Changes.....Magic workers needed for Plan
Comments (31)Bevangel, I hope you had a wonderful weekend! The weather was beautiful in IL. We spent most of our time at the town pool! I'm refreshed and ready to tackle the plans again. They are planning on breaking ground on Thursday, but the forecast for this week isn't looking so good.....LOL The question of the day, every time we see someone we know.....'So when are you breaking ground?' LOL I like your changes so much better. I love the double door entry to the master and the sink and makeup counter outside the bathroom. Very clever. I printed the last drawing you did and added some revisions. It is almost there. Thanks for being so helpful. If the pantry needs to take a little space from the master bedroom, that would be fine. I really like the stairs where they are. We sort of designed our whole plan around having the open staircase in the big open room. It makes the basement not so closed off since we have 2 little girls. We will have a finished basement, also with a family room, playroom, bar, bedroom, bath, and storage, as well as the mechanical room. In order for our girls to use the space, we wanted to make it more connected to the main living area. I'm thinking we should put a door or allow for a door to be added when they are teenagers and want their privacy in the basement, but for now I like it all open. Thanks again!

Comments (43)We went together to get my set. Very simple brushed silver band with a VERY small solitaire diamond. $103.00 and took most everything my DH had at the time! I got his on our first anniversary , as it took me that long to save for it. When you are 16 and 18 years old money didn't come easy. My DH had to stop wearing his years ago due to it catching on something and nearly tore his finger off. We thought we had misplaced it for years and both looked time and time again thru the years for it. Last week my DH mentioned that now that he is retired he would love to have his ring. So I looked for the hundredth time in my jewelry box and there it was! I was stunned that it was there all along and neither of us could find it. Being my 60th birthday was in a few days I knew the best gift I could ever get would be the look in my DH's eyes when I gave it to him along with a new one as the first was so badly worn and split. As we went to dinner for my birthday I had him stop the car as I had something I just had to show him. He was as stunned as I and we shared many tears together! It truly was the most wonderful birthday ever!...See MoreQuestion about gold color
Comments (19)Regarding wear: DH's wedding band is yellow gold with rose gold bands of differing (narrow) widths all around the slightly rounded exterior perimeter; plain yellow gold inside. You see a striated effect, not separate bands. He's worn it for almost 53 years. I don't see any difference in the wear between the two colors. My grandfather's 'love knot' wedding ring is rose gold. I had the band made smaller for me, but I seldom wear any rings other than my engangement/wedding band. (Jeweler fused a second band to my engagement ring when we married.) I hate to say it, Caroline, but...while I admire a colored stone with diamond surround, I'm less thrilled with the reverse. A colored gem stands out and is enhanced by a bright diamond surround. OTOH, a diamond can look 'hedged in' by dark stones. A lively diamond benefits from light from beneath and all sides, hence the raised profiles -- and halogen lights in jewelry stores. There's more work and material involved in setting individual stones in separate raised prong settings. Small diamonds warrant the work; less sure about amethists. You might bezel set some amethists into the band -- but not down so far that they rub adjacent fingers. Diamonds are #10 hardness. Amethists are #7. Nicole's peridot is lovely in that gorgeous heavy gold setting, with the diamonds set into the gold. My pear diamond is set slightly raised, in platinum, with two small emerald shaped baguettes set into the band on each side. All the diamonds are matching grade. My DIL puzzled recently why her round diamond doesn't 'look' as big as mine. We concluded that it's because her diamond is solitare, while the diamond baguettes on mine add refraction on each side. My 'pear' is also slightly angled -- not set straight on -- as was the style at the time. That may also confuse the eye when the ring is on a moving hand. My stone is superior clarity. Hers is superior cut. I believe the pear shape exists because it can yield a greater carat weight from some raw stones; a round cut would eliminate the pointed end, knocking off weight....See Morecaroline94535
