Looks amazing 👏. Wood or "wood" floors really change the vibe/energy of the place
It really did… place felt ‘cold’ for lack of a better word, despite the Tuscan architecture. The wood, and some other touches make it feel a lot homier.

pic thread rules:

Still waiting on the new barrel, but got the white light mounted on the new hand guard for my primary pig gun:

We wound up going with the wood-look tile too. I fought, and fought my wife on that choice…I wanted real hardwood floors. So happy that we went with the tile now though.

Place had poorly cared for polished concrete floors when we bought it, and spent the first 45 days after buying it in our old house while we got shit done here. Floors, shelves and cabinets in the recessed alcoves on either side of the fireplace, etc.

Only difference is I’m not talented enough (and far too lazy) to do that shit myself; busted up knees make it a non-starter anyway, LoL.

And yes, we know the curtains are hung too high! 🤣. That pic is a couple years old now…taken right after we first moved in.

better pic of the floors:

Edit: and about to go through round two of kitchen renovations. Getting rid of the microwave cabinet (replacing with a regular cabinet), re-doing that butler’s pantry with shelves and taller counter-height cabinets, painting the cabinets white…with the island, stove hood, and new, taller cabinets in the butler’s pantry getting painted that ‘Fox Black’ (dark blue) color of the cabinets on either side of the fireplace.

Kind of like this:

Damn, you all got some nice homes. My latest upgrade has been to remove the hitch from the front of my trailer.
 
I want one.
I was thinking the same thing.
Where is this and what is the name of the restaurant…asking for a friend…
I was wondering too. Luckily we got the answer below.
Looks like Hoots Wings

Ever been?
 
Omg I'm stupid for even attempting to remodel my master bath. First ever bathroom job [not counting @akmike47 giving me a handy in public bathrooms].

I lived in a 1967 built house for 19 years. Dad and I added onto it when my wife got pregnant. Remodeled the bedroom I used to use as our bedroom. Then remodeled the living room. My wife said "let's remodel that hall bath". I told her alright, but know this going into it. We will see the earth underneath that bathroom (pier and beam).

And I was right. The mOron that owned it before me used particle board as a the sub floor. Then covered that in laminate flooring. Needless to say that particle board was black. I even had to replace two floor joists.

I built a new house on a different piece of property in 2019 and 2020. When we were selling that old house that was a constant project, she asked me if I was going to be sad since I lived there so long. I said not one damn bit!

Omg. So many WTF moments already. Like the plumbing is centered in the alcove, but the sink was offset to the left... like 😵‍💫 wtf.

Peasant activities. Go be poor somewhere else. I'm gonna do something like this, but 72" wide and a butcher block top and cool glass bowl sink.

So....just like that only different...cool.
I'm currently in a rent house. The master bath has 2 sinks. One has the mirror centered over it and is centered in the cabinet below but the light is offset. The other, the light and mirror are centered on the sink but none of that is centered on the cabinet. There are 4 speakers built into the coved ceiling in the living room, no 2 are same elevation or distance from the nearest corner. There is SO much more.
