I don't understand the whole utility room thing. Washing machines are fine in the kitchen, why do you need a whole separate room? I live in the UK and I see more and more listings with them on. I'd rather have an additional toilet or shower room

Haifisch posted:The idea of putting a washing machine in the kitchen is baffling to me as an American. Like, I get how it could happen(you're running plumbing there anyway), but it seems like it'd be really awkward to live with. Do you just shove it in a corner where it's out of the way of normal kitchen workflow, or what? They go under the sink usually. If you have a dishwasher, that goes right beside it for minimum plumbing add ons. Tumble dryer (if you have one) goes anywhere there is a plug socket. Things tend to be under counter. UK houses/flats are also loving tiny compared to USA so it is weird to me to carve off a bit of an already small space. Think it is linked to kitchens becoming much more of an open to visitors / entertaining space than they used to be, so 'unsightly' functions have to be moved elsewhere

We do that too. Washing machine is normally off to one side and the cleaning stuff is in the cupboard

vonnegutt posted:Where do people in the UK store their water heaters? Every "utility room" I've had growing up in the USA is the same room as the water heater and main breaker box. It usually stores general tools and cleaning supplies as well. Wherever is convenient due to layout! Houses and flats: Most boilers I've seen (water and gas central heating) are either in the kitchen or an "airing cupboard" where you can store laundry. Bungalow: Sometimes in the loft or bathroom. But generally it can and does go anywhere there is space/facility Fuse boxes also wherever! I've seen them in the cellar, in a cupboard under the stairs, in the main hallway and in one of the smaller bedrooms. Sloth Life fucked around with this message at 09:26 on Aug 3, 2017 |

In relation to Prada Slut eames chair, what are the original classic designs that inspired the copies? What classic pieces should Joe Bloggs be looking for instead of ripoffs?

Made it to the end! American houses are fascinating. Half a million UK gets you a shoebox in comparison. On the other hand American houses are huge and cold and weirdly unwelcoming Here's a UK house https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-71490847.html Sloth Life fucked around with this message at 19:55 on Feb 3, 2020 |

In my defence you could fit 3 UK bedrooms in one mcmansion executive sleeping suite. A legit double is 10ft by 10ft apparently.

It looks so friggin cold and lifeless inside. I can't imagine anyone who sheds skin cells, sweats and slops coffee when they walk ever touching the icy white surfaces. Its a house for robots and ghosts. Also Scotland cold wet and muddy y'all. Definitely a good place for an all white house

Youth Decay posted:It's all different houses. The first photo is an untouched ~1940s apartment kitchen with GE Fridge and compact Magic Chef stove. If your great-grandparents were working-class they probably cooked in a kitchen like that. Ok that makes sense. The GE fridge and the sink are all rusty right? And what i thought was a weird American top loader is actually an oven? Cool.
