Angry smol lip balm egg whose incoherent maundering may contain but are not limited to: greyhounds, early music, history, and outside. Please note that if you get weird in my mentions I will block you. Not normal weird like moss goblins or the 1,450 cassette tapes of getting your life vibrationally aligned weird, but bad weird like the ‘I am very intelligent!’ cartoon weird.

I seem to have hurt my ankle doing an easy run on my normal route in my normal running shoes. How??

@purplepadma one thing I will say is you have to be religious about replacing them when they wear out - the times I’ve seriously hurt my feet it was in brooks that were worn.

Took the 360 camera out for the first time this year. Love a tiny planet sphere.

Today I learned that even just the doors to kitchen cabinet cost the flipping earth. But I cannot cope with these garbage doors until I have a spare couple thousand dollars to waste on ✨aesthetic✨ 😭😭

Please note how those tasteless clowns never noticed their garbage late eighties cabinet fronts war violently with the beautiful original door. Also and more pressing than aesthetics wtf is the stove there in violation of the NKBA and common sense and where tf is the hood.

The devil’s bargain one makes by teaching puppy smols to ring a bell to go out is that while it gives them desirable autonomy and keeps the floor clean, not being stupid, dogs understand that ringing the bell can be extended to other requests one might make of the two legs.

This is why I had to get up off my cozy bed where I was reading a book of social history titled The Mid-Century Kitchen to lean behind the dresser to extract a treat Chloe couldn’t reach.

Check out this fresh to death laundry from American Home magazine in 1959. Everyone wants to waste time sorting clothes by color into little wire drawers because that’s not a huge waste of time. Although probably clothing wasn’t as colorfast in ancient days so maybe they had to do it,

KITCHEN OF THE FUTURE

That rotating lazy Susan refrigerator is magical except you know when it broke it would be bonkers expensive and difficult to repair.

Today I learned that we owe Corningware to a wife of one of the people at Corning, Bessie Littleton, who demonstrated a cake baked in a piece of Corning glass designed for industrial use baked very evenly due to the even distribution of heat through borosilicate glass, thank u for ur service, Bessie.

(The book is by Sarah Archer, it reads like it’s been possibly repurposed from her dissertation. That’s not a criticism, just that’s how it reads although I’m handled if I can explain what I mean.)

“ Designing a space is a job for a person who relishes bringing order to chaos. Use lists, charts, and spreadsheets, and store it all in three-ring or digital binders. Cross-reference every detail.”

The New York School of Interior Design book about home design (titled Home) really gets me, yes to spreadsheets about howse

I am still a bit miffed that my realtor corrected me about the mountain laurel in the backyard by calling it rhododendron but if those are rhododendrons they are dying because they’re wee as heck.

Also I plan to look at doing a rain garden since we do not have a shortage of the key ingredient. https://extension.psu.edu/rain-gardens

This ticks 100% of my boxes (interior by David Scott in the New York School of Interior Design: Home, the foundation of enduring spaces book)

Admittedly I have to design for hound so no I would not have a breakable glass thing and a tall metal thing on a table at just the right height for boops with nose or swishes of tail, but everything else works.

This is also a sweet look, a+ max relax. (Room by Drake/Anderson).

Ok this one I can see objectively some people would flip over it, it’s not bad, but I want to scream and throw holy water on it, it’s not restful at all. 😂 (harry heissmann)

Also in the image text I forgot to mention on top of everything else the full floor rug is CHEETAH PRINT

I could literally not sleep in there, there’s too much to look at for me to feel relaxed.

Also I am scrolling around my neighborhood looking at the other houses like mine and it’s clear a lot of people do not understand the assignment.

I like this room but I couldn’t have it in my house. (Alexa Hampton)

Aside from the busy-ness, dogs would be constantly banging into things and either hurting themselves or breaking the furniture. I could deal with the latter but nothing would induce me to risk the former.

When I say I read these architecture books and constantly evaluate all of it in relation to hound comfort, I know y’all knew I wasn’t joking but I really really am not. 😂

This takes a lot of nice elements and somehow manages to ruin them all into profound blandness. (Not saying the designer because I’m being kind of mean.)

Ok look I guess even my great aunt pearlene needs a room designed just for her.

This is really nice, the book breaks down in detail the different roles a designer, an architect, and a general contractor take in doing interior renovation/design right down to things like the difference between a sales order and a purchase order and how that difference affects what the end customer has access to, information wise or that if you hire a subcontractor directly the GC may charge a 10% fee to allow for the cost of coordinating with that contractor.

Oh dang it has a specific sequence of final steps from the floors to the furniture, with the work I’m hoping to do this is incredibly helpful so I know what I need to tear out first!
