Please help identify plant w/ small black fruits
Comments (11)Agree with Floral_uk, it looks like one of the black nightshades, probably S. douglasii given your location. There are several very similar species, and they grow wild pretty much everywhere. I take great pains to ensure that they never go to seed in my gardens, and they still crop up from dormant seed or from bird droppings. When I lived in San Diego, the local Hmong community cultivated one of the black nightshades extensively. There is a pretty god write up of the various species & their properties in the link below. Personally, I would just treat it like the weed that it is & dispose of it. Really nice jade plant bush behind it, by the way. Here is a link that might be useful: Black nightshade...See More??help decide oakcab uba tuba, or green butterfly go w fire ice
Comments (12)uba tuba, sure price is great within the first couple of levels we'd want to stay but... really just want something not too fancy for my house, I also like st celia too but want something w a little more contrast to my cabinets. My cabinets have alot a graining in them and don't want counters too busy either. It makes me a little more hesistant about the verde butterfly b/c it seems to have a more of a larger pattern but like i said hubby seems to like them better and i'm just confused wish i had a magic wand ii just want it to be pretty not regret or want to change something immediatly. All the granite people seem to be trying to steer me away from uba tuba too, i think they burnt out on seeing it so much a few years ago when they installed it so often. Those three I mentioned along with gallio something I did like but im just not crazy about anything else. I'm not a fancy girl, just a country farm girl from georgia so I tend to be attracted to the more plan granites I guess...?? But I love the brick fire and ice look for the backsplash and want it to match it too. thanks for all of your help...See More36'w or 30'w, help please!
Comments (18)Suska6184, I was concerned about openign and closing these large drawers too. I visited a local showroom that had several banks of 42" and 48" drawers. I spent a whole day cooking and doing normal stuff in these kitchens, and I am sold. They were light and easy to open, all of them had blumotion and they worked so smoothly. It also allowed all the utensils I use to be at easy view level without having to shuffle through a drawer. I tend to be very regimented in the order that I put things. I am a scientist by training and these are similar to drawers that I had in the labs except not as large. Most drawers in my lab used to be 36-39" wide. Also, love the large lab sinks for this reason. I throughly agree on the pull out pantry though. I found the 15" pantry rather small. The 18" pantry was much more useful and seemed to hold more stuff and more sizes. Mackswim, I think you should really consider some small and narrow cabinets next to the hood because of glassware storage. Regarding the drop zone, will there be a wall that boundaries the 24" drawer to the left? If so, I wonder if the liebherr would create a visual stop. Just a thought. I think you can use that 24" cabinet differently. Bringing the fridge to the end of the wall and making the pantries a little larger would be great. Also, you have this great open space next to the fridge and stove. Do you have space in your island for a 6" cabinet to store trays and chopping boards and the like? I don't know where you are located but I spent about a month going to different showrooms to envision myself using many of these systems before I decided on them. My construction process starts in April and we hope to be done in August. Getting all the design and decisions made early are really important to me. A suggestion I say in a magazine has to do with a tilting pull out pantry that would make it easier to see the contents of the pantry. I will have to find a link to that system. Just some more ideas to complicate your decision making:-) Good luck!...See MoreIdeas for accent pillows & decor to go w/drapes & rug in L. Room
Comments (26)lynartish, thanks for taking the time to "photoshop" in the pillows. As for the lighting in the room, that is the result of poor quality photo taking from my phone. I turned the lights on to help show of each one. Just a little bit of info: The window treatments are "set up" to keep "gawkers" from looking into our home. Unfortunately, our street has become extremely busy over the years, and we get a lot of people going by the front and there really isn't much distance between the front of the house and them. When we have company, we typically do pull back the sheers along with drapes. Apple pie order, I like the idea of repositioning/extending the drapery rods. If any of you ladies have photos of your living room, I'd love to see them. Maybe I could steal a tip or two from you....See Moremaifleur01
