Help with Bathroom Vanity


We purchased a vanity that is too deep to fit neatly against the wall (4″ door molding is in the way). This only affects the side of the vanity. Do you think it is better to move the vanity out a couple of inches from the side (leaving that annoying gap that things can fall through) or should we notch out the molding so that the vanity can fit flush against the wall? I can sort of picture this, but think it may look ugly. Thoughts?

FYI – Action Glass


Action Glass now charges $65 to come out and give you an estimate. It will be deducted off your bill if you decide to go with them, but really, what up with this??? They should see an immediate drop off in business.

Just wondering…best use of parlor


so, many traditional brownstones have double doors that open directly into the front part of the parlor, right? The set up I most often see are couches or chairs flanking the fireplace, usually somewhat positioned in front of the doors. My question is…how do folks usually use that portion of the floor most close to the parlor windows? Do you have it set up as another little sitting area? Is your desk there? Just trying to use the space as best as possible and getting puzzled.

Classic brownstone interior paint color?


Awhile back, either on this site or apartmenttherapy.com, there was a discussion about a classic brownstone interior paint color – essentially, what brownstone interiors were painted 100 years ago. It is a very warm color, bordering on a rich, yet light yellow. Anyone recall the name – I believe it’s a Benjamin Moore.
