I'm Pretty Sure It Isn't My Fault.....
Comments (27)I have called that man a 'Snake Oil Merchant' from the very beginning and many a rose in my garden grows there because of his words alone, sight unseen. Ahem: This would be Angel Guimara"handsome glossy foliage, large waxy flowers of an extraordinary shade of white. The large white petals are tinted rose and yellow towards the base which glow up the petals in a magical way. Scented of tropical fruits." Mme. Joseph Parraud--'Large petaled flowrs of high-centered form, deep golden yellow, tinted with scarlet outsideand iinside a cup of deep coppy gold." Mme.d'Enfert"a seedling of Mme. Ernst Calvat waith the fragrance and generosity of its parent;flowers are large, globular, with rolled petal edges, lilac-blush to white tinted with rosy lilac on the edes almost in a picotee fashion. Superb fragrance." Check out the blurbs in the Vintage Catalog...if you dare. Of course if you have ever heard Gregg say "I love Mme. Calvat or any other of his 4000 roses you will begin to suspect more than snake oil...magic comes to mind. la la...See MoreHelp! Tile floor is down and I'm not sure it's right
Comments (13)Thank you all SO much. This forum is a wonderful sounding board with so much combined experience. These decisions can be a bit hairy at times, and your reassurance helps. Knowing that tile isn't the easiest thing to change, I really want to get it right the first time. I especially appreciate your comments of "warm" as that is exactly what I was going for -- a warm, old stone farmhouse kind of look. I am very happy with the variation in the tile. I can't find any duplicates. Would have loved real stone but wanted the ease of porcelain. lnersian - yes, I think it is the same tile! Yours may be the warmer color but it's difficult to tell. They really were quite close. Your kitchen is beautiful! I see you used the 2x2s on your backsplash as well. Very nice!...See Morefinally - it's finished and I'm a happy cook!
Comments (31)Rosieo: We did the backsplash over the stove about 7 years ago, liked it and kept it (much to the consternation of the most of the construction guys!) It's just plain 6" beige color tiles with some decorator tiles we cut to make a border. Unfortunately, they are discontinued. We kept a few of the smaller ones and my son put seven of them in 4" white square tiles that already had a 2" diamond shape cut out. The rest of the tiles are standard white subway tiles from HD....See Morequick opinion needed! not sure I should do what I'm thinking of
Comments (45)hi OB2B, so nice to meet you today? did you enjoy the tour? I had a chance to see a few of the houses this afternoon. It was a great day. steph2000, thanks so much! i think you are right re: the semi-flush. right now I am going to take a breather until the hood is ready. I pushed really hard to get this done for the tour today -- there were so many people here this week. will be nice to take a little break. deedles, I purchased the wolf 20" riser with shelf for behind the range. it isn't up yet. the guys were having trouble sliding the range out. the riser has to attach to the back of the range (i would have assumed it could just attach to the wall) and so the range has to slide out. The marble countertops are very tight to the range with really no gap at all so it was difficult for them and they were rushing so much to get so many things done that I suggested we address it later when they can slow down a little (I was a little afraid of them damaging the doors on my range ... they were pullling on them trying to slide it out and that was definitely not okay with me!)....See MoreKate618
