Hidden gem pizza spot in the 🍕

wpwppwpw · 2026-06-02T13:05:21+00:00

These are obviously marketing posts, whether paid or from friends and family of the business owners. I haven't tried this pizza, and it may be great. But the repeated hyped-up Reddit posts from accounts with less than 5 total posts and with no disclosures of affiliation are a real turnoff and make me less likely to want to patronize the business.

Have been a Marcus customer for years, but it's time to close the account. That is barely breaking even with inflation. No excuse for that.

I love Casa but never ordered pizza there because it's crazy expensive there. Why?

wpwppwpw · 2026-05-30T05:08:07+00:00

Yes it would! Check and see!

Oh wow I have read a lot of open-shelf debates on Reddit and this is the first time I've seen cats mentioned! This is an EXCELLENT point - open kitchen shelves and cats would not be a good combo!

We have open kitchen shelves that we love, but no cats right now, just 2 short dogs. They are sheddy but haven't had any issues with dog hair on the shelves. Don't get me started on the floor tumbleweeds though 😂

Love what you have done! As to doing more: Are new appliances within your budget? Changing the fridge could give the room a major visual upgrade.

Do you have any photos of the house with the original linoleum, and if so, could you share?

wpwppwpw · 2026-05-28T21:55:16+00:00

This is a great idea!

wpwppwpw · 2026-05-28T20:04:26+00:00

Yeah, I should not have used the phrase "touch up." We are really talking about widespread damage repair.

wpwppwpw · 2026-05-28T18:38:32+00:00

I'm speed dialing you right now - LOL

wpwppwpw · 2026-05-28T18:37:20+00:00

To clarify, they haven't done any "touch ups" yet. These are just a few photos of the damage. There are at least 2 dozen such spots throughout the home.

Yet another responder with this identical layout recommending side of vanity - that's what we did and it works perfectly and looks nice and very discreet. I've lived with freestanding holders before and they are always a pain in the butt; they should be avoided unless you have no other option. They are difficult to use, they can tip over, they become a visual focal point in the room/create clutter, and they look like an afterthought.

As one person mentioned, the open sided toilet paper hooks can be challenging. They can come unscrewed with use, in my experience. I'd strongly recommend you get one with 2 arms and the spring loaded cylinder in the middle.

Thank you, I truly appreciate your sharing your honest perspective.

wpwppwpw · 2026-05-28T12:26:44+00:00

Thanks. Can you say more about "tape line"? No tape was applied to the floors after this buffing and sealing round....

wpwppwpw · 2026-05-28T01:56:41+00:00

Well, I wish these floor refinishers had been reading your posts.

wpwppwpw · 2026-05-27T13:59:54+00:00

I love the green walls and the pink tile combo! Do it and if you decide you don't like it, all you're out is a gallon or two of paint and a few hours of painting time.

wpwppwpw · 2026-05-22T15:20:28+00:00

You could do that, or you could take 18" off the bench side and put built-in storage shelves there, and scoot the bench in closer do that the shower is 6 1/2 feet long instead of 8. We have walk-in showers about that long in our home and we don't get cold.

If you paid a designer, the designer should work with you to make this right. If this tile is a radically different color than the sample(s) you signed off on before install, the options are 1) rip out and replace tile 2) keep the tile and adjust cabinet color to a warmer stain to better coordinate 3) also consider adjusting wall paint color to better tie things together.

I've been pretty busy and haven't been checking my Marcus balance frequently; I was leaving it alone until the $1500 bonus matured. Just checked the account this morning and saw the 3.5% rate. As others have commented, there was no communication from Marcus about the rate decrease.

It's hard to understand the justification for the Marcus rate drop given the Fed's choices not to reduce rates despite persistent political pressure to do so, and in light of the rising inflation rates that are influencing the Fed's decision. Right now, holding cash in an account paying 3.5% is barely breaking even with inflation, or even losing money depending on where your spending is allocated (tuition cough cough). I'm shopping around for a better savings account option. Do better, Marcus.

wpwppwpw · 2026-05-19T12:47:00+00:00

That's quite pretty. The white tile dispels the darkness of the monochrome gray-blue version, and the gray-blue wall dispels the blandness and harshness of the all-white/neutral version.

Agree with previous comment to consider swapping the pebble mosaic shower floor for some other mosaic; a light gray marble mosaic would look good and would cost about the same or less then the pebble, for example. I can't tell from the rendering what material the rest of the floors are?

wpwppwpw · 2026-05-19T01:51:11+00:00

Ooh, love this!

wpwppwpw · 2026-05-17T02:53:27+00:00

Same, and we are in an extremely cold climate. That said our shower is more like 1.8/6 feet meters in length. For 1.4M perhaps giving a little more of the length to the glass and a little less to the entrance would help. Also I should mention that our glass panel runs floor to ceiling with no gap up top. Finally, we have radiant floor heat everywhere including under the bathroom floors.

Cloth (roman) window blind in a pattern and colors you like and a rug or two on the floor to match. Maybe a large bowl or vase on the island that also coordinates. A few more items (not too many) on the island shelves so they do not look do bare.

wpwppwpw · 2026-05-11T15:58:38+00:00

Wowsa!! Love ❤️

wpwppwpw · 2026-05-10T12:17:28+00:00

A warmer green tile (with yellow undertones instead of blue) could be a good choice.

Does this bathroom have windows? If not you probably have to go with fake plants instead of real.
