I just painted this dresser and I don’t love it. Any suggestions on what to do? Maybe to tone it down a bit.

I spent a few hours cat proofing the basement ceiling and this is what I see this morning 🤷‍♂️

The backsplash is currently being tiled. I just came home and saw that he took the tiles all the way to the end of the wall. My kitchen designer had told me a while back that they should stop at the cabinet edge. I texted the designer, but I'm not sure she'll respond on a Saturday. He can remove what's been done already and redo it, but he said he did this because it's close to the cooktop, so it would be better for cleaning purposes. This is how it was in the 'before' configuration, and the designer said it was wrong. Help! I need expert opinions quickly! Thank you!

I have a really awkward spot in my home that used to have carpet! What should I do with this? I was thinking plants, but it’s so high that I won’t have a way to water them. Any suggestions? 😬

This quilt was made by my great grandmother from Tyler Town, MS. She died in 1955. This is hand stitched but has significant damage. I would like to know what the pattern is called and if anyone can point me to information about preserving it and repair. TIA.

What would y’all do here?

Hi all! Buying a coop with this dated kitchen. What would you all do to remodel?

I’m thinking a first step is to paint the cabinets. What should I do next?

Edit: all of these kind comments 🥲 I haven’t even shared this on my public instagram because I know i will get some hate. I found my people 🤩 Excited to be a part of this group - finally painted my kitchen and so obsessed with COLOR! I love groups like this because the internet has inspired me to not shy away from color 💚

I know folks in this group will be honest with me. If you don’t agree please don’t feel the need to be snotty or rude. When I saw this curtain I fell in love with it but it’s a shower curtain and I decided to use it as a window curtain does it look OK
