You might have better luck over in the Bird Watching forum, rather than in the hummingbird forum. But, having said that, I had one of those feeders (but I opted for no cage), and for the life of me, don't recall where I purchased it. The only place I can think that I ordered it may have been Duncraft, and you've probably already checked there... Here is a link that might be useful: Bird Watching Forum

Never thought much about that subject. I've always assummed that 'steps' were the individual treads such as the board(s) that form the tread, or the lump of concrete that made one stepping surface. The 'riser' is the vertical piece under the tread. The entire assembly treads (steps), risers, handrails, and support pieces under the steps, is called 'stairs'. The number of items making a set of stairs is not fixed; some stairs have balistrades and others do not. Most strairs have hand rails but some do not especially in old farm houses. There are places in the world where stairs is a flight of steps and nothing else - no handrails, etc. At my location, builders describe a 'stoop' as a one or two step assembly in front of an entryway, side door, back door, or side door of a garage. I get confused because where I grew up, a stoop included a small roof over the entryway. Without that roof, the stoop became "steps". I am confused. My language has failed me.

The Home Decorating forum is really good with color, too (especially when working with a bunch of neutrals and various textures), so try to cross-post over there, too. :-)

North facing rooms will be dark most of the day and pick up purple tones from any paint. I would look carefully at the undertones and the formulas to ensure you don't have a lot of red and blue if you can't tell from the paint itself. I had a home with a north facing kitchen that I actually wanted to bring out the purple in so I purposefully went with a barely periwinkle gray that appeared full on periwinkle in that space. I suspect you don't want purple in your room. North facing rooms will also make your color appear deeper so you want something with a high light reflective value. My vote is for BM Gentle Cream.
