I had to explain to spouse how visual clutter and every little thing in my field of vision that was wrong/undone/broken in this house was subconsciously contributing to my stress. I didn’t know it was related to Cognitive Load Theory, but that makes sense. I described it like Morpheus did about the matrix: “like a splinter in your mind.” 🕶️

so I got tired of redoing the caulking in the washroom every few years because it eventually wears out and gets damaged.

so I scraped up the caulk, and now i'm putting down marine polyurethane sealant meant for ships and boats.

this is either a good idea or a terrible one.

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!

#2 when I say reasonably sized, I mean like 4,500 sq ft at most. Spacious enough for the basement level to have an “in-law suite” with its own kitchen, etc. plus some room for guests and fun extras like an exercise room or music room. I’m not wanting a ballroom or ten bedrooms like a normal castle.
I don’t want a castle so big the kitties are impossible to find in an emergency, or so big I couldn’t clean the whole house myself in one day if I needed to.

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. :sadness:

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! 🤩

A wall and door in some nerd's basement. The door is beige, and the wall has been primed with white primer. The top 1/3 of the wall has also been painting with one coat of Sherwin-Williams' Super Paint in High Reflective White. The top 1/3 of the wall is noticeably brighter and whiter than the bottom, even tho they are both considered to be "white."

I’m hoping the Sherwin-Williams ceiling paint is the same bright white as their Super Paint High Reflective White. I really don’t want to have to tape off between the ceiling and the wall if possible.

High Reflective White is the ONLY white I’ve found that doesn’t look dingy in basements and other rooms that don’t get much natural light.

We are painting our (previously unfinished, now somewhat-finished) basement today.

It took us three weekends to prime. 😩
