Accessibility tip:

If you want to automate your home a bit, but you don't want any "smart" tech, you can just buy remote controlled power sockets instead

They are a lot cheaper and easier to set up and use than some home automation smart tech nonsense

They don't need an app (but some models come with optional apps and there are apps that are compatible with most of these)

Many of them use the 433mhz frequency to communicate, which makes most models compatible with each other, even if they are from different manufacturers

The tech has been around for a long time and will be around for a long time to come

You don't have to put any fucking corporate listening devices like an amazon echo in your home

Models for outdoors exist as well

Selecting Ideal Sliding Doors for Your House: An Overview of Types and Styles 

Choosing room doors for your house is an essential aspect of interior decor for modern homes and sliding doors have become increasingly popular for their space-saving and aesthetically pleasing features. This comprehensive overview will elaborate on the various kinds and styles of sliding bedroom doors, guiding you through the selection process to ensure you find the ideal fit for your home. 

1. Classic Pocket Doors: 

Classic pocket doors are an excellent choice for those looking to maximize space through modern bedroom doors. These doors slide into the wall, completely disappearing from view when open. They are ideal for small rooms or areas where a hinged door might be impractical. Classic pocket doors offer a seamless transition between spaces and a clean, uncluttered look. 

2. Barn Doors: 

Barn doors are in trend for their rustic charm and versatility. Mounted on a track, barn doors slide horizontally and are often used to close off rooms like bedrooms or pantries. Available in various materials such as reclaimed wood, metal, or glass, these room doors can add a touch of character to both traditional and modern interiors. 

3. Sliding Glass Doors: 

Sliding glass doors are famous for seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor spaces. They flood interiors with natural light and provide unobstructed views of the surroundings. Typically featuring large glass panels, sliding bedroom doors are energy-efficient and contribute to the home's open and airy feel. 

4. French Sliding Doors: 

Combining the elegance of French doors with the functionality of sliding doors, French sliding doors feature multiple panels that slide open on a track. Bedroom door manufacturers present these as an excellent option for those who want to add a touch of sophistication to their space while retaining the benefits of a sliding door, such as space efficiency. 

5. Accordion Doors: 

Accordion doors are a practical solution for dividing larger spaces or creating flexible room layouts. These doors have multiple panels that fold and slide along a track, allowing for customizable configurations. Accordion doors are versatile and can be used in residential and commercial settings. 

6. Multi-Panel Sliding Doors: 

House door manufacturers offer multi-panel sliding doors with several individual panels that slide independently. This design allows for greater flexibility in controlling the opening size. These doors are ideal for larger openings, such as those leading to patios or decks, providing a modern aesthetic. 

7. Flush Sliding Doors: 

For a minimalist and contemporary look, consider flush sliding doors. These doors sit flush with the surrounding walls, creating a seamless, unobtrusive appearance. Flush sliding doors are an excellent choice for modern interiors where clean lines and simplicity are prioritized. 

8. Mirrored Sliding Doors: 

Mirrored sliding doors fit a dual goal by acting as a functional door and a full-length mirror. These doors are trendy in bedrooms and dressing areas, providing convenience and the illusion of more space. Mirrored sliding doors are available in various frame styles to suit different design preferences. 

9. Paneled Sliding Doors: 

Paneled sliding doors feature decorative panels that add visual interest to the door surface. These panels can be customized to match the overall design theme of the space, whether it's traditional, contemporary, or eclectic. These bedroom doors are a versatile option that adds a touch of personality to any room. 

The Bottom Line 

Selecting the ideal sliding living room doors for your house involves considering both practicality and aesthetics. The diverse range of sliding door types and styles lets you find the perfect fit for your home, whether you prioritize space efficiency, rustic charm, or a modern look. By exploring the options mentioned in this overview, you can opt for the one that enhances your living space's functionality and visual appeal.

the other day we were talking about balance beams because you said that your family had one of those cool winch ones that wrap around trees to make a high wire. even though i was pretty good i had to quit gymnastics at 12 because we couldn't afford dance and gymnastics but. i had something-other.

and i got excited because i think it's a funny story. i didn't have a door for about 4 years. 13-17, or there about. i only got it back because i replaced it myself.

i think my dad took it off the hinges just because his very-macho friend david had said - i do this to punish my kids. and then about a week later it was down on the ground and then eventually rotting in a shed. i used to visit it on occasion and tilt it between two boxes so i could try to walk across the side of it. i have a scar on my foot from attempting the act of balance-beam fancy dancing. it's shaped like a crescent moon. a hinge sliced into my skin when the whole thing slipped out from underneath me.

and you looked at me and you said - what the fuck?

and i said, do you want to see? because i thought the thing you were replying to was the injury. i was already undoing my shoelaces.

you're supposed to have a door, you said slowly. you were a teenager. you - i've seen your house. you lived at the end of the hall.

i didn't understand the problem. so? i wriggled out of my shoe and then my sock.

so, you said it gently, which made me slow down. you said it in the way people tell me that i experienced something bad and i have no idea that it was supposed to be something-else instead. anyone coming down the stairs or in the hallway could see directly into your room. you were in a fishbowl for four years, am i understanding that correctly?

i stared at you, and then said the other things: well, it wasn't so bad. i just wore a towel and tucked myself into a corner to change. i could always just change in the bathroom. privacy didn't really exist for any of us. i wasn't allowed to decorate so it wasn't really my room anyway. i didn't have a lot of things growing up; so it's not like i minded having a semi-public space. my siblings left me alone if i needed them to. what's the big deal anyway.

this is accidentally what emotional vampires incorrectly label as a "trauma dump". this is accidentally how you learn that my house was actually unsafe. i don't even consider this a problem, because everything else was so much worse, in a way. i didn't know it was supposed to be different. at the time, i didn't know what privacy was. i just lied about most stuff and got good at hiding in public. i haven't ever lied about this because i didn't know it was supposed to be different. i am 31.

you looked pale and ready to throw up. you had a right to a door for your room. you were a kid. someone should have helped you.

i was busy examining the sole of my foot. the scar really does look like the moon.

