Re: Before & After: This 143-Square-Foot Kitchen's Makeover Kept the Same Layout But Now Seats 6
The high bench looks very uncomfortable - don't your feet dangle and hit against the drawers?
Re: Before & After: This 143-Square-Foot Kitchen's Makeover Kept the Same Layout But Now Seats 6
Looks great. But sorry, moving the fridge into another room is NOT 'keeping the same layout'.
Organizing a Studio House
I live in a studio house which has my Livingroom, office, & bedroom all in one room that runs right into my kitchen, and then my bathroom which has the only inside door in the house.
It is too cluttered to take pictures of, so just imagine a large rectangular room with one room at one end with a door on it.
The house has 2 entry doors, one right into the combo living/office/bedroom, one into the kitchen which I have blocked with a portable shelf for storage.
I only have the one sink in the kitchen. There is a stove and fridge. I have installed 2 portable folding tables, one in the living area and one between the stove and fridge. I have also installed 2 portable shelves/cabinets, one in the kitchen by the door, and the other by the kitchen counter on the other end of the sink area which I put together as a kit for my microwave and more food storage.
The stove does have a drawer in the bottom for pans, I do have 2 built in cupboards above and on either side of the kitchen sink area and there is storage area under the sink and kitchen counter. There are also 3 small shelves at the opposite end of the kitchen counter from my microwave cupboard.
I have one very small closet with one shelf on top, which I hang some of my clothes in. I also purchased a foldable padded seat chest that sits at the foot of my bed. However I have very little floor space left since I have been purchasing totes to store my things in that I have no room for.
I will try to add a drawing of my house to this message but if I can not maybe you can get an idea from my description.

While I myself would want a bigger kitchen, this place is very cute and I love that she hasn't sacrificed book storage. (Also, she speaks at least three languages, it seems. Cool stuff.)

Such an inviting home, full of art and color - I love it!
Re: Recommendations for hanging this oddly sized painting?
This is a great suggestion. I do this too with unframed oils - sadly they don't look as stylish as your fab bathroom vignette, Kbm - love the matching clock and tray.
Re: House Tour: It’s Hard to Picture This Gorgeous 125-Year-Old House Ever Being “Drab, Dull, and Brown
I agree! Looks like a really cool house but hard to tell when they only photograph half a bed to show the bedroom? Or the bathroom sink to show the bathroom? What is wrong with taking photos of the ENTIRE room?? This has been my pet peeve about AT for years!
Re: One Good Thing: My Favorite Hallway Nightlight Called Eufy (What's yours?)
Very nice use case that I hadn't thought of.. The ARE great and very heart warming as they really do light up as you approach and stay lit for about three minutes or so.
Pro Tip: I also now use them in my kitchen cabinets so they light up my dishes and glasses from behind when I open the doors :)
Re: Recommendations for hanging this oddly sized painting?
place 1-2 inch paper loops to the back & slide a doll rod or curtain rod through then hang on wall with rod brackets or nails. These will no ruin your art piece.
