My oldest has just started uni but still living at home. Does anyone have any tips on how to divide space at home to give him some autonomy and privacy?

I always remember hanging outside at my friends' homes while they were still living with their parents. They had made these areas into great hangout zones and we never disturbed the rest of the family with our antics!

Here is an article I found helpful in understanding my own Millenial kids, strange things they are. http://fusion.net/story/283080/nyt-millennial-trend-story/ Actually, it is also rather bleak.

Hi, dass was mich stört (u.a. das lange Scrollen vom Start weg) wurde schon hinlänglich erwähnt. Was das Whisky-Tasting (tolle Idee übrigens!) angeht, so wiederspreche ich einer oben gemachten Anmerkung: Das ist eine Kundenveranstaltung, auf die Sie aufmerksam machen möchten und das gehört nach vorne (sprich: Startseite). Eine Rückschau auf gelungene Veranstaltungen können sie dann an anderer Stelle anbieten. - Wichtig, wie bei allen Homepages: Pflege!!! Kundenveranstaltungen, die stattgefunden haben, gehören einen Tag später ins Archiv. Nichts ist peinlicher als überalterte Inhalte. Mini-Bug: Schauen Sie nochmal über Ihre Öffnungszeiten. Freitag und die Öffnungszeiten freitags sind - entgegen allen anderen Tagen- "fett". Wenn Sie Freitags nichts Besonderes vorhaben, sollten Sie ihn wie die anderen formatieren und nicht extra hervorheben. Ansonsten sehr schöne Katalog-Bilder. Die Auswahl unter den einzelnen Ofen-Kategorien finde ich fast schon (sorry!) "erschlagend" in der Menge. - Lieber öfter mal BIlder wechseln, dann merken Ihre Kunden, dass Ihre Seite gepflegt wird und sich was tut im "Home of Fire"! Vielleicht könnte man da auch pro Hersteller 5 besonders schöne Expemplare zeigen und auf die Produktkataloge verweisen? Dazu würde ich die Marken, mit denen Sie zusammenarbeiten verlinken. Erklärung der Wirkungsweise und Umweltaspekte aufzuzeigen ist top. Vielleicht haben Sie auch noch Ofenzubehör, dass Sie anbieten können: schöne Holzlager, Ofenbesteck. . . . Rundum-Paket um den schönen Ofen herum nicht vergessen! Toll wäre auch, wenn Sie vielleicht noch besonders gut gelungene eigene Projekte und das Feedback zufriedener Kunden als Referenzen einstellen könnten. Das stärkt die Glaubwürdigkeit jenseits der Katalog-Bilder und spricht für Ihr Know-How. VG!

Unique kitchen layout
Q
Kommentare (11)
Hi Ella, wow, that looks like a real challenge... The really low "Kniestock" together with your size doesn´t work well. I think you need to move the kitchen pretty far into the room to be able to properly move around and operate the kitchen. For instance if you imagine standing in front of the sink - if i read the floorplan correctly, if you move just a little bit to the right, you´ll bump your head into the angled wall. In addition, the whole area below the angled wall is actually not usable for a worktop area, because it´s just too low. Even if you place storage room there, it´s not really comfortable to reach. Can you add some more picture of the rest of the room? I think you need a complete layout including dining area and living room area and not only focus on the kitchen. Cheers, TH

What colour/fabric for soft furnishings
Q

Hi Ella, first of all, let me say that you have some really nice vintage pieces in your home! If you are planning to keep the light grey rug I would go with a darker shade of grey for the daybed and a lighter shade or a completely different color for the fabric of the sidechair (e.g. like the dark blue in your third photo) in order to create more contrast and give the room a more dynamic feel. You also mentioned a portrait to be hung above the sideboard - maybe the colors of this picture can aslo inspire the fabrics, it's always nice if the same color pops up in different details of a room. I hope this helps in your decision making process and I would love to see the results. Many greetings Anita Goda from Studio Wunderkammer

