Hello goats (cristi) That is a wonderful idea, I have 2 small fish tanks I could easily add seeds to and put in a south side window. I am in zone 5 so I think the south is best here. Also, I noticed your name, It is not often that I see someone spell Cristi the same way I do! Thank you for the info =) Cristi

Well, little by little I have been able to go through the boxes. The cursory review/sort is just that. Sort out what "appears" to be sellable, box up what's not. I just filled the back of my SUV with "the stuff that's NOT" and so far, I have found a few interesting things. Of ocurse the fur coat, a few neat old frames, an old wood table with bad legs, but a good top. I'll have to figure out with the old bottles, what's what. that will take some time. There has been a mix of old vintage dishes (looks like something we might have had in the 70-80's. And a hodpodge of china plates, platters, and such. Still LOTS of work ahead, but here are some pictures not necessarily some of the best stuff, but maybe worthwhile (the larger bean pot has the blue crown symbol on it meant to turn it so it would show. Many of the china dishes were wrapped up in woman's slips and old pajama bottoms, etc. The bean crocks, were burried in a box of junky xmas decorations, which about didn't catch my attenion. This woman had more wicker than any human being should ever be allowed to have.

I had a look there as I'm looking for that Pottery Barn, Arhaus, etc look. I also found www.SofaUSA.com which also has the same transitional styles. I ordered leather samples from both companies, I will let you know what they're like when I get them. I also read that another forum member was very happy with the leather furniture they received from SofaUSA.com. Here is a link that might be useful: Pottery Barn Looking Leather Furniture - Sofausa.com

catheemivelaz, amazing....I was just getting ready to do the exact same thing, i.e., come on here to recommend Your Home Supply. I have ordered all of my knobs and pulls from them, stretched out over four or five orders the last couple of months. When I first started using them, they had a very limited selection and I was lucky enough to find knobs and pulls that were just what I wanted in style. Mine were ORB but less than $2 each so I fully expected them to be cheapos and thus ordered just one of each to "test" them. The quality was so good I quickly placed my order expecting them all to be gone soon...but lo and behold when I went to order for the next room, the same thing happened. The last time I went on I noticed that their selection has grown a lot and some of the prices are higher than mine were but maybe they are still tremendous bargains. I later found some of my knobs at Home Expo 60% marked off and they were still more than Your Home Supply. I have found out that some of my knobs are by Alno and some are by House of Knobs; others I still don't know for sure. However, I can say that of the 5 different styles I've ordered, all of them have been excellent quality and the YHS service has been impeccable--and prompt. My cabinetmaker and GC were also impressed and my KD asked for the name for referrals...so I second your recommendation!
