My fiance and I want a wedding, either indoor or outdoor in the fall. And we want a wedding that has a dark and moody victorian/haunted vibe.
We're also having a very small wedding, 15 people max.
Are there any hotels/mansions/airbnbs in either the United States or Canada that has this vibe?
I got this candle holder from a thrift store. I'm going for a dark academia vibe.
I've never decorated with candle holders/candles before so I didn't really know if I could make this work.
Is this cute or ugly? I won't be offended!
I am trying to find a functional solution for the entryway for our shoes.
What we usually do when we walk in the front door is kick our shoes off and they just stay by the front door all messily.
We dont like more than one step, such as grabbing them and putting them in a bin or in a closet.
We were thinking of getting an entryway bench to then kick our shoes off underneath the bench.
Does anyone have any suggestions for things that have worked for you?
I am in love with this dark, deep aubergine/brown color and want to find it in a brand that doesn't break the bank. Maybe Behr or Valspar. Does anyone have any recommendations?
I just moved into my new house and this is how I have my living room/tv.
My fiance and I actually bought a mantel mount and were thinking of putting the tv above the mantel, and then have the couch face the fireplace.
The mount will be able to lower the tv so it isn't so high.
Would that layout look better? The back of the couch would be probably where the edge of the rug is near the step.
Or should we keep the layout how it is?
The reason I'm hesitant about facing the fireplace is that you cant see the rest of the house when sitting on the couch.
And then the issue with our current layout is that the space to walk from the front door to the kitchen is narrow. We cant move the couch forward bc it would be too close to the tv.
Any advice would be appreciated!!
I am going to get a black canopy bed frame. What color/pattern bedding would look cute here?
I'm looking to paint my bathroom cabinets black. I really am on a budget and don't want to spend more than $40 on just the paint (is that possible?). I honestly don't even mind if it scratches off a little. Anything is better than what my cabinets look like right now. And if I want to, I can use more high quality/expensive paint in the future.
I've been having 2 to 3 cans of zero sugar dr. Pepper every day. I feel it helps me stop from snacking during the day/at night.
Is this really bad to have 3 a day?
I've never used wood stain before. Am I able to stain the wood? Just not sure how it works/how to do it. But planning on watching YouTube videos.
My fiance and I just moved into a new townhouse. Before, we lived in an apartment complex. So anytime we needed work on anything, the maintenance man would come and fix things.
I always avoided being there when they were because 1. My social anxiety. And 2. I feel uncomfortable being alone with a man/men.
Now that we moved into our new house, there will be times where we need to hire a plumber, electrician, etc. And I will be the one home the majority of the time.
What do I do? Is it super unreasonable to work around my fiances schedule so that he can be home with me for these situations?
My fiance told me that we are going to hire lots of people throughout the years, and that he wants me to be able to answer the door and be there when they are.
I just feel so uncomfortable about it.
Just moved into a new house. We brought stools with us (that I want to replace anyway), but they are SO short compared to the counter.
The counter is 3.5 ft, which is really tall for me.
I'm 4"11 and feel like I'll struggle to hoist myself up on a stool that will fit.
Any suggestions?
Hi all,
Long time listener, first time writing in. My fiance recently said something to me that really bothered me, and I'm looking for some input.
I, 28 F, was recently diagnosed with ADHD. I went to my psychiatrist and was asked all sorts of questions. When she diagnosed me, I felt validated and relieved to finally get diagnosed with something that could explain who I am and what I struggle with.
When I told my fiance, 30M, I was curious to see how he would answer some of the assessment questions. So I found some of them online and read them to him.
He answered "no" to most of the questions, but after hearing them, he said "I feel like these assessments are made so that really anyone could be diagnosed with ADHD" and, that they do this "so that the doctor can write prescriptions and get paid for it".
I got upset because he was basically insinuating that the assessment questions are vague, and that you can diagnose pretty much anyone with ADHD, even if they don't have it.
I also found it ironic that he had this opinion, yet he answered "no" to most of the questions.
I felt like he dismissed my diagnosis, putting me in the category of "anyone could be diagnosed". So I told him that.
He denied it, and told me he was happy I got a diagnosis, but that he believed the assessments were made so that people could easily he diagnosed.
I just feel dismissed and not truly supported about my diagnosis. Any advice from my favorite THT people would be appreciated.
Or any other wall color suggestions!
I was just diagnosed with ADHD and really want to work on having the correct tools and techniques for being organized in my house.
​
Do you guys have any product recommendations that have really helped you with clutter, memory, and just staying organized in general?

I'm going to talk to my psychiatrist about switching from Adderall XR to Vyvanse.
​
Can you switch to it the day after?
What should I do with this space in my basement? It is a very small space with two bedrooms to the right and a small bathroom and laundry room to the left.
​
If there were seating I dont know if anyone would ever even sit there, but I dont know what else to put there!
Ive been on 100mg Pristiq for a year and just started Adderall XR 10mg today. My anxiety seems to be worse, like I have that anxious stomach pit that I normally dont get.
​
Has this happened to anyone? I really like how it made me focus better, but hate this anxious feeling
I'm looking for a fun at home activity for an upcoming bachelorette party trip. We're all flying so no one can really bring anything with us.
I saw a rental business near our airbnb that offers a "karaoke package" where they drop off a karaoke machine, mics, a disco ball, etc.
I'm thinking this is a cute, fun idea. It's $149 for the package.
Should we do this for our activity? Yes, we'd have to spend money but I think it sounds worth it since we wouldnt be able to bring those things. Opinions or other ideas are appreciated
