Also, so many high-end homes have home movie theaters in the basement. They would make a great music studio. I’m always looking at homes and thinking to myself “ok where would I set up my home studio?”

Except…many of these home theaters have tiered flooring like a real cinema, and then those overstuffed recliners stuck together like a couch. So you can only fit maybe eight people total.

#3 Why do so many high-end homes have a wine cellar? And also a lot of them have a small putting green either inside or outside. Harumph. Rich people hobbies are boring. I guarantee you can have more fun and spend just as much money pretending to be a rock star, like me.

Ok maybe not. I have no idea how much it costs to collect wine or golf clubs. But fancy guitars and microphones surely compare!

I’ve been looking at unreasonably-priced homes on Redfin (let’s be real; everything’s unreasonable nowadays) to get ideas for how to reconfigure our kitchen if/when we ever move the stairs. B/c moving the stairs would take about 7 ft away from our current kitchen, sort of.
Observations:
Our kitchen isn’t/wouldn’t be big enough to do all the cool & pretty layouts most modern kitchens have in these more spacious homes.

What’s sad is the price of paint has increased across the board due to various supply chain issues (and greedflation probably - yay!) so now a gallon of Sherwin Williams’ most premium paint is more expensive than a gallon of Farrow & Ball was in 2020, and ofc F&B is now about $140/gallon 💀

But what are you gonna do? *Not* paint your house? Leave the bare Sheetrock exposed for years? Live in squalour?!?

Every time I talk about paint colors I’m reminded of this SNL skit.

Look at the depth of colour!

“Is she still talking about color? Ugh.”

Here is a pic of my basement wall getting painted with Sherwin Williams’ High Reflective White, over basic white primer, which was painted over bare Sheetrock. Although I acknowledge that the grey of the Sheetrock may be affecting the tone of the primer, notice how much brighter the HRWhite is! 🤩
