Behold!

Wheel in the sky...

K I T C H E N

Everyone’s favorite: BOWL SINKS

OH YEAH

Big, nice loft. No bathroom or closet though... I would have had them throw in a little reach-in if I were a buyer.

Watch my naked glistening body!!! It’s the guest suite so I guess that okay.

A simple, functional closet. I approve.

So then the mirror says to the carpenter, “I’ve been framed!” Dohohohoho

fancy boi

Walk-in shower, glass panels on order.

Deeply recessed toe kicks. This is actually a really good idea. You can comfortably rest your genitals on the countertop while you pop ingrown hairs on your neck.

Ever notice that everyone with a butler’s pantry never seems to have a butler? [cue Seinfeld outro theme]

Tile!

Taste the new-ness!!!

And now, I wait for the spirited replies.

I quite like this kitchen.

My previous house had glass bowl sinks.  God I hated those things.

Love the idea of a glass walk-in shower, preferably with a steam generator and built-in heated bench.

Absolutely hate those surface mount  bowl sinks though, whoever started that trend can crawl into a hole and die. I’m assuming it was somebody employed at HGTV.

that “atom nuclei” chandelier is kinda cool

Plus,  the backsplash has no function whatsoever anymore when it's lower than the sink...

I feel like in this case t he tile backslash should just cover the entire wall.

Not pleased with the ingrown hair imagery you forced on me

When I was a little kid, before we lived in the old project house, we lived in a 70s house (it wasn’t even very dated yet, this was the early-mid 80s, I am old) , and the family room had hanging globe light fixtures like in pic 3. Groovy.

Can’t stand bowl sinks. Fad needs to stop.

Fancy tub near the tall rectangular window is amusing, as the reflection of the adjacent tract houses doesn’t make it look very isolated, maybe the neighbor kids will get a show.

Everybody wants a fancy big tub; no one ever uses said tub.

Fuck bowl sinks with a rusty spoon. Now you have two surfaces to clean instead of one. Who the hell thought this was a good idea? The Department of Redundancy Department?

Same here, except for those dorky ball lights

Watch your head. An F-18 might try to land on that island.

Maybe if the bulbs were clustered like a nucleus, otherwise it just looks tacky

Truth! I can’t count the number of times I’ve walked through homes with master baths, and the tub has a nice layer of dust in it, from never, ever being used. Give me a nice, large walk-in shower, and put the jetted tub in the kids bathroom, they’d enjoy it more.

Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo > Highlander-Datsuns are Forever 09/04/2018 at 21:59

Nope,  they are basically the industry standard in master bathrooms for new construction.

Origami kitchen needs to get bent.

And yes, bowl sinks suck arse. One can’t rest the balls on the rim quite as easily with them. This is important.

I see that the small, sub-way tile for back-splash is on its way out in your area.

Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo > Deal Killer - Powered by Focus 09/04/2018 at 22:02

The new trend is painted glass backsplash. As in, large pieces. With or without seams under the hood , depending on your taste.

I don’t like my vapors so confined without proper ventilation.

Nicer homes will usually have a fan i n that water closet.

Shower with a bench, that’s my dream. although I would definitely use textured glass over clear...

thats pretty restrained compared to some of the other stuff you’ve posted. I’d build a soffit above the cabinets. I don’t like the dead space up there. I really like the chandelier in the stair but the dining room is a solid meh.

the kitchen backsplash is coming up on my list.  I have to finish casing a post first.

I mean, this was a post about lighting. Could we at least make an attempt to capture the mood from a garden bench out there. Set the scene a little .

Why do these all look bent/leaning?

It’s really tripping me out. I just want to reach through the picture and straighten them.

One thing I can say about the tub is at least they put th e fixtures on the inside toward the wall. Too many have them where you hav e to climb over and can get caught.

The backsplash at our place was higher but the faucet had this stupid plate on it and the combo lead to water on the mirror constantly. The sinks were a total pain to keep clean too. Not just the inside of the glass but they accumulated crap under them as well. Also somehow the toothpaste and floss always ended up rolling behind them where it was a pain to get out when you needed it in the morning.  Do not miss.

First kitchen: not bad, but the trend of GRAY ALL THE THINGS is much worse than the stupid bowl sinks.

Second kitchen: I kinda like those tiles!

And while I have your full, undivided attention: I have a foyer with a bigly tall ceiling. A fan with a light currently occupies the ceiling. Wife wants a non fan fixture of some sort and sent me a picture of one of these awful ball things which I vehemently opposed. What would Oppo’s resident lighting conisieur recommend?

I think the kitchen cabinets should go all the way up to the ceiling. But I’m tall, and shorter people might not like that. Undermount sinks are nice. The orbiting electron chandelier is kinda cool (the first one, not the second one).

Get one with less total rings and in brushed nickel/stainless instead of oil rubbed bronze. Wife gets what she wants but you get something a little less grotesque

Subway tile with charcoal grout? One fancy boi

If my house was built today instead of 10 years ago, it would look almost exactly like these . This is so generic current era that it kind of hurts.

But they still drop line shadows on everything no matter what they’re made of...

Thank god. I hate that garbage. Tile in general in a lot of places indoors is awful.

We all have fans in our poop closets. Mine has a rather large fan and a window...

I’ve gone to great lengths to expunge the oil rubbed bronze from this house. Yech.

I may look into it... She’s not set on the ball thingy, so I’m looking at other options.
