Actually creative ideas for above fridge?

I know I know storage ugh so fucking boring. I can't even reach my second shelf I don't need more fucking storage above my head, regardless of how often I use it. Anyone have some actual interesting or creative ideas? I was thinking like a terrarium or something but idk if you have to do stuff with those, in which case, I'll need more ideas

What are some of your home improvement dreams?

I do not currently own a house, but I’ve got some minimum standards for things that will be improved. So far I know I need:

1.) In-line air purification system 3.) Modular HVAC 2.) Humidity control system 3.) Whole-house fragrance system 4.) Centrally controlled “smart” light switches (preferably not wi-fi enabled) 5.) Central vacuum system 6.) Commercial kitchen and appliances 7.) Full home speaker system

That’s all I can think of off the top of my head. Any other neat ideas that often don’t get mentioned?

Shower water dripping since remodel. Any ideas for a fix?

I am going to attempt to fix with a water damn and silicone. But any other ideas would be great. I know ideally the tile on the wall needs to be redone to push the water into shower pan.

Advice on renovating space above attached garage

Live in a center hall colonial house with an attached two car garage. Master bedroom and spare bedroom are next to the garage side of house. I’d like to raise the roof of the garage to match the rest of the house in order to reconfigure the master bedroom and perhaps create a 5th bedroom or bonus space. Any advice on how to configure such a space or things to watch out for? For example I’d love to put the washer and dryer in the master bedroom to free up space in the mudroom and no longer have to deal with laundry on the main floor.

Fair price for contracted work.

How much should this have costed in Southern California. New homeowner and still haven’t gotten a hang of figuring out fair prices for work done to the house.

I had the wood from the back wall and closet removed and rebuilt, had the floors removed and redone, baseboards redone, had the recessed lights installed and the whole room repainted.

I got 3 separate quotes and they were all similar, not sure if I got a fair deal or all 3 were overpricing me because they knew I didn’t know much. Please provide your input on how much this should have costed!!!

Did this Plumber doom my house ????

Some plumber did this to my house before I lived here. They sawed through the main beam all the way to one side of the house, under the staircases no less. Once through the beam, they sawed though two joists. All the new wood you see is support I've added. Is it enough??
