While I think that the "FAQ" as outlined by swanoir was presented tongue in cheek ('the humus'), many of the subsequent comments and/or links to threads that could/should be included in a FAQ were presented in a more serious tone. And maybe they do make sense as a foundation to a real LD forum FAQ. But I've also sensed something else in these comments that may contribute to the apparent lack of communication between new posters seeking advice and those that regularly frequent this forum and offer it. And that is that the long checklist provided by Miss R must be (or should be) answered in detail before posting. Well, of course not! But it is definitely something worth reviewing and giving some thought to. This checklist, or something very similar, is what most designers utilize when first meeting with a prospective client. It gives them a feeling for what the client wants to do with the property, how they intend to use it, what they hope to get out of it and how much effort (time/$$) are they are intending to put into it. Hopefully, reviewing an outline or checklist such as this could help to refine and focus some of those blank slate questions and even educate those new posters totally unfamiliar with the process the degree of complexity, the number of variables and exactly what is involved in the formulation of a landscape design. Even DIY landscape texts intended for the homeowner with no previous design or landscaping experience offer similar checklists to get one started thinking about the process. Obviously, this is overkill for those questions that are more issue-specific, but I think very appropriate for those that are much broader and far less focused.

I looked under the brand name but haven't found out where else you can purchase it yet. This would not suit my home in it's style - however it gives me ideas to make something that is more my style but the similar idea. I would however use this on clients homes, it would fit the personality of several clients and their houses that are more "cute" than mine. Imagine it over an arched door or window?

My photos are on Tripod, which doesn't allow direct links into the messages here. But if you click on the link below, here's a type of wainscoting that we just put in our family room this past summer. If you need a close up view, check out page 8 of the photo album when you're there - it's taken before the carpeting and the first furniture went in, but it might be a better view.

I knit a pretty scarf for my DD to wear with her coat 8 or so years ago. She walked to work in San Francisco and liked all the scarves I made for her. The one using Trellis was knit with a double strand of yarn-- a black eyelash scarf and the Trellis, which was made of black threads holding little colored squares, one of which was a very bright turquoise. The scarf turned out gorgeous...the breeze would blow the black eyelash nap, and peeking out from the fluff here and there was a dazzling turquoise flash of color. I now have 2 or 3 balls of black and grey Trellis, and I just cannot think of how to use it. DD has since moved to a warm climate and no longer wears scarves, so that's out.