@PrimePhoto Danke für Ihr Lob Herr Zielinski, ich freue mich auch immer wieder wie reibungslos auch komplizierte Aufgabe dank unsere guten und hochwertigen Technik verlaufen. @rooom.biz Danke Frau Maslankowski, ich hoffe der „live Blick“ hat Ihnen auch gut gefallen;-) Wir haben für den gleichen Kunden übrigens noch viel kompliziertere Handläufe in der Maximilianstrasse 8 in München eingebaut, nur leider habe ich es bei diesem Auftrag versäumt genug Fotos zu machen. Aber wer mal gucken möchte, kann ja mal hinfahren:-))). Viele Grüße, Jörn Brenscheidt von hokon

I agree, unless its the depth of Winter, they can hang out outside with their mates . When I was young we hung out in a cafe called the Green Man which had live music. If you have a spare room, let them have that .

Susan..we live in an apartment so not much room to hang out..she's got her bedroom and that's it..when her friends come over they all snuggle up in her bed lol ..it helps that some of them have their own place so that's where they hang out..

If they move into a share house they will mostly only have their bedroom to themselves anyway, so why get used to having their own wing, etc?

My advice is don't give him any automony or privacy! I have three adult sons who have moved back and forth from "home", with a growing collection of goods and chattels (including enormous amounts of Star Wars and Lego, vast DVD libraries, furniture, bikes, gym equipment, etc, etc: I kid you not!). The eldest is 42 years old and shows no signs of moving out. I want to know how to get rid of him.

Susan Redman, I gave him the smallest of the bedrooms (just a bit bigger than a cupboard) .... but he took over the other two spare bedrooms, the storage loft, the office, the garage: there's no stopping him. I could write a non-fiction tome on my experience. About now, I am thinking of leaving home myself.

Charge him rent by the cubic metre.

I am lucky to get the agreed $150 a week "board" out of him! Seriously, he thinks I "need" him living with me. I am not old, or disabled. I have thought of contacting potential Russian and Asian brides. He needs a woman to look after him: and preferably one that bosses him around. I am too passive. I want a quiet life ..... sans children living with me. I want to renovate my house ..... and downsize ..... but I have to get him and all his stuff out first.

Capricorn08..it's your house..if it was me I'd get in an agent..put the house on the market..give him the same amount time as a landlord would 60 days and go look for a smaller place..that way there's no room for him to move in with you hehehe

since you're selling up you'd need to pack and he has to pack his stuff too ..may be the only way to get rid of him is to sell..

To all the lovely people who have posted. To sell my house for what it's worth, I need to get him and his stuff out first.

Capricorn, you need third parties in the mix. A real estate agent telling him to declutter, a property stylist like this one

http://www.houzz.com.au/pro/molly-39/mollys-spaces

to put deadlines in place, and to chip away at his will.

Capricorn08 not sure about your son but if he's anything like my husband he'd never notice stuff..

whilst he's out I'd slowly pack stuff and move it to a storage lol $150 a week can pay for storage easy lol once you have moved stuff out you can move him next lol

Capricorn - it's time to bite the bullet on this. You're doing neither yourself nor your son any favors by letting him off the hook. He's an adult and it's time he behaved like one. Give him a deadline - say 30 days - to remove all his stuff - if necessary, rent a storage unit for him for that month so he has somewhere to put it temporarily. Make it clear that anything left at the end of 30 days will be going to the tip. And to show that you're serious, start clearing out your own junk because there'll be a lot of things you'll want to get rid of or at least put in storage while the house is on the market. Get that stylist in, get the agent in, sign contracts, get the ball rolling. And stick to the deadline. It's your life and it's time you took it back.

One of our daughters was the typical 'boomerang' kid, coming home from London with the unemployed boyfriend and living upstairs for three years.

She then moved into their own home in the outer suburbs for one year then back again for two and half years. The boyfriend finished his law degree and the celebratory holiday resulted in baby Harry, so along with the dog their were four of them until their new home was finished.

No, Vy, I don't have a plan of the house but I can tell you what I have planned to do. Our home is a traditional double-fronted renovated weatherboard in the inner city, so I've more or less given him the old part of the house, which has a few small rooms, one is his bedroom, another a study and there's a small sitting room he can entertain friends in. I'm writing a story about this topic for next week - which includes some quick fixes and some permanent ideas - so stay tuned everyone!
