What do you think of this house?
-
Last project at Kim’s house - for now. She moves in Saturday.
The sink is a composite material. I’ve never had one but reviews are good. It feels sturdy enough and it’s much quieter than the stainless sink it replaced.
Hired a plumber to install it. Years ago I would have installed it myself but nowadays I’d rather hire it out. It’s a miserable job that requires a lot more shoulder mobility than I have these days.
Glad I didn’t try. The installation was very complicated due to how the new sink is laid out vs. what was in the wall. Lots of modifications required that would have taken me days to do. Kim found the plumber on a new site called Thumbtack and he was quite competent.

Kim moved in yesterday. It all went fairly well.
I installed her new TV on the wall. It’s a “Canvas” TV - first I’ve seen. It sits flat against the wall and has a wood frame around it so it looks like a picture.
Better is the selection of artwork you can display in it, either a single picture or several in rotation. It came preloaded with several hundred pictures to choose from or you can upload your own. In art mode the screen goes in to more of a matte finish look - it’s not the Louvre but it’s not bad.
Clever!

I like the way the room is laid out. The long side of a sectional faces the fireplace and the short side faces the TV wall. This makes the fireplace and flanking windows the focal point of the room and the TV doesn’t dominate. It’s easy enough to see the TV but when you’re not watching it just looks like a picture over a sideboard on the far wall. I’ll have to get a photo of it.

@Steve-Miller I love the idea of a canvas tv for artwork!!

Hall bath is complete. Grandson Jack, age 6, got to choose everything in it. He likes bold statements, that boy.
It like is like something you’d see at one of those designer showcase houses where designers each do various rooms.

What is not shown as the toilet brush that looks like a hamburger. You don’t get to tell a six-year-old how to decorate and then tell him how to decorate.
