Simplifying things is the way to go. You'll see things so much more clearly when not embedded in an insurmountable mass of material garbage.
I recall way long ago, with that "other" blog having trouble uploading images that were larger sized files and I simply saved them to a different format to reduce the size and it worked like a charm. I wonder what format the files are they they're having trouble uploading?
That's a good idea.
Books are something I cannot part with. I love books and I like a enormous supply of them around me for when I get into my reading phase. I'm a very fast reader and when I get in one of those phases, I can pour through dozens of books so I want them at my fingertips when that happens. While I like the look of books, I love to read them so sets that may be missing some in the series are okay provided they're a good read!
lol. I don't like stupid people.
I've been using the wine trap for about 2 decades. I first discovered that remedy when one night when I left my glass of wine on the counter with some wine still in it. In the morning, the inside had a bunch of those nagging fruit flies in there. I placed a saucer on top the glass to trap them in there so they would drown in their own intoxication. I've used the wine trap method ever since. If you let the wine ferment a little, that works better than fresh wine, fyi.
lol. Typical!
LOL - forgot to include the link! https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20120905006401/en/GE%E2%80%99s-Slate-Finish-Joins-Stainless-Premium-Appliance
Here's a picture (and article) of your slate appliance filled kitchen above but without the people in it. The Business Wire article from a couple of weeks ago stated that Stainless is still a top choice with 35% of remodels/new purchasers choosing this option. I still like hte stainless but think the slate would work well if it the cabinetry is designed around it. I don't think the finish on the cabinets in the kitchen photo above is a good match for the slate look, imo.
I like slate and it is different than stainless but I like Stainless too, especially because it is so easy to take care of and it is so durable.
Better off with FireFox than Chrome. Chrome isn't afforded the passive protections from anti-spyware and anti-malware that FireFox and IE are.
Ditch the blinds. lol
Keep the Faith.
Oh, boy, I so understand. I can't stand a cluster-f*ck of stuff, ESPECIALLY when it's someone else's crap! It sucks the energy right out of you.
Agree, either higher or lower. Good luck!!!
Oh, another thing I would do "IF" you were forced to leave the wainscoting is to cut in down. It's too high.
