nearly done! this was the first big project of our new house: fixing up our future bedroom. entire ceiling and walls were knockdown / popcorn texture that we plastered over and smoothed out (weeks of work), nasty carpet pulled up to reveal beaten floor which my wife sanded down (learning on the go). years and years of gross buildup scraped away, bit by bit. it's starting to look like a proper room now...

Which brand is best for tiles?

[heirloomcaterpilllar442]

Types of Flooring as People

Laminate- cleanliness is next to godliness, always wearing some crisp new accessory, the spellcheck friend, keeps their toenails nice and short so they don't click together, will have handwipes and tissues in their bag, not a germaphobe but likes to be helpful and tidy, would never sneak out of the house without leaving a detailed itinerary for their parents, has a secret penchant for eating pencil erasers, and will say they are always there for you and yet put their phone on silent the minute they are sleepy.

Hardwood- always up for adventure, rough and tumble, rare to find in just any house, holds many secrets and never shares yours, loves to find a good pair of boots, would die to meet Indiana Jones IRL and does not acknowledge the reality that characters are fictional, finds the best in the simplest things, always resourceful, will hound you if they sense something is wrong, and very superstitious. (knock on wood!)

Tile- cold when you first meet them, brisk attitude, likes people with gray eyes, can usually be found reading in the bathroom at any given social gathering, is calculating your every move, will shatter you if you drop too much on them, hard to put down and even harder to replace once you've lost them, some people may say it's hard to be their friend but it's only because they expect the same loyalty and energy they would give someone who they truly love and admire, wears wire rimmed glasses or loves a good rainy day- maybe both.

Vinyl- crazy about records (obviously), loves vintage cameras and little pocketwatches, a little eccentric around the edges but really down to earth at heart, would drop it all to go thrifting, always has a devious shopping related sparkle in their eye, jumps to help someone in case they may be gifted with an iced coffee, has never been to a trampoline park bc they think that would be weird, very much hopes people think they are at least a little cool, wants to be THAT mysterious stranger you can never forget about, and hates when people underestimate the value of a good public library because oh boy, they are infatuated with the world.

Carpet- cozy, sleepy, unattainably cute, high maintenance, cries at the drop of a hat- will cry over spilled milk!- listens to a lot of lo-fi playlists and Alec Benjamin/Cavetown-eque music, has a lot of buddies but few who understand how much they truly are happier in a comfortable bed or sofa by the gentle sunlight where they can stretch out like a cat and sleep for eons, will be the first to fall in love with a stranger because they can't help but imagine a future with them, and has a signature sweater that they wear so they will be comfy always.

Concrete- works hard, impossible to crumble, will always have your back, versatile personality, easy to make up with after a fight, has some of the strongest family ties you'll ever see, always returns to their roots, if you make an impact on their lives they will leave one on you in a bigger way, probably always rocking out to a song they've created in their heads, dyed and heavy hair, stomps like a madman but is overall just a solid person, once they build their walls against you, good luck ever hurting them again.

Cork- sometimes an afterthought to their friends, super reliable though, always up for the worst of challenges, not afraid to face the truth, adaptable, a go getter, full of cheer and appetite for what others may not truly appreciate, very gets along very well with Concrete, is afraid of missing the moment and growing up too fast, dreams of a space of their own, naturally attracts interesting stories, has a unique and cheeky catchphrase, and never fails to leave the door open in silent hopes they will catch a big and cool bug.

Tag yourself!!

Top Painting Solutions for a Stunning Home Transformation in the GTA

You don't need to renovate an entire house to make it a transformed home. Paint can work wonders in freshening up your interior spaces. Whether you're selling, beautifying an already beautiful house, or just making changes, the right painting solution can dramatically improve how your house looks and feels. Let the GTA professional painting service turn your home transformation into an amazing, long-lasting masterpiece.

We discuss in this blog the top ranked painting solutions that can change your house and explain why hiring professionals in GTA is the way to go for an absolutely perfect finish.

1. Best Interior Painting Solutions: Set the Right Mood

Interior house colors could create an atmosphere in the rooms, which can have an effect on what their owners think about them. Color combinations can either make rooms feel cozy and spacious or just warm and welcoming. Among the best interior painting solutions are:

Neutral Colors for a Long Lasting Aesthetic: White, beige, and grey are so light and versatile in shade that they can work with almost any decor. They especially work well in small rooms, as they open up a space and make it seem larger.

Strong Accent Walls: For a more dramatic appearance, bold-colored accent walls in deep blue or rich green can add personality without overwhelming the space. Or try a bright pop of yellow.

Texture and Finishes: To achieve a more glamorous look, textured paint finishes like matte, satin, or eggshell will add depth and level the space, resulting in a modern, sophisticated ambiance.

2. Exterior Painting Solutions: Making a Big Impression on Your Front Door

Well, after all, it is the outdoor look that people notice right first, hence making it look fresh and maintained will be the key feature to be enhanced in appeal. In the GTA, where the weather can batter home exteriors, the choice of exterior paint solutions is crucial so your house looks great and stands up well to the elements.

Weather-Resistant Paint: High-quality, weather-resistant paint. This paint will last long without easy chipping, cracking, or peeling off in the snow and rain and ultraviolet rays, hence very durable.

