Email and I will give you her phone number. Consider yourself emailed! I appreciate you giving me an "in" on this! I don't know all of those hostas,but Island Charm is a weak grower. Mine just faded away,until it was gone. Just a precaution. You may have better luck! Phil**** Island Charm is beautiful, but the leaves don't have a lot of substance and flop and tear easily. White Christmas is similar and much tougher. Thanks! These are the kinds of things I would love to know! but I'm adding Orange Marmalade. It's outstanding, and has a peachy color that no other hosta has. OMG...I think I just got goosebumps! That is SO sweet!! It's on my list and it has stars next to it....hoping that DH gets the hint with the stars (hehe). Niagara Falls - hello..it's by Olga AND has montana genes...need I say more? LOL! I read you loud and clear! And this, too, has stars next to it! I was smart enough to get a Montana in my earlier hosta shopping spree...thanks to the guy running the show. I know it's going to take time and I am not patient so I will continue to buy other hostas to fill my needs while I wait for Montana to grow. Maybe I am gushing but this forums is fabulous!! You have all been so helpful and I look forward to learning more and maybe even sharing my own pics someday! :) Thanks, Everyone! Kristy

Does anyone know if or how we can still get the following Nichols & Stone furniture? We had decided to get the Marseilles collection in the cherry wood color after we got our room painted. Unfortunately, they sold the company while we were in the process of painting. We are looking for the Marseilles Queen Sleigh Bed; the Marseilles Tall Chest, the Marseilles Dressing Chest, the Marseilles Dresser, two of the Marseilles Bedside Chests (will take night stands if that is all we can get), and one of the Marseilles Rectangular Mirror. I presume we would have to be lucky enough to find old stock somewhere. Does anyone know where? If not, any ideas for similar style, price point and quality? Thanks Jason

Or another alternative if you are dead set on installing a gas rangetop is a plug in portable induction unit. This would allow you to pull it out when making pasta or hosting parties. These won't have the performance of a built in unit, but an option. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Portable+induction+ If I was buying one, I would splurge on a hospitality grade one. MIL has the 48 inch Wolf Rangetop with integrated griddle that runs on propane. I honestly prefer the cooking performance of my Bluestar I have the Electrolux Wave Touch ovens. Do I use half the buttons, no, but it's an amazing oven and I'm really happy with it fwiw. But, if you like the other Kitchen Aid appliances you may be able to purchase a suite and receive a discount. So, the KA oven may be better for you. These guys aren't joking on venting. I was shocked when remodeling to learn how much vents cost. There is a laundry forum, you may get more feedback on the whirlpool machines there. HTH

We're looking at under-cabinet 36" range hoods. Our cooktop is a 5-burner 59K BTU (Bosch 800 series). I will never use all five burners at once. Maybe three burners on occasion, but typically only two at a time. My range hood wish list: Works with existing 6" ducting Baffle filters CFM: 400 min to 700 max Buttons (rather than switches or knobs) Quiet on low speeds. I expect noise at high speed! Under $700 Finding such a hood is harder than I thought, mainly because I like to read reviews and I'm having trouble finding any (or many). Here are the ones I've been looking at: Windster RA 34L - 520cfm. Would be perfect, but I hesitate because I simply can't find any reviews. Kobe's CHX91 - 680cfm. looks like everything we want, but apparently it's horrible to install. Zephyr Hurricane - 695cfm. Great reviews and price, but it has residue cups instead of filters. Does anyone have experience with this model? Is it hard to clean? Zephyr Tempest I - 650cfm. On sale, it's still a little out of our price range. I can't find many reviews of this one either. I'd love feedback on these or comparable hoods. Thanks for being an awesome community!
