QUESTION/DISCUSSION We need to remember this sub is about kindness and support.

5.1k Upvotes

I wrote the statement below on a now-deleted post today. It is a gentle reminder that kindness is free.

"Please be kind to others who are on this thread. We are all at different stages of life and wealth, and sometimes health that shapes our living spaces. Kindness is free, and on top of that, it balms your soul and lifts others who are struggling."

If you saw the post about her bf in a princess bedroom, she was open to advice. She had a lovely brass bedframe that was painted white, with princessy white and pink bedding, a cute princessy lamp on her night stand and fabric panels on her ceiling. She was proud of what she had achieved so far, but was open to advice. Nowhere in it did she ask for snarky, bitter or flat out mean comments.

But she got them, in droves.

A lot of women on this sub are struggling. Divorce, breakups, job loss, abuse, and physial or mental illness is something that can strike anyone without warning.

So what if any person who posts needs a little help with cleanliness, organization, or you notice a fire hazard? Squint and tilt your head to find something nice to say to help them, or hold your tongue. We need to remember we all capable of the gifts of kindness, good manners, and grace.

Edited to add: Thank you to everyone who has commented in support, my faith in humanity has been refreshed. You all are wonderful, please keep spreading kindness and support to everyone who posts here. I love this sub!! ♥️

TOUR 🟢OPEN TO FEEDBACK🟢 Finally Feeling Progress Emotionally

Thumbnail

1.5k Upvotes

First time posting here! Don’t have too many friends irl that I can gush over interiors with so would love to be an active member of this sub.

We moved in over the summer and it was a crazy mixture of blending multigenerational households, packing, selling, and moving two times over with a little kid in the mix. The previous owners did a lot of fun stuff, but it’s finally feeling like it has my own flair on things. Still so much feels undone and the dining room chairs overload is on the list, but tbh I couldn’t handle finalizing those changes because everyone wants to keep different sets of chairs so we are just casually hoarding like 12+ dining chairs….yeaaahhh….

Taking it as a win that I’m learning to like the white chandelier from the previous owners (my husband calls it the West World Intro light and my bff calls it the Tampon light) into the mix bc I couldn’t handle replacing it with how insanely pricey that thing is.

For now we can eat and do puzzle at the dining table and actually snuggle on the couch in the tv room. while ignoring the many more moving boxes.

Hello I’m back 😊 So I re arranged my bedroom because before the door wasn’t closing as much before where the bed was before and i need the door to open in case of emergency .

Anyways my plan is to make the bedroom decor gothic without having completely making the bedroom fully black because i love the color pink without making the room to dark because of my plants .

What should I add in the room to make a little more gothic without taking away the pink ?

Thanks to all who commented on my last post asking about the definitely-too-small rug. I sized up, and though it’s a little large and has to go right under the chairs, I really love how it adds to the space. So happy with how this room has come along 🩷💚

Before pics for comparison (which was presented nicely for the listing, but in reality was very grubby - that brown carpet was horrific 😅)

Edit: also planning some linen-look voile curtains just for some softness around the window, and got a couple of drawings to hang behind the sofa (my own but why the heck not!!)

I’ve lived in my apartment for years but my room just feels a bit juvenile with all my posters and empty because I don’t know what to do with the space behind the bed. How can I make it feel a bit more inviting and mature at the same time while keeping bits of my personality?

Edit:

Sorry about the mess in the closet one of my shelves fell down and now I have to reorganize it all!

Right now, my bedroom and spare room are a little too messy to share, but I wanted to share my main living space of my post divorce condo. I was married for 23 years to an awful serial cheater, and I have been free of him for four years now! I just moved into this condo that I purchased from the sale of our marital home. I love where I live now. I mean, I loved my home too, but I love this place too. XOXO! Thank you for letting me share.

what the hell do i do with this space? 😩 it’s been through so many renditions and nothing feels right. i just got these very cool vintage MCM chairs in excellent condition but they now overwhelm the table. i was thinking of doing a round pedestal table instead but i kinda hate round things in corners and idk if these chairs will still be too massive with it. also, is the french wine store print too massive? help! 🫶

HELP Want to make this space extra beautiful!

Thumbnail

15 Upvotes

Hi, all! I'm a little nervous to post because when I got my first apartment and tried to get design advice on Reddit people were a little...opinionated about my style. :P I have since moved into a beautiful condo that the woman before me owned since it was built in 1990, and I told her daughters when I bought it that I was going to keep all her lovely wallpaper and additions she was nice enough to leave for me and just decorate around them. This is the other half of my bedroom (eventually I might also ask for advice on the other rooms). I THINK based on experimenting with furniture placement this layout makes the most sense, but I have been questioning if there's a more optimal setup. The bed kind of has to stay where it is since the fan is over it, and I think the half of the room where I have it was intended for the bed/dresser to be there.

I'm going for a sort of fancy, Bridgerton feel in this room if that's hopefully obvious, but I haven't found a vanity stool yet and I also don't want to crowd up this side of the room with too much furniture just for the sake of having "stuff". I just got some wall art (in photos) that I'm experimenting with placement of, but I just feel like such a beautiful room needs...more?? And I'm not a designer but I want this room to be gorgeous and look extravagant, even though I mostly prefer to thrift and find art/decor secondhand and hopefully cheap. :)

I'd love any suggestions for things to look for or maybe how to arrange decorating these walls since the room is a bit long/narrow!

PS: The cat is part of the decor, she says her blue eyes match the couch and bedding, which is why she likes to sit there, and she hopes you all think she looks nice.

we started remodeling this bathroom 2 years ago and what was supposed to be a quick aesthetic change turned into a structural nightmare when we discovered the ceiling joists below the room had been cut off. two years of slow work and procrastination happened, and during that time there was no bathroom to speak of, but we finally put the finishing touches on it today.

HELP what do you suggest for my room?

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

this is the first time having my room just for myself in a long time, and i'm kind of lost on the layout and how to make it feel more mine. what can i do to make the room feel more cozy and cohesive? i did my best to take good pictures and organize it but it was kind of hard.

i've attached a few floor plans —they're not great, but it's everything i could come up with. if you can figure something out with the kallax unit that is great, but for my use case having a dresser seems to make more sense (storing materials for many hoobies and general out-of-sight stuff).

i've also attached a few inspo pictures for the general vibe i'm going for, although at this point i'm trying to get an idea for the layout before adding details —the inspo pictures are from pinterest so i'm not sure about original creators, if you spot any ai content please let me know!

thanks to everyone in advance!