Be in Vogue Colour Trends: Neutral shades of charcoal, slate gray, and soft beige are highlighting modern and clean designs for the exterior. For emphasis on a power punch of color, try adding a bold red, navy blue, or even black door to create a great contemporary finish.

Eco-Friendly Paint: As the GTA region becomes more conscious of the environment, homeowners are getting more and more selective about the earth-friendly ways that go easy on the inhabitants as well. For them, eco-friendly, low-VOC paints are the ideal choice, for they are safer to the environment yet carry magnificent durability for any exteriors.

3. Feature Walls: Adding Dimension and Character

A feature wall is an eye-catching feature of any room without overcrowding the space. Feature walls feature greatly as trends in living rooms, dining rooms, and bed rooms. Feature walls can add dimensions to the aesthetic appeal of your home through bold coloration or a textural finish.

Wood or Brick Impressions: The popularity of faux wood and brick-effect paints is very high, as they provide a ruggedly textured look without using actual material. Walls created using this type of paint can give your home an industrial or vintage appearance.

Geometric Patterns: A popular choice used for creating geometric patterns on walls with contrasting colors. This is such a modern, artistic feel for a home office or creative space.

4. Painting the Ceiling - The Fifth Wall

One often forgets the ceiling-it has been referred to as the "fifth wall"-and painting the ceiling in a colour other than standard white can greatly change the atmosphere of a room.

Softening the Vertical Elements: Light shades of blue or soft pastels can make a room feel taller and open up more, creating an airy atmosphere.

Drama Effects : To create an effect that is quite dramatic, a deep contrasting colour can be painted on the ceiling. Creating a warm or intimate ambiance to a space, this effect is most effective where spaces have soaring ceilings.

5. GTA Professional Painting Services

While DIY painting may appear to be frugal, professional painters in the GTA can guarantee a finish that lasts. There are several key advantages that experts provide for homeowners:

Better Preparation Surface preparation is necessary because, without it, the finish will never be smooth and durable. Professional painters handle all of the necessary prep work, such as filling holes, sanding, and priming surfaces.

Professional Quality Tools and Equipment Professional painters utilize the highest grades of paints, brushes, and rollers to achieve resilient and consistent results. Also, due to their access to higher-grade environmental options, they have the capability to work in a more ecologically friendly manner-ideal for an ecologically concerned homeowner.

Time-Efficiency: Painting the whole house is very time-consuming while trying to balance with work, family activities and other daily responsibilities. Professional painters tend to complete a job in the shortest time possible with minimum interference with your daily routine.

Guaranteed Results: Professionals in the GTA offer guarantees for their work. As long as the working conditions are perfect, paint job meets the expectations, and conforms to the high standards that the painting companies have.

6. How to Select a Painting Company in the GTA

Experience, reviews, and portfolios of projects completed are the considerations in the selection of a painting contractor in the GTA. Look for interior and exterior painting companies that can do comprehensive services like color consultation, preparation, and cleanup.

Also, the contractor should ensure that only quality material suitable for GTA climate is used. It's also a wise idea to request for eco-friendly as well as VOC low paint options if the owner of the home wants an environment-friendly home.

Conclusion

The best thing about making it a more glamorous abode is to invest in professional painting solutions. Whether you want its exteriors refreshed or be that cozy inviting interior, the right paint job makes all the difference. To homeowners in the GTA, working with experienced painters ensures that your home remains beautiful, functional, and protected from the elements.

At noon yesterday I got tired of sitting on the couch (probably that was like the oven timer in my brain telling me "oop! you're done being sick now!") so I decided to remodel my closet a little bit.

I was done with not being able to reach any of the clothes on the back of the bar, or access the floor space and top shelf in the recess. Solution: reorient the bar so it only occupies the recess.

I pulled everything out, removed the bar and shelf (really just some unpainted boards-- I kind of love finishing other people's slapdash DIY) and painted the closet a nice clean white that was leftover from my kitchen. The satin finish should reflect a little extra light in there. Then while the paint was drying, I sorted my clothes, removed what I don't wear, and took a quick (not) trip to the city. Dropped off the clothes at the thrift store, couldn't help shopping a bit and got 5 new cookbooks and some pillowcases and curtains, and went to the ReStore to get some hardware for the closet.

Back home, I cut a new wooden hanger bar, installed the new brass brackets for it, put the shelf back in and put my clothes away. I changed the ancient yellowy lightbulb to a bright LED (finally a use for that glaring white light!) and also installed some brass hooks (salvaged from a local building before it was torn down) for my ties and belts. And found a place for my guitar where I might actually play it sometimes!

I did lose about half the hanging space from this change, but I knew that going in. I consider it a good trade for making the closet feel bigger and much more accessible, and it'll force me to be choosier about the clothing I buy.

I have these ugly fluorescent relics in the bathroom that I need to replace, but the placement is so weird and the ceiling is sloped.

What should I replace these with?

[disclaimer: ignore the plastic I was doing stuff, also yes I'm definitely going to replace the over sink fixture but that one is easier]

1. Cage Edison fixtures? might be kind of weird to just have 3 in a row like that?

2. Boob lights! I'm kidding I'm not doing that.

3. Recessed lighting? This would be best but takes a lot of work (have to make a bigger hole in the ceiling and I don't know wtf is up there this place is...an adventure)

4. Really some sort of flush led thing would be the most practical but. just no.

5. Got any bright (hehe) ideas?
