Please tell me what to order! Just tell me!
Comments (11)I have a few of these in the yellow/orange range that work well for me and am near you geographically. Joseph's Coat would be nice since it changes color as it opens, with yellows oranges, and red tones fading as it opens. Pretty with a spicy scent, gets big if it has the space, but you can train it if you get the canes when they are thin. Once the get thicker, they only want to go UP, topping out at about 8 feet in my garden. Blooms don't last long, but I love it anyway cause it does repeat throughout the summer (2 - 3 bloom cycles). Westerland is more narrow and more orange, I've only had it for 2 seasons and moved it once so I can't give you the long term prognosis yet, but it's pretty. Blooms also don't last long, but I wanted a change from pinks so it gives me a splash of orange from time to time. Golden Showers is vigorous and the size you want, blooms yellow and just barely double blooms that last only 2 - 3 days. I removed mine but a friend of mine loves hers. Matter of taste. Renae is a beautiful light pink but gets HUGE, so don't think you want that, I took mine out since it was eating my house. Stay away from the New Dawns and derivatives since they will also get too huge for your space and have deadly thorns, I've removed 5 of them cause they hurt me. Eden is nice, white with pink edged blooms, but mine was not very vigorous - only one cane after 5 years? Buh bye. Removed it. Antike 89 has beautiful full blooms that last a long time, white with red edge, not that fragrant but gorgeous and cut well, it can be trained as a shorter climber. I have 2 of them and one is in 1/2 shade and is still growing new canes every year. Tough cookie. It is spiny/thorny but will blend well with the reds you have. This year I hard pruned the one in the sunnier spot since it was getting too tall to see the blooms, it came back well and is now about 5' tall - so it prunes well and can be trained/pruned to be a tall shrub if that is what you want. I have no experience with Nehama, looks pretty though. I have the regular Tiffany (they have the climber), it's pretty but not that vigorous (only a few blooms a year...might just have to get rid of it if it doesn't shape up). I don't know the location you have, but of the ones I see, Antike 89 and Joseph's Coat would be my picks if I had to do it again with what I now know from experience. They are vigorous, will recover from pruning to keep in the shape you want, and re-bloom well. Good luck...See MorePlease tell me it's not just me...
Comments (36)Javachik--thanks for posting! This gave me a much needed kick in the pants. And your daughter is beautiful! This thread totally captures my m.o. I considered starting a similar thread a couple weeks ago, but I got distracted.. ;-) Lately, my MBR is the unending 'work in progress.' I spent several months shopping for a new duvet cover, then finally gave up (couldn't find the colors I wanted) and purchased a regular comforter. It took me two months to put the new comforter on the bed & store my old duvet covers. For about a year, I've intended to buy new chairs to replace the wicker chairs at the foot of the bed. I finally ordered some a couple weeks ago, and DH assembled them last weekend. Now I need to work on replacing art in that room. I framed & hung prints over the bed yesterday, but I still need something to put over DH's nightstand. I promised myself that I wouldn't post to this thread until I'd made progress on at least one more task! So that motivated me to do a 'test run' of various framed prints that I have in other rooms to see if anything works in the MBR, and confirmed what I suspected (none of them quite suit the space over DH's nightstand). So I will probably order something tonight. This thread also motivated me to frame one of my uncle's drawings (I bought the frame in September(!) but just ordered a custom mat last weekend). I ordered custom wood blinds for the MBR in November(!), and they're still in the boxes in the sunroom. My goal for today is to decide whether we can hang the blinds ourselves, or whether we will hire a handyman. I couldn't hang them when they first arrived because I had major neck pain in Nov-December, but that subsided in early January, so it's no longer an excuse....See MorePlease tell me what brand & color paver to use, I'm so confused
Comments (2)shelly 2, I see your questions going unanswered so I respond with just an observation. Sometime activity spawns more activity/responses. I think color is very personal and hard to given anything more than standard "color wheel" advice. I think: If you like it, buy it! If you're having trouble visualizing, then I'm with you. Colors on the micro-level (chips) and the macro-level (house, rooms, floors.....) sometimes don't match up in my eye. Good luck, and given your insights already shared I'm sure you do just fine following what you like in colors. As for brand, I have even less to share, I have some pavers that were installed by my "deck guy" about 15 years ago and they're holding up fine. I don't know anything about them other than to say they have an old soft look, and are red/earth tones. They get heavy foot traffic and regardless of their "soft" look, they look as good as when installed, to my poor memory....See MoreOk to mix appliance brands in kitchen? Please tell me Yes!
Comments (25)My husband (tho we dont' live 2gether) has all GE monogram appliances except for his Miele built in espresso unit. His kitchen is very nice - 6 burner stove, griddle, side oven, etc. BUT HE DOESN'T COOK.... He feels I should have all my appliances match in my new home. I feel function is more important, as I do cook. I do use my kitchen and liking my appliances is more important than how they "look" to visitors. But, I would match my range/stove to my hood. Only because they seem like 1 appliance. So far I have picked a Bosch slide in range, hood custom from cabinet maker, Samsung cabinet depth frig, Sharp mw drawer, and I'm leaning towards a Kitchenaid dw. A Bosch dw would match nice, but since it's smaller than the KA, I prefer the KA. My frig and stove are on the same wall. mw on island, and diswasher on another wall. While I would like the handles to be pretty similar or if KA had thier new dw without a handle (that would be perfect - they don't) but, I don't think it's gonna look "god awful" not being matchy-matchy. I'm heading to Lowes today, just to compare before I finalize on my dw. All other appliances are purchased, and I can't return them. I'm hoping guests look more at my cabinets and counters than my appliances. Good Luck in your choices...See More
