have you ever been in the bathtub and suddenly realize you needed to check something on your computer?






or maybe just watch that scenario happen to someone else while you sit in a comfortable chair?



This year a lot of people had to quickly cobble together a home office wherever they could find space, okay.

The ''loft'' style master bedroom on the 2nd floor has a balcony overlooking the living room, a two sitting areas, a large walk-in-closet and skylights at the top!

We've seen a few houses with these master bedroom overlooking living space, and I don't get it. Walls and doors are good, I love walls. With no wall, anyone in the living space is gonna hear it if you're loving or masturbating or watching porn or whatever. Want to go to bed early while the rest of the family is watching TV? Well gently caress you because all that light and noise is piped right into your bedroom.

Why would anyone want this?

I cannot imagine having enough money to waste and loving pool enough to buy this and put it in your own home, but not having the space for an actual pool table.

Look, I can't defend it, but I would 100 percent love to live there, provided it's not a climb I have to make frequently. But like, climbing up through a little hole into a small, comfortable room where I can relax by myself sounds.... Wonderful. I can't explain why it seems better than a small comfortable room at the top of a flight of stairs, but it does.

It's because your inner child knows Mom won't follow you up there.

What ever happened to linoleum? I've lived dozens of places and they all had lino in the bathroom and kitchen. A couple had lino tiles, which are awful and filthy, but sheet lino has always been a friend to me. Now people talk like it's not even an option anymore.

I like the panelling. Lots of people like wood. It makes sense to keep it if you like it because there is no telling what will be on trend when you sell.

There was a time when everyone was covering their hardwood floors with wall to wall carpet. Fashions change.

It's me, I'm the disgusting monster who prefers it with the pink carpet.

It is a very pretty colour and room looks friendly and inviting. It does have an advantage vs. most carpet in that the colour won't hide dirt at all. If it isn't kept clean you'll know it.

The Zillow search term of the day is "serial killer"





In 1979 this person made a positive comment about a happy face. This lead to 3 people in their family buying them a happy faced theme thing for their upcoming birthday. Friends and family saw the 3 happy face items in their room and said "oh, you collect happy faces". Ever since then every gift received for any occasion has had a happy face.

Person doesn't even like happy faces much, but now it is much too late to say anything.

Queen Victoria died in January 1901 you colonial. The Victorian era is a third of the period you mention as good, and none of the period you don't. Do you mean Edwardian, instead, or do Americans reserve the period after Victoria for "Victorian" in architecture?

The Victorian era happened later in in North America due to travel times.

which community colleges have saarinen tables and bertoia chairs

It may surprise you to learn that many people can't tell the difference between one plastic and wire chair and another. If a chair costs $2000 and looks similar to the ones in the school cafeteria, then it will remind some people of the ones in the school cafeteria. Don't worry about it though, those people are uncultured plebs.

Lawyer foyer?

A lavish lifeless 2 story foyer of useless space that exists solely to impress guests. A big useless space in a mcmansion that proves you are rich and fancy enough to have a big useless space. Often done in the style of a high end office or hotel.

Except Americans are animals and don't take off their shoes so :shrug:

The chair right next to the table would be real handy for putting shoes on and off too. But that will never happen, because that picture is from america. It's like there is an ancestral memory of things that should be in a foyer, but it has become untethered from reality and now includes pianos.

Kitchen islands work fine when the kitchen is laid out sensibly and the house has enough space. There is no conceivable layout that would make that kitchen not a pain in the rear end, island or no. Try to imagine where you could put counter space or appliances with walkways to both sides of the fridge, an exterior wall on one side, and a bathroom to another. I feel like I'm looking at one of the ways kitchen toilets happen.

It looks like it used to be a U or L shaped kitchen. The window on the back left is higher than the ones in the foreground, indicating that there could have been counters under it. The counters wouldn't have been continuous because of all the doorways, but there's plenty of room for counters along the walls if you remove the island.
