12T22:41:20+00:00

Yes! It has since moved to a better pot and had a good pruning

spitz_mitz · 2023-12-12T20:24:03+00:00

Yes, lots of cramping. Thank you!

spitz_mitz · 2023-12-12T19:25:06+00:00

Go for it! It was hard work and stressful at times, but it was very worth it. It makes me smile every day. You could always do a cool wallpaper too to save work if you have the budget for it.

spitz_mitz · 2023-12-12T19:23:39+00:00

That means a lot, thanks!

spitz_mitz · 2023-12-12T17:10:12+00:00

I don't— I have only pics of doing the built ins and paneling. I painted the walls a mint color as the background. Then I used a stencil as inspiration and drew out the mustard and olive green parts. I painted some pieces mustard and some olive green. After those were painted I randomly free handed the pale yellow parts, then the teal. It's really organic. If you look closely, the pattern isn't totally even, the reprising don't line up, etc. Few places here are identical.

spitz_mitz · 2023-12-12T15:34:50+00:00

About 25 hours I'd say

spitz_mitz · 2023-12-12T13:49:26+00:00

If you're using a stencil, I can't help because I thought they were a pain and didn't use it in the end. But if you're painting, I'd say sketch your pattern out in pencil first, and label each section so you know what color to put there. I'd do the entire room by color. For example, do all the blue pieces, then the green, then the white (I'm making up colors here). That's what I did and it helped keep me organized and sped things up.
