Comments (230)I don't have open concept but the smell of cooking still permeates the whole house. That said, I agree that open concept is easy to overdo. So many families on HGTV think it is so important to have open concept so they can watch the little ones while cooking. Well, in a few years, those little ones are going to be playing with their video games or noisy friends or watching TV programs that you aren't interested in, and they no longer need such close supervision, and you will be unable to escape all that while you make dinner or eat lunch or unload the groceries. I kind of like the privacy from my family of a non-open concept kitchen . And when we entertain I like being able to clear the dishes without having to look at the messy kitchen while we adjourn to a separate room to enjoy the rest of the evening....See MoreBuyers changed window before closing
Comments (23)Hi all. Yes we did go through with the closing on the 15th. I guess I didn't have the fight left in me and jut wanted to get it over with. It was their realtor who "knew a guy" who worked in the window. Our realtor was not helpful. Sent us threatening messages along the lines of "don't screw up this deal" and saying we should consider ourselves lucky to have him as our realtor. What. Ever. It's over now. I feel more like licking my wounds rather than celebrating. We signed all the paperwork on Friday at our attorneys office and sent him to the closing. We didn't even attend and I have not seen nor spoken to our realtor since. My take away from this is that buying a house is way more fun, than selling one. Ugh...See MoreWould you suggest that they change it even if they don't want to?
Comments (74)I'm not a fan of the yellow, but what's really jarring to my eye is the mantle/shelf being installed 6-10 inches above the fireplace surround. If they would paint that space between the shelf, brackets and fireplace surround the same white as the shelf, etc. it might look a bit more cohesive. If they would spend the money/time, I would move that mantle/shelf so that it sits directly above the fireplace surround. Good luck!...See MorePlease make it go away...
Comments (33)Thank you so much everyone. The more I look at them, the more I am thinking about not painting the cabinets...at least for now and then hiring a pro. They are painted laminate. The appliances are faced in the same laminate. I am into diy but that task seems beyond me. To answer a couple questions, the appliances in the master bath are a small washer/dryer combo. ...And sadly the master bedroom is the same color. Everything is that color. Except for the office (white) and the upstairs bedrooms. The previous owner REALLY liked gold. All of the interior doors are also painted and all the molding. Sigh. Visitors (and my husband) say they don't mind the color but I say if it's a color I wouldn't wear or paint my car I can't live in it! For a little more info, I am an artist and my paintings are very colorful and lively. This backdrop is a complete no go for displaying my art. Thanks again. I really appreciate all the advice and support. I absolutely adore this house and am looking forward to making it more "me" :)...See Morepalimpsest
