Comments (8)Hi again. For starting seed, you can use pretty much whatever you like. Everyone's got their own favorites. This year I bought some peat pots but only because they were on sale and they fit nicely in the trays that I have. I also use the plastic plugs from the nurseries (I pick them up from people who are throwing them out - the sillies!) just be sure to clean them before you use them. A quick dip in a bleach/hot water solution, just to kill off any possible fungus/disease. I am also growing some brug seeds in the newspaper pots as per Bonnie's suggestion. With Marigolds, the seeds are large enough to plant one at a time, so I would use the plastic plugs, that way they are easy to just pop right out when their ready to go. They also hold water a bit better. The peat/newspaper is great for plants that don't like to have their roots disturbed when transplanting, stuff like poppies. Watering, you just have to keep your eyes on them. You don't want the seeds to dry out, which can happen faster than you think in a sunny spot. But...once the seeds are growing, you don't want to overwater either. And you don't want to encourage dampening off, which can happen with overwatering and can kill your seedlings. So I would just check them everyday, and make sure they don't dry out completely (says the obsessive/compulsive person who checks probably every couple hours, just to see if they've sprouted yet!) Good air circulation is important too. Some people set up a fan just to keep the air moving. Just turn it on for a couple hours everyday, if you want to do that. Seed starting mix is fine, or you can make your own mix, too, which can be a bit cheaper, depending on how much you need. I use a 1-1-1 mix of vermiculite, perlite and regular potting soil. Instead of potting soil, you could use peat. Again, it just depends on what you like and what's available. But if you're just doing a little bit, it's probably easier to just by the starter mix. As for seeds, you would be more than welcome to them. Marigolds put out seeds profusely, I have lots. And I don't think I'm going to do petunias this year, so rather than keep them, if someone else can use them....You want to start the petunias ASAP. Just email me your addy, and I'll pop them in the mail by the weekend....See MoreBuriti oil,continuing the Argan thread
Comments (1)Bumping down due to lack of interest...See MoreShould we continue with Design Around threads right now?
Comments (89)There is a lot of confusion about the style which I would say lasted from about 1940-1970 and mixed and encompassed styles from deco to colonial revival to 18th century French and American in with midcentury modern. I place it in this extended period because I consider William Haines, Dorothy Draper, James Mont, Tommi Parzinger, Karl Springer, Michael Taylor and Tony Duquette all to have worked in this style, to some degree. Does anybody want to add any designers to the list of the originals? (I think Kelly Wearstler revived it and Jonathan Adler cashed in by copying individual pieces of their work verbatim, but I will really try to reference original period. I think as with other styles we have worked in, Hollywood Regency will pretty much be an application of the style to a kitchen since the typical HR house would have had a period kitchen of 1940-1970, and it would have likely been a pastel Saint Charles kitchen with a big Chambers or Tappan Fabulous 400. So I think we are going to be applying Hollywood Regency furniture styles to a current kitchen rather than recreating kitchen that would be in a Hollywood Regency era house--which goes back to a "period kitchen" design. So any designers to add to the list? Any comments on my thought process on this?...See Morebrendasue
