tedln- what kind of cucs are those. Mine are still white and are about 4-6 in. in diam and are too big. They never turned a nice green like yours. I think my cucs are a failure this year, UGH, I so wanted to can cucs. Can't figure out why they won't turn green before they are huge, even then they are still a whitish, pale green. Can you tell me what yours are?

Hi there..I might be alittle help. My whole house is on that paint strip except for the kitchen & DD's room upstairs, guestroom (upstairs) & my craftroom downstairs in the way back of the house. I have Ivorie in the FR, restrained gold in the DR, Mannergold in the master bedroom, Ivorie in the LR & foyer also, Eddie Bauer Amber yellow in the kitchen & blonde in the back area. I am inthe process of changing over to Photobucket but have albums on webshots of the whole house. I have accents of red in the DR & FR. Below is the link to webshots album & here is the link to my new PhotoBucket one of Christmas & 4 decorating pics. Bonnie Good luck with your selection & keep us posted! :) http://s442.photobucket.com/albums/qq146/BonnieRebecca2008/ Bonnie Here is a link that might be useful: Bonnie's home album

You will regret the dark one because it will show every speck of dust and dirt. I have Kahrs Canvas Collection in Bristle. Here's a pic and it looks fabulous in RL. I agree with the others that you absolutely should NOT do a black countertop. It would be a huge mistake especially if you're hoping to sell in a few years. Light and bright.

I am somewhat surprised to see that the influencers are not using their own lives to peddle influence, but rather making up stories no differently from the Mad men of yore creating Betty Crocker out of the blue. In my neck of the woods Williams-Sonoma, et al are always on the prowl for locations to shoot their catalogues. They pay home owners handsomely, I am told. They totally empty out the rooms they use, refilling them with their own merchandise and props. That seems very different from the IG situation where there is a person starring in the story, implying to my mind that the pictures they share represent their lives. At any rate there are some IG I really like and I am always amazed at how linked some of the people are on the various feeds. Here are three of my favorites individual IGs. I don't think any of these women is an influencer. None appear to be selling anything. This one is an American woman, married to an Englishman, living in Zurich. https://www.instagram.com/elizabethdemontfortwalker/?hl=en This is a French woman who shows us her life in Paris and the countryside, around Limoges. https://www.instagram.com/fehrenbachsophie/?hl=en This is an American woman, Maura Endres, in New Jersey. I learned about her from the L Bern blog. https://www.instagram.com/m.o.endres/?hl=en
