Me either? The layout of this house is atrocious.

Nice details, that wallpaper looks spendy, not many people use it any more. I do hope that old brass finish ceiling fixture is temporary.
Almost never see wall paper anymore......I was good at that too....my grandma was a pro.
As far as customer interference i have many stories.
One was a man who told me that he spent 80K on his cabinets...and that he expected my installation to be perfect. I approached him and said respectfully. "Nothing I do is perfect and it is not too late to get someone else" His response " Oh....um no you go ahead."
More recently I was sent to install cabinets and counters on a third floor business office. Job super says stuff wont fit in elevator and he offered to help me carry it up a narrow dog leg stairway. His attempt at helping was lame and he actually was making things worse so I instructed him to let go. When we got up there he stood there as I got ready to take measurements and begin. I asked "Are you going to watch".... "Yes" he said "and to help"
I looked him dead in the eye and replied "If you want to help me go and disappear for a while. So he did. Its not arrogance....it is self assured and I dont take #^&#^&#^&#^& from any customers

I work at the fire house with a guy, in his early 60s who still hangs paper on a regular basis. He is a painter but does a lot of wall paper. I didn't think there was a demand for it but I guess its a high end thing. From what I hear he is not cheap.

Never been crazy about island sinks, always think the funky loop vent isn’t going to work well. I like the scale of these, as I’ve said I like small kitchens.
The last one with the blue island looks nice though I don’t care for the fridge. No issue with French Doors but fridge drawers are a failure point so why add another pair. Also not totally loving the floor choice but I’d need to see it in person before I render a final verdict. Not really a fan of wood or wood finishes for a kitchen.

Thanks......the island sink venting has never been a problem when done correctly. As far as hardwood in the kitchen you are in the minority. I agree about small kitchens....more efficient. I like to be one or two steps from everything when I cook.

Just because I may be in the minority doesn’t mean everybody else isn’t wrong :hee:
For me it’s about visual stability and function. A kitchen can be a chaotic place and long planks create a sense of movement. I also like a little contrast from a wood floor and it makes the kitchen look a place to work.
Agreed....this is just the current trend.....and will most likely pass.
Wasnt demeaning your opinion so dont be sensitive.
Theres a reason being a critic is the easiest job in the world. Everybody is so good at it. Spence without your comments it wouldnt be worth posting my crap.
