I love the Fiddle Leaf Ficus. It grows tall and needs indirect sunlight (can tolerate direct sunlight for short periods of time). Ferns and Aloe will do well as house plants. Money Tree plants are good luck- will bring you money (supposedly). My sister gave me one and I've been pretty lucky!

If you are going for mid century- stay in the earthy tones of green, honey brown, tan, white. I like this layout for your furniture

For her to sit there and pretend that it's ok to cheat is SOOO hypocritical because she has made comments that if anyone was hitting on her husband or if he was cheating- he'd be dead (basically). She is such a narcissist and has obviously told Derrick a bunch of bs. You can make a nice person crazy by gaslighting them. That's what I believe she did.

Yeah- and how many times do you think Adam asked her if "something was going on" and Steph made him feel crazy? She says that she had to do what she had to do until it was "safe". Well, if she was so scared of her life- she could have left her home and moved. That's what I did when my alcoholic husband was throwing me up against the wall. I left because I was afraid. I took my kids and dog with me. She's got the income- she just wanted it all.

There are two sides of every story. For all we know Stephanie has been poking the bear and then saying "I didn't do anything". Come on- Stephanie isn't some dainty person. She's pretty tough. That doesn't mean she shouldn't get divorced. However, when a husband becomes Mr. Mom and then he is told that he has to leave and his services are no longer needed- hello! If a mother was a stay at home parent- running the house and taking the kids to and fro- would any of us support her being tossed out? That's part of this problem. The guy has lost his wife, his home, his income (partly), and his kids. He's been displaced. If Steph was having a mid life crisis and traveling and having an affair- was she gaslighting him for months until it was "safe" for her to kick him out? Two sides to this story. They may both be toxic.

Yeah- take your time because that wood look is really in and with a few tweaks to your present decor it could work. I'm a fan of light painted wood but in this case- that style of built-in reminds me of mid century modern.

I'd leave it the color it is and paint the wall behind it a similar color

Is this all the same house? I'm confused. Honestly- the yellow of the addition makes me think you should paint the house that color! I think the whole house painted would look awesome.

I've cruised Holland. In summer it's a bit more lively because kids are out of school and there will be multi-generations onboard. You'll have a good time. Alaska is port intensive and you'll be taking in the views and less concerned about onboard activities. We did trivia as a family every day and dined 6 out of seven nights in the specialty restaurant. Give the main dining room a try as well as the buffet. If it's meh- you can always do specialty dining. Don't fret about it. It will be a fun cruise.

Call medical. They are always open- meaning there is someone there or they will page someone from medical to call you. They are used to emergency situations. They may have a vending machine outside medical

At each port they tie up and have to go through "clearance" and such. It's not likely that will be accomplished until 6:30 AM or later. In Boston we docked for the day at 8AM and I wasn't off until 945 AM. Times vary.

INeeds a skim coat of drywall mud. Let it dry for several days, sand smooth, use your primer and paint in this area should be fine.

Yeah those robes aren't warm and cozy though. They are waffle fabric, thin and small

Power wash it because the red paint underneath is already showing through. There is no telling how many coats of paint are on there. Might turn into a mess but it's already a problem. I'd go dark if you paint it- or risk that red coming through.

That room looks great. I'd put shelving on the left of the fireplace because it's unbalanced with the heavy drapes on the right side. Keep the tv where it is. Don't change the layout. it's really nice.
