Is my frustration justified? I’m having a bit of an issue with my interior designer. I bought a 2 bedroom, 1000 sq ft condo with delayed possession, and I met with the ID four months before possession.

If our interior designer appears to have been scamming us, can we ask to see receipts? I don’t ask this lightly. In retrospect, I now realize there were some red flags early on, but never having done this before, I thought the error was on my end. The last couple of invoices seemed off, and I started looking into them so I could wrap my mind around escalating costs. Basically, I pulled on a few threads, and the whole thing started…

The little black square in the middle is a foundation post. Would you guys use a right facing…

Wood tile in bathroom? What are your thoughts on faux wood tile in bathrooms? I have seen beautiful wood tile that really does mimic hardwood in kitchens, living and dining rooms, etc. But because it is obviously fake in a bathroom do you avoid using it and just stick to traditional tile? submitted by /u/Ok-Plankton1673

Looking for dining table advice I am looking for help! I have been through multiple dining tables/arrangements for my space and can’t find an ideal solution. I recently replaced my oval (double pedestal) table with a rectangular (four-leg) table, and I think it was a bad decision!

As we approach the holidays once again, we’re looking to see what we can do to improve things! We see three+ possible opt…

Advice please: What can I do to make hide the litterbox and make this corner look better My aging kitty has decided that going to the bathroom upstairs has become too much work, so we bought a self-cleaning litterbox and this corner is the best place. (Side note, self-cleaning is not exactly perfect, but it’s still better than the others) The plants are there to encourage them to jump into the corner where the litter mess is a litt…
