@ANNA EUROPE, way to positive and thoughtful! Just because this kitchen is not to your taste doesn't mean this makeover is ugly, or as you say, "random and partly unfinished." Really? I see a lot of hard work. Where's a picture of your hard work?

Build it up all the way if you want, but realize how impractical that is for items you need to use. I keep everything for cooking within arm's reach.

Don't mind the negative Nellies.

I like the remodel, and I wouldn't care if people said it looks like a hotel bathroom. I like the cleanliness of nice hotel bathrooms, and I like your new bathroom.

Really? All the way up to the ceiling? So I would need a ladder to get up there every time? No thanks.

I like to put my wares where I can reach them immediately. I would never get cabinets that go all the way up to the ceiling; that's just not practical for me. People have reasons for NOT doing things!

I love our big pergola, but just remember: you still have to clean it, and birds love to make nests where tree branches settle in the brise-soleil or slats -- and then there's the bird poop from birds perching up there throughout the day. :) Pergolas are also great for hanging plants and flower baskets if you don't have much greenery already planted.

Always the huge basement playroom. Always. Nobody cared about the mess; you could draw on the walls. It was a total dream for heavy rain or snow days.

Price outrageously expensive or not?

This is awesome, but is there an extra large for an outdoor table for twelve-fourteen?

And I'm chiming back in @CanadianMango. Given the seriously overopinionated tone of your comment history, I'm not surprised that you can throw around "ugly" so cowardly on the Internet. Bravo! What a good one! Zingers every minute.

Those who love patina or age should see the counters in my '70s' house. White ceramic tile with old grout.

I agree with Home Body - I have always wondered why would anyone want something so ugly as a kidney shaped pool (or whatever other bizarre shapes they come in). They usually take up most of the backyard, one cannot swim in them, not pretty to look at.

We can swim in our odd-shaped pool just fine, and it doesn't take up half the backyard. Not even.

I'm so happy to have a pool/spa and a large entertaining patio; I care not how you perceive it. It isn't for you.

For wagyu, a certificate is issued, too. I have one from years ago.

I live in the area and can appreciate this lovely year-round courtyard. There is actually some good information on the designer's website regarding this design that was not included here!

I had a grownup place when I got cookware, eatware and things to sit on whereas my first apartment in college had two beach chairs, no cookware, and no other furniture beyond a desk and bed. That's what "grownup" meant to me.

Excellent work. Come on, negative Nellies.

Yes, it is an outdoor rug for looks, and there's nothing wrong with outdoor rugs. Sometimes when you want to add a touch of cozy, you add rugs and pillows! No mystery. I plan on making my own outdoor rug and putting it out for parties. I have my outdoor fabric already. And shocking: I even have curtains for my pergola!

Perhaps it isn't in the US, but this is a totally DIYable project.

We have a Moon in My Room light already, and it is fun.
