      Yeah when I was young I used to love that NYC brownstone, exposed brick wall vibe. I did a ton of research on how to do one that feels real. I never actually ended up doing it, but they sell super thin brick fronts on a piece of mesh that you can put up on your wall using mortar and grout. It’s supposed to be meant for drywall and super lightweight but I’d imagine it would still end up being heavy.

    When we moved into our current home 32 years ago, we had 10 people living here (us, our six kids and two students). Instead of making a huge laundry room, we plumbed an area in the basement for a second laundry area. The older kids who lived in the bedrooms (all had egress windows) down there did their own laundry. When they all moved out, we gave away the washer and dryer. We "decommissioned" the extra plumbing. We may, one day, turn that area into an apartment, in which case, the plumbing will come in handy.

      Yes removing a bath can devalue your home, but it also depends on the home.

    That bathroom. How does one go through the process of deciding to renovate their bathroom, create a moodboard (I assume), learn all the tricks of the trade etc, and yet be so ignorant of basic design terminology as to call this style mid-century modern?? It's bizarre. Like people are using the terms MCM and minimalist interchangeably. This makes my blood boil.

    Good heavens, that first kitchen. She totally ruined what could have been a great space. But, Big Bird did not get murdered there because Big Bird wouldn't be caught dead there; just sayin 😜Question on the no tub thing. The main bathroom in our next house has a ridiculous tub, 14 high by about 20 wide. None of us can fit in there comfortably, so converting it to a shower would make sense. However, i've read that not having a bathtub hurts the resale value. We're not planning on selling the house (it's currently my mother's house and she wants to keep it in the family forever), but you never know. It would make a great tub for babies and little tots, but not for anyone much older than that -- and the vanity is also 30 inches high, which is another project. OY! Anyway, great video as always, DD 🙂

    I thought you were going to dis the slatted barndoor on the playroom. I like it a lot, but as you pointed out, it is a focal point on that wall and probably within the room. It is there but not quite, adding big artwork on the door will define it as a definite focal point. DD, is so astute.
    (still curious how the hardware doesn't show. Hope they didn't photoshop it out of the pic)
    YES, some of these "brilliant ideas", lead so many people into complete disasters. Just goes to show you how many people don't question what they see and hear. They do not even consider or think it through to wonder if it even makes sense.
    Highly entertaining post DD.

    People also need to understand that, unless you plan to live in that house forever, you should never go crazy/weird/personal with the designs, because when you go to sell the house, nobody will want it. It's like those super personalized mansions owned by celebrities. Michael Jordan cannot sell his estate because nobody wants to live in that hideous, personalized place.

    Really? When?
    I might have showered twice ONE day in 60 yrs.
    When I’ve been really sick I can’t stand. But I can bathe in a tub :))
    Also when I hurt my back, twice, my tub was indispensable.
    Sure, put in a nice shower. But keep the tub too.

    It really is crazy how that floating vanity really does create more room, but only in our minds. I am going to do that in my bathroom, it isn't that small, but it could always look bigger. Have you seen the floor to ceiling shelves in bathrooms where two perpendicular walls meet? They are no more than 18" wide but with a canceled led strip, that does the same thing as the floating vanity, It negates that inside corner, and makes it look like there is much more space.
    Backlight mirrors do about the same thing, adding more dimension to that flat plain.
