Oh, my3dogs--I just LOVE that front door. I have a 30's cape (unfortunately it's not in New England--it's in a MD suburb of DC!!!) but as a displaced New Englander I pretend :) Anyway, you've got me wondering what I'd find if I stripped the 70 years worth of paint off my front door (it's a beautiful door and we just added another coat of paint!) This may get added to my list of projects for a rainy day (or several rainy days!) In answer to the OP's question--I'm thinking a variety of closely related doors would be nice--rather than going with one style throughout.We're only the second owners of our house and I know the doors are all original--and we have a bit of a variety. Several with the barn door cross hatch look, most others with 6 panels..but our front has 12 small panes of glass and our kitchen door to the mudroom has 6 long skinny panes of glass. I guess what I'm saying is a little quirkiness would fit well :) Our hardware is mostly the original tarnished brass with a little glass in a couple of places.

Thank for the nice words on the little doggy, He is my brothers dog, the granite is so easy to take care of, I only use vinegar and water on on the floors, Now I dont know if the granite in the US is similar as to the one we have , the counters come from italy but the floor tiles come from china. I have spilled red vine on the counters ad nothing did stain. I have a shihtzu dog (Hugo) and that was the main reason that I did have all that granite installed on the floors, we have oak hardwood on all the other floors and I kid you not the difference on the upkeep is tremendous, My Hugo leaves his foot print on the hardwood after going out in the snow or rain but you see nothing on the tiled floors. I had an example of the tiles for a wile in our last house before making sure I wanted that floor and I had glossy light gray tiles in the house we lived in for a wile vile building ,and I dropped the same stuff on both tiles and the light gray showed everything vile the kashmir did not . The counters came sealed from the manufacturer and he told me that we only need to reseal them every 3 to 5 years . Just so you know we are in Iceland , we are in the middle of the atlantic ocean If you want any more photos just holler and I can take more . Svava

Thanks Neil! Need to bonsai it up a little! With all do respect Aerial Lindsay - I believe many members of the forum here have already responded to your thread with an answer, and that your plant is a type of jade, crassula ovata, with tips on how to grow it. It would be a basic etiquette to respond back to them and take your discussion back to your thread instead of hijacking every single 'Jade Post' you can find on the forum with the same question. - Bernard
