It's one thing to admire what you see, but to incorporate it into your own home is quite another. You did the latter beautifully.

< My DH says we are all amoebas, with the illusion of choice. We met a couple at a neighborhood thing recently and we were so alike in so many ways it almost became funny. We "think" we are making choices, but we are such products of our environment! >

I've been told that I am quite the opposite, and my own choices are generally 180° from what I see posted here. I am therefore reluctant to post photos here of my style preferences.

Lars, that may be the key difference between creative people and the rest of us?

Really nice job. Congrats. What is the wattage recommended for the lights and what do you have in there now? You can certainly get an LED equivalent that will be much brighter.

Thank you- I am so happy with it.

This is the sconceMercer Single Tube Sconce Chrome . It says

  • BULB (1):
  • Type B 60 watts; (Bulb(s) not included)

that is what I got- an LED.FLSNT Dimmable Candelabra Light Bulbs 60W Equivalent E26 Base, B11 LED Chandelier Candle, 2700K Soft White, 6 Pack

I was on the phone with Pottery Barn asking if this was the bulb ( because Pottery Barn sold a bulb for a crazy $) and they said this was it.

I'd be happy to replace the bulb and see it brighter. I am just chicken as I thought this was the maximum. I'm thrilled t learn I was wrong....... do tell~ I'm not considering replacing the sconces. I'd love them to be brighter, but as I said, I do have additional lighting. Iwas just surprised that they don't actually offer more than good looks.

. However, the photo of the porch - showing the package - isn’t my porch.


I am waiting for the first art exhibit of package delivery photos. I myself have quite the portfolio building up.

Two years after moving, a company sent a replacement to our last address. I had deleted that address from my online account and the original item had not even been sent there. The current owner left at guardhouse and DD2 picked up for me. Seriously, wth.


Are they sending you another replacement? They can have the delivery company pick up the incorrect delivery. So frustrating!

I like what you've done, but here's some peel-n-stick look-a-like. Grasscloth

How about a Kate Golding paper? She has such great small patterns. https://www.kategolding.ca/abundant-springtime-collection

Love her! So refreshing.... I often think the best accessory you can wear is confidence. I've known some fabulous looking women who don't adhere to any trends or 'rules' -but they always look great, and I often think it's the way they carry themselves. Instead of apologizing for various flaws, appearing self-conscious, etc., they are fun and focused on other people. It's something to behold.

Hi, good morning, "Hu"!


I suppose it depends on where one lives, but I have never found my outdoor furniture to be infested. Sitting outside in comfort is so lovely. I hire cleaning people for outdoors just as I do for indoors, but even if I did it myself I 'd find it well worth the effort.

Thank you for your post, Lyban. Seeing something other than the huge hole left by your loved one is just a tiny reassurance that your life will still have joy. DH and I were at a poetry reading yesterday and an author read one about that "rogue wave" Annie described so well. It is still such early days for you, keep taking care of your grieving heart.

Gorgeous. Now you'll have to figure out where to put all the stuff that was covering it!

Edited to add - Hope the refinisher doesn't have too many Insta followers thinking it was you that trashed that nice table!

Wow, that's amazing!

I wish I knew of or could find a good refinsher. I have a large burl wood coffee table with inlay that I just adore. It's my favorite piece of furniture. I would love to have it refinished to fix some small mishaps but I am afraid of it being ruined.

Nothing to apologize for, Arapaho! I’m grateful not only for the understanding and empathy of this group but for the camaraderie that helps me live a normal life even when some of it is not so normal, iykwim. ❤️
