What current popular design elements will last?
Comments (135)baileysr I have a hard time believing that, as it's not some type of design fad, it's a fundamental change in how most people live, which is to say more informally. It's kind of like saying pantries are a fad... they are simply too perfect in function to go out of style, and really the surprise is that we forgot about them for a while. What I think will happen is we will get better at having flexible spaces and/or a combination of open spaces and closed spaces. For example, an open LR/DR/Kitchen, with a closed door den, office, or tv room (basically a room or two that everyone could use differently depending on their needs, with doors that could be open or closed at will.) It's funny to me that people think of open plan as new, when going back all the way to the 70's, most houses were open in a sense. But then they had the worst combination. Sound-wise they were open, with the living room, family room and kitchen all open to each other, which I always found dumb. If you have living room and a family room, don't you want them isolated from each other? But flow-wise, they were broken up so they weren't social and they didn't feel spacious. And there will always be some people who prefer a very closed plan, but I believe they will be the minority....See MoreArtwork. Worth the splurge or not?
Comments (244)All true, Heather Roddy! I posted to this thread when it first began, and I still love reading people's thoughts about art. We have a collection of mostly watercolors, as well as one huge oil painting and two giant pastels. I am beginning to rotate the art, as I have several waiting to be framed and no space left! There is just one drawback that I recently discovered: We are having the interior of our house painted and new flooring on the first floor done soon, and all the artwork must come down! Quite a job. Lest you musicians think you have it "easy," we also have to move our grand piano, taking off its legs, wrapping it up so that sawdust doesn't damage it, and fitting it into a tiny room that is not being renovated, then reversing the process when the work is done. The guitars and dulcimer will just be carried upstairs, thank goodness. I was sad when I did it, but now I'm glad I got rid of my grandfather's electric organ a year ago. That thing was so heavy, it took three men to lift it into a truck. My husband's back was sore for a week. Ah, the perils of art!...See MorePOLL: Are you hosting Thanksgiving Dinner at your house?
Comments (160)I am hosting a very special Thanksgiving. My parents are both ill; my Father has cancer and my Mother has Alzheimers. I have moved them in with me. This summer my Dad was hospitalized 6 times and almost died in ICU. I live in the south and they are from the north so this will be the first Thanksgiving they will have with us and their grandchildren. We have a lot to thank God for...Dad's cancer is in remission and he is doing great, Mom has begun to adjust to the change in environment and my daughter is pregnant with our first grandchild and their first great grandchild! 8). God is so good! Oh yeah, dinner will be traditional turkey and the "fixins". Happy Thanksgiving y'all!!!...See More"Do what you want". Now, what do I do?
Comments (312)I've been trying to chase some good light, which hasn't been easy, since the rains really settled in here... Here is my best attempt: The color is really difficult to capture. It's just so tweedy & multi-dimensional, it even has a distinctive green tint to it, in a certain light. I'm afraid I didn't capture it very well, but I hope you all will get an idea. I have posted pictures of the updated area on here, and of course, I had to write a little story to go with them, (doesn't every Houzz tell a story?): [https://www.houzz.com/discussions/mommy-look-the-mountain-is-broken-dsvw-vd~4243029[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/mommy-look-the-mountain-is-broken-dsvw-vd~4243029) This has certainly been an interesting dilemma to solve! I wanted to thank everyone for their time, expertise and the willingness to help. Houzz is a community like no other :)....See Moreshane11
