We need to decide on cabinet hardware now. We are re-using our existing cabinet but painting it grey like the photos above.
Our lights are square-ish, and we have these medicine cabinets
And our faucets are these
We also just ordered these sinks
I know it's a lot of "Square"...I really love the look of the square sink and faucet together though when I see it in photos. We ordered a formica countertop that looks like marble with an ogee edge, so that will hopefully add a bit of femininity/softness. For cabinet hardware I really like the look of "fake" crystal round or hexagonal knobs. I know half of you will scoff but I like it and it suits my inspiration. I need 5 knobs and 5 pulls/bars. I cannot find a bar/pull that I like, in a shiny chrome finish. They are all super modern or ugly and outdated looking with swirls or leaves. I want something that isn't just a straight, hard bar....maybe something with lucite or clear glass? I am at a loss. Any suggestions?
Honestly I would not buy those because I can tell at a glance how to make them and I would do it myself.
I think it depends on how many people are interested. I don't see them being a big seller, not because they aren't cool but because they are a simple project that is all over Pinterest. I am not trying to be harsh just honest. If a friend wants a set I would do them and charge materials plus a few bucks - if it costs you $15 I would charge $25 for example.
I work with kids - I get it. It sucks when you are trying to engage them I. Hands on learning and little Sally is wearing a white lace dress to fingerprint. Or Johnny has deigner sneakers and you want to go puddle jumping or visit a farm.
No fun to be stressing about keeping them pristine.
I think she just means - "if you'd be pissed if your kid came home with a stain or paint on it, don't send him wearing it"
I don't have the brand new paperwhite, but the version before that. I have an experimental browser I can use but it's slow and awkward. It's good for In a pinch but it's not something I would surf the web with for fun
My parents just hired out their kitchen cabinets - they did the rest themselves. They gutted the kitchen and also put in a skylight. It was almost 20k by the time it was all said and done - floors, appliances, countertop, cabinets, hardware, lighting, backsplash, paint, sink and faucet, etc.
They have a moderate sized kitchen - not tiny but not huge. I am sure they could have done it for less but they also didn't go crazy.
I take lots of photos but choose to keep my kids private aside from an occasional photo for far away family. Just because I don't share every precious family moment with the world doesn't mean I am too lazy to take pictures.
That makes No sense to me. I don't post pictures on Facebook and I have bought and sold 100s of things. I am always on time, always ahow up when I say and I sell my stuff for cheap and in good condition. Whether I choose to share pictures on Facebook has nothing to do with what kind of a person I am.
So I bought that cricut machine from a lady through a local Facebook swap/sell site. I asked her a bunch of questions over Facebook including "do you have cartridges" and she said yes.
When I picked up she was an older lady and lived in a trailer park. As I was like halfway out the door I said "oh the cartridge?" And she said that her daughter took them all. I said "oh. Well there should be the cartridge that comes with the machine when you buy it." And she acted dumb and said that she didn't know about it and her daughter had them, she didn't really know how to use the machine really and bla bla.
I felt bad squeezing an old lady for a cartridge so I just mumbled and left.. I was totally kicking myself and yelling at myself inside.
So as soon as I get home I Facebook her and say that I can see I our messages she did claim to have cartridges when I agreed to purchase so I would like her to get the starter one back from her daughter and give it to me.
She sees the message and ignores me. Two days later I send her another one. She responds back "thanks for being so impatient I work. I called customs today and they said it will be $20 to get the cartridge shipped back. Now since I have you a steal of a deal on the machine I will be charging you the cost of getting it sent back"
I had no idea the daughter disnt live here. So I just said whatever, I am not paying squat and I am done with you.
The group admin tried to contact her and she left the group. She sent me a message complaining that I "was making a big deal" out of it. I just ignored her.
I can use the machine by hooking it up to my computer and I can buy cartridges that way, and there is lots of free stuff. I have used it and I am happy with it and I learned a hard lesson about standing up for myself,
This morning at the crack of dawn I get a message. She said "the package came yesterday. I will be nice and split the cost with you and if you pay me $10 you can have the cartridge."
I run a daycare in my home. And I live in a small town where most people wear sweats - if I wore trousers I would get asked why I am so dressed up! I sit on the floor , get peed on, have Playdo stuck to my bum.
The square neck on this is hard for me - I need something under because it's very low. A t shirt looks stupid. I have a couple of button up plaid shirts I could layer underbut all are too right across the shoulders and drive me nuts. I have a hard time finding them that fit across the shoulders.
I have really wide feet and most of the shoes I have are painful to wear - but they were the only shoes I could find that my foot got all the way into. If my foot goes in I buy it because it's rare.
I have a pair of tall black boots. A pair of black pumps. A pair of black wedges, a pair of brown wedges with cork. Running shoes. Flip flops.
This year I am going to try ordering some special expensive shoes - I would like a pair of nude pumps and some leopard print flats.
