gold cadet or gold edger or maybe something else

14 years ago

Helo all

I have a small hosta that looks a lot like my Blue Cadet but is charteuse in color.

Leaves 5" x 3 wide with 7 pairs of veins. Thought at first it was May or English Sunrise but the vein count changed that theory.

Pic can folllow later on tonight.

What are your thoughts.

a picture is worth a thousand words ....

short of that.. it is really hard to speculate based simply on your words ...

both of the sunrise plants are rare enough that you would have to specifically go out and buy them ... what is the history of your plant .... did it come with the house????

you might want to look at the gold version of golden tiara.. for a very common gold type plant ... and it is called golden scepter ... i will try to link to the library ....

Here is a link that might be useful: link

localeater- I will order some samples of browns while I'm shopping. Mr.MM is going to be surprised when the next 400 lbs of tile samples start rolling in. EAM44- we definitely have more brick, but I'm not sure I want anymore. It's kind of a pain to clean. Maybe sealed wouldn't be horrible, but it's still got a lot of nooks and crannies for things to hide in. I scrub down the brick around the range a few times a year and it takes a few hours, and it doesn't get many splashes, just dusty. controlfreakecs- Maybe match isn't the proper word, but I certainly don't want to add anymore colors. I'm okay with picking out a color that's already there, even if it's in small amounts. chesters_house- I kind of like the idea of a pattern, but would it be too busy? crl- It seems that paint is going to be the easiest, and maybe best choice. ineffablespace- you're talking to someone who would wear black pants and a black sweater and think it looked okay because they are both black. This whole post is making me realize that my wardrobe probably needs a lot of work as well. saipanlady- I'm hesitant to do something just behind the range and sink. The sink would probably be okay, but would a square of something look weird with the arch above?

Question - too much gold??

I used colors from the SW Blonde strip as well. My LR and office (note connected) are both Restrained Gold, my DR, which flows off my LR, is Mannered Gold, my Kitchen, FR and Media room are all Blonde. Hallways and Guest room are Ivoire. Where I veered from this color strip was my daughters BR--Romaine, with the bathroom Lace Wing (one shade lighter than Romaine). Our MBR is Aleutian, with the bathroom two shades lighter--Onward. AND, in the DR that is Mannered Gold, we have a tray ceiling. I did the top tray in a beautiful blue called Flyaway and sponged clouds. It's a gorgeous contrast to the dark Mannered Gold. I plan on doing details of cloud shadows using Blonde and Restrained Gold, along with some gray tones and bright white. I love the way the rooms flow from one another. They feel so connected and "right". And as someone else mentioned, these colors are so different depending on the level of sun. It's always such a nice surprise to see what the rooms look like at different times of the day (new home build so we don't live there yet). I also don't have any furniture set up, but that will be the easy part, I think. We have a furniture store here that does the same thing as Ethan Allen, where the salesperson also has a degree in Interior Design and will help coordinate pieces. I plan on using that service when the time comes.

Get these curtains, something else, or wait?
Q

Cooper - I want to get a chunkier rod and raise it up so I'll need something longer. That was the other problem, if I could find some that weren't silk or taffeta they were too short. Vampiressn - They have a scratching post and use it. I should've explained better. They don't actually claw the bedding but their nails snag, even though they're trimmed. They get ripping and tearing. The material on the red bedding I have is pretty delicate. I'm not sure how to describe it. Snags very easy. I just don't want to plan my whole room around that bedding and have it looking really shaggy in 6 months. Tracie - Good idea and that would be cheap! I thought of using those for a liner for the roman before but didn't think about curtains. That might work out nice. I would need to cut and hem the bottom but I think I can handle that. I would only need one for each side and they'd be nice and full. (72 w x 108" l) I have rings already from the LR curtains that I'm not using. Homebody - Ha, thanks. I feel like I'm dragging with project lately. I've been wanting to put this room together on and off for at least a year now. If money grew on trees I would've been done already but I would've ended up reselling the original wood poster bed I was considering because it's too big for the room and who knows what else I would've wanted to change had it not of worked out that I needed to wait. ;) Laura - I love hearing that you like yours also. Good deal. I guess since I've waited this long I'll just wait until I get the bedding. Once that's on the bed, I have some 84" white sheers I could hang to get an idea if longer sheers would work. I can also buy one of those drop cloths to check out. My friend would make a trip for me later I'm sure I'll just have to wait until she has the time to go. Still interested in hearing any thoughts you may have about the curtains or the room in general.

Hello! Should I add anything else to this wall? I love gold (sunburst)

Ok no worries! I usually use swatchpop and they just give you any ideas that you suggest. So here goes. I’m changing it up for summer. More color. I saw this on property brothers and I love it. Some of the pillows are from Target, especially the one I needed to pull this together. But unfortunately the color block is sold out! Help. I’m stuck for pillows! Here’s the idea and here’s what I got. I planned on using orange lamps because I don’t have the curtains. And can’t hang any in my living room anyway. Thanks for your help your awesome! The pink pillow is one I love that matches my flower arrangement. So if I get pink pillow, orange lamps, what do you think of this other pillow? Orange or blue? Hold on won’t let me post more pics....

Does the addition info help any id this little guy

I agree. A picture is worth a thousand words. Unfortunately this one might need 2,000 words to ID it...

A whole clump picture usually helps me more than an individual leaf.

Doubtful it is Gold Cadet, as that is not a common plant found in gardens. It definitely isn't Golden Scepter. To me it is too cascading and definitely not yellow enough to be May or English Sunrise.

My first instinct tells me probably Gold Edger. Birchwood Parky's Gold could also be a possibility because those two look very similar when young.

I agree .. it looks like you gold edger.

What does the bottom of your leaf look like?

Mine is slightly glaucous bloom

Chuck, I looked at the underside of the leaf, and it is definitely lighter than the top. It looks like it has a dusty coating. I think we might have a match. Lois

gold cadet or gold edger or maybe something else
