Do you think I'll miss having a tub filler?
Comments (7)Sure - I'm going to fill the tub with the same amount of water (which, for the tubs we're looking at, is in the 70-80 gallon range). But, it will take almost twice as long - and yes, the water does cool. Sassinak - you're on my page! (I'm looking for a tub that holds less water, btw - but still, taking 15 minutes to fill a tub vs. 8 or so does seem like an issue). We didn't want a wall spout because it's a two person tub - and we don't want a faucet poking into the head of Bather #2. We did go to a good plumbing store yesterday - and it looks like we'll get the handheld PLUS a tub filler - with just a diverter between the two (no handles for the filler) - and mount the filler on the deck, possibly back side middle - so no having to have it in one's face. I really appreciate the help. Lazypup, in particular - thanks for the clarification on flow rates. We brought home Grohe literature that indicates that one of their tub fillers will reach a rate of 15 gpm! (We have good pressure at the main point of entry to our house and will be replumbing from that point to the bathroom in order to keep that good pressure up where it belongs - so I'll be able to ZOOM fill my tub). Not that it's been much of an issue - I actually have my day planned out right now so that I can fill our current fairly small tub (takes about 15 minutes) while I do stuff in the kitchen. It would be nice, though, to be able to plan a quicker bath!...See MoreWhat do I do with this big blank wall?
Comments (19)Hang a tall, vertical art work in colors and a subject you like that will tie into your furnishings. Hang it over a tallish console table on open legs. Do think about hanging a large art work on the dining wall, which can also be viewed as you walk in the door. And, yes, install floor-to-ceiling shelves to flank the fireplace. Are you planning to pull up carpeting? Even if you're not, consider a layered runner from the front door to the wall in question. This creates a "pathway" into the space and towards the art, dining, and living areas. Oh, and remove all the clutter on the paneling on the side of the fridge. You could also put a piece of art there, but probably it's better to leave it blank....See MoreHELP! Huge Wall, has problems with design and color! What do I do?
Comments (4)Thanks jck910 for your comments. We approached the landlord a few months after moving in about doing work in and outside the house. He gave us written permission to do anything we wanted to and offered to pay for the flooring and the paint. So as for hiring someone, the decision was mutually agreed that we would do the work with the exception of the floors. He wants they done right even though we've done it before with friends in their homes. But I get to pick all the colors....See MoreHow can I convince my husband that white paint is nice/will look good
Comments (48)What do you mean by "my" bedroom and bathroom? Do you and husband ea. have your own? If so then what's the problem, just do what you want! If not.... well.... compromise is the name of the game (you have my sympathies). As others have illustrated above, you can have a much lighter, brighter version of greige than you currently have - but the possibilites are endless and I think you would have benefited by having a color consultant come over to talk to you BOTH. And help you narrow down some selections, of which you buy sample sizes and paint large posterboards (at least 4 x 4) that you move around the house and view at different times of day. You will see that some of these lighter shades that fall midway between white and a darker midtone (like you now have) will probably be the sweet spot that both your husband and you like. Sometimes the paint shops have consultants who charge a fee which is then credited towards paint. Even if you had to pay someone a hundred or 2, still would be money well spent in relation to cost of buying paint which you later have to paint over because you dont like!...See MorePatricia Colwell Consulting
