ChiquitaHannah's Profile

I heart Emily Henderson!

I have a kitchen very similar to yours. After living without a dishwasher for nearly a year (family of 5) I broke down and bought a full size portable dishwasher off of CL. Bonus: it doubles as a kitchen island!

Or worse, all the historic homes could be painted beige or grey.

This reminds me about the acronym the birthing class I went to used to remind the moms to be about what to remember when your water breaks:

T - time
A- amount
C- color
O - odor

LOL, Frank, I'm a young person and I am probably the ONLY person my age who doesn't like flip flops. I know it's totally off subject, but yes, I hate them. Unless it's a public shower, pool or the beach. This is especially strange because I grew up in SoCal and everyone wears flip flops everywhere.

Back to the subject, I'm Asian, I don't wear shoes in my house. But my husband wears his shoes in the house unless he knows he's going to be home all day. I don't demand guests to take off their shoes. However, I think if I had carpeting in my house I would ask guests to remove their shoes because that's just really gross.

We did something similar for our son's room. Part of his room's square footage was borrowed to make a second bath (by previous owners) which left an awkward L-shaped room and a huge closet. We built a loft in the closet that fits a twin sized mattress and there is still room under for storing toys and a dresser on the opposite wall of the closet. This leaves plenty of room for a play area in his room. Everyone who comes over says his bed nook is awesome!

Beautiful! Especially in love with the aqua backsplash.

Where are the Filipino design accents?

Cyclamen are great! I've had one for a year on my kitchen windowsill and it's been blooming pretty pink flowers non stop. And it only needs watering about once a week.

I love our high end dishwasher! It makes virtually no noise.

Also, some "luxuries" I couldn't live without are my mattress, kitchen faucet and shower head.
