Thanks, guys. I truly have and do fell your love and concern. There have been many late, sleepless nights when I came here for a much-needed visit. I would wrap your concern for each other around me like an old, familiar, bathrobe...fuzzy, comforting and stable. Again, thanks.

The thing is his prices always look high but then the box comes, it's seldom just a double fan, and every order this year had a couple of bonus plants. I really liked most of them, even the double. I guess you could say I'm making lemonade I'm putting spidery pollen on it to try and make some double spiders. I just wish I had asked him to put the scapes from LITTLE BIG EARS in the box so I could try and get some pollen out of them.

You all helped us a great deal planning our modern farm house. We wanted to say thank you for all the help and show some photos of our 2 year adventure that we took with your help. We would be happy to answer any questions. I am sorry the photos are so poor - they are actually inventory photos! I will put a link in for all of them. Here are some things that we love about the place: 1. Hide a Hose central VAC. 2. Blum motorized cabinets. 3. Metal roof. 3. The plan that we developed with the architect. 4. Motorized coupla windows. 5. Liebherr full built in (what a pain and drama but we love it). 6. The kitchen island. 7. Serena Lutron automated shades. 8. Insteon lighting system. 9. ELK alarm and automation system. Geothermal heating and cooling. An awesome Morso fireplace. A toto Neorest. Any questions please let us know and THANK YOU AGAIN! Here is a link that might be useful: Photos - Just snaps - Real photos on houzz soon!

Mara, welcome and good luck.. you have come to a very useful site for help. It's by far the best research tool I have found to help give clients an independent unbiased way to research and get opinions from a wide variety of people. Its only a part of the research you end up doing and need to do but it is a good one! Dont rule out aesthetics just because its small and functional. They are not mutually exclusive of one another.
