Hey all! Looking for TP holder ideas. We bought this house after this update was done and I can't find a good place for the toilet paper. This wire rack is flimsy and awkward and my cat knocks it over constantly šŸ˜’

Thanks for your thoughts!

After searching for several years and dreaming of the day when it would be mine, it finally is. Not in perfect condition but it has all of the original hardware and it hasnā€™t been completely destroyed by some horrible paint. The bin is still there and I have ordered a replacement for the sugar jar.

I don't like my cupboards and I was thinking of painting them. I was thinking white but I'm not sure if that would be too much white because of the backsplash. Is anyone able to make the cupboards white so I could see it? TIA. šŸ™‚

We just had our house (just purchased this minth) leveled. It was 3 inches out of level from the center to the outer edges. So big movement! Now we have this huge gap at the bottom of the front door. The threshold is already super tall and wide. A tripping hazard!!!! Several have already tripped I donā€™t want to just put weatherstripping down. What else can I do?

A is this weekā€™s color plates! And B is the ones I got last year, or the year before. I canā€™t remember. This time they are more neon, lighter colors. šŸŽ‰
Iā€™ve been wishing they had matching bowls the last year I had them, my store apparently got them but only ONE bowl set?!? One which was grabbed immediately.
But these are my favorite plates all time!

Looking for suggestions for new front door color. Had red for 15 years and a bit over it. I just can't find anything I like. Door is fiberglass and is not getting replaced (it's in perfect condition) so no wood. Not wanting black or white. Only interested in door color suggestions and please be kind.
Other color ideas?

Iā€™m the second owner of a 1902 Iowa farmhouse, which had been vacant for 10 years before I got my hands on it. During the renovation, I found a 1935 date, which I believe marks when the two-story porch addition and kitchen remodel took place. The kitchen still has original wood cabinets built right into the space.
I knew one ceiling was about a foot lower than the others in the house, which all have 9-foot ceilings. I hadnā€™t planned on tearing it down until I had to install a support beam to reinforce the upstairs bathroom. Thatā€™s when I uncovered the tin ceiling and noticed the years of damage from a leaking bathroom. This kick-started the long journey of restoration!
The rest of the house has a classic 1902 Victorian style, but because the 1930s-40s cabinetry was still in great shape, I decided not to replace it. Instead, I aimed to blend the two styles together. šŸ„°
One of my main priorities was bringing in more natural light to the kitchen, so I reopened an old window space behind the stove. The vent hood is made from a vintage headboard I found in the attic! I also moved the laundry to the porch and opened up the chimney wall to create a built-in buffet and bar area for the dining room. I discovered the original maple floors underneath and had them refinished beautifully! I even added upper cabinets that are actually bread boxes, which you can fold up for a decorative look or keep closed for extra storage.
The countertops are custom walnut slabs, planed to 1ā€ thick for a vintage vibe. The support beam was necessary to hold up the bathroom, and while I tried to find matching tin for the ceiling, I couldnā€™t. I did find a hammered tin border and smaller crown molding, which I used to replace the damaged tin on the other side of the beam. The dishwasher is tucked to the side because it has two fold-out bins, and I didnā€™t want to lose the cabinetry near the sink!

Can someone do some magic and possible AI to give me some inspo for my kitchen. This kitchen can one day be remodeled but for now what could I do to make this look better. My style is ā€œmodern organicā€
Iā€™m looking into paint and just decor. Iā€™d love to see some designs bc I truly feel defeated looking at this.

My husband and I bought 17 acres back in 2020. We had builders fall through and were 2 weeks away from closing on another mortgage for a new house.. I was tired of us paying 2 mortgages (our land and home) so I had the bright idea to buy a manufactured home and put it on our property. Best decision and best $6500 weā€™ve spent. She is close to being completed. Weā€™ve depleted our savings getting utilities, and gutting our house to our standards but manā€¦in 2 years weā€™ll be 39&40 mortgage free. Iā€™m planting my first garden this year!