Chat about the young’un from 1610

[morganbritton132]

Eddie tells Wayne everything. They’re very open and honest with each other. Always have been.

Steve, on the other hand, does not talk to his parents unless he absolutely has to. If they asked him what his favorite song was, he’d lie.

So, it’s a bit of a shock when they’re back in Eddie’s bedroom, making out. Things are getting heated and Steve can hear Eddie fumbling one-handed in the drawer of his nightstand right before he mutters, “Shit.”

Steve asks, “What?”

“Nothing,” Eddie says, pulling back a bit. “Just give me a second.”

Steve watches him slide off the bed, throw open the door, and practically shout, “Hey Wayne, do you got any condoms?”

Steve is so mortified that he dissociates for a second and then leaves out the window so he doesn’t have to pass Wayne on the way out.

(almost) four years in, and I finally had time to draw something for the anniversary! woo! 🎉🎉🎉

[pangur-and-grim]

after breaking my leg, I had to travel to my parents house (so that they could lower food into my mouth while I recline like an ailing Victorian), and UNFORTUNATELY this has had consequences for Grim.

she's terrified of their 120lb dog. my bedroom upstairs is safe from the dog, but I can't go up stairs, so she's been alone up there all week, and has been losing weight because she's reluctant to come out even for food.

the solution? my mother hauled her downstairs like a sack of flour and locked her, screaming, into the sick room with me and Pangur. this will be better for Grim's health longterm, but she can't help but protest her loss of freedom

(please note, she is also purring heavily in between screams, and begging for belly rubs)

I know Odysseus would've been a great dad because if I'd gone to sleep and woke up to the sound of my crew opening the wind bag, I would've snapped and killed someone. But he just laid down in defeat and thought of killing himself

Prompt 334

So. Danny has discovered he might erm, might be technically a necromancer. At least as far as magic is concerned. Like even if it’s just via resurrecting himself the magic side of things (god, he’s more scientist- sided dangit) count it as such. 

Which means that half the time someone tries to summon a necromancing-esque being, he’s the one who gets tugged if he’s even a centimeter within range. It was annoying enough in high school, it’s no less annoying in this world they’ve all moved to. 

On the bright side, thanks to also being half dead himself, the summonings and other rituals can’t actually drag him somewhere. It just causes him to feel like someone was crushing a lung or two, which honestly nothing new. (Gosh were those days of vigilante work really that violent? Huh, guess they were)

What he wasn’t expecting was for a tiny child, a living child, to track him down despite him not existing legally or anything similar in this world, to revive their previous local child vigilante. Which like, hey, first of all, he has a few questions? Just a couple and yeah sure, he’ll shake on it- can he have your name first there kid…? 

Tim, on the other hand, is getting a little concerned when he realizes a lot of the questions the probable-fae keeps asking are in line with the stuff CPS asks. (Unknown to him, that is exactly where Danny is getting several of his questions about this scrawny vigilante kid. Erm. He might have to take the kid, for like, his own safety- hey Frostbite he needs your help he has some questions-)

remember when annabeth referred to percy as her “friend” in HoH, because nothing, not even “boyfriend,” properly described what he meant to her? do you think the fact that annabeth and percy are each others’ best friend ever confuses people?

like imagine someone, let’s call them ava, is new to the demigod gang and asks percy who his best friend is. to which he would obviously answer annabeth. (or vice versa.) and then ava she sees them interact - laughing their butts off together, making inside jokes, hugging, play fighting, bickering, being affectionate, teasing each other, etc. - and she sees the clear heat behind their eyes and the chemistry between them. ava thinks that she is such a good detective and is SO onto them. so imagine ava going up to the others and saying “guys i can’t be 100% sure, but im pretty confident that there’s something going on between percy and annabeth. and yes, i know that they are best friends and all, but i really think there’s some stuff happening behind closed doors.” and everyone just staring at her like she’s a certified idiot until someone says something, likely leo going “no shit sherlock. they’ve been together for like 3 years, so i’d certainly hope there’s some stuff going on behind closed doors”

and i love the thought of it staying that way forever, even when they are all grown and married. imagine annabeth’s coworkers ask her who her best friend is and she points to percy, and he comes over and they’re teasing each other and hip bumping and laughing and just being so funny and cute together, like besties are, and her co-workers think hmm, that husband of hers who she’s mentioned must have some competition. only to later realize that this guy who’s her best friend IS that husband of hers.

it would have to take the right scenario because as we’ve seen, percy and annabeth are very PDA. but if they refer to each other as their best friend to someone new, and then aren’t kissing every 5 minutes (a rare occurrence), then i’d bet they might REALLY confuse some people. and the thought makes me giggle
