Oh, Logees' was bearable..I did go with Rose and Wes..lol That place always smells so good and so much to chosse from...It's funny though..Every time I go there, I am made to realize I already have most of the ones they have..ha..I am always on the prowl for something new, different and a plant that whaffs through the air! It was so warm in there too while it was cold outside..Sheesh, If I could only work there. Kandhi..Thanks...I love those roses..I am also getting one of those...I think I will put it under my arbor...Cab't wait. Do you have o treat them for fungus or mold during the summer at all? Powdery mildew? MIke

"...I know what you're saying VirgilC, I'm just going to keep banging my head on this wall until..we get up the nerve to call on an architect I guess..." Well, yes, it can be fun searching and playing with stock floor plans. But unless one can find a stock plan that is virtually perfect for one's needs, with few revisions, it's often a frustrating waste of time. A much more productive approach may be to: --Create a list of priority "wants" and a second list of nice to have "desires, that both partners agree on; --Create a list of furniture and equipment, with dimensions, that a new house must accomodate; --Create a summary of lineal footage of storage necessary for the new house (chothes closets, food storage, etc.) And present these lists to an architect experienced with the successful design of houses of a size and character that are representative of one's interest. Working with your architect, all of the subsequent development of a responsive and successful house design will flow naturally (and enjoyably). Presenting a stock house plan to a licensed architect for a "few revisions" is like presenting an Internet diagnosis for an illness to a physician and asking for a written prescription based on the Internet diagnosis. It's an inaccurate and time-wasting (and money wasting) exercise that will only be frustrating to everyone. Additionally, in most states, it's illegal for a licensed architect to stamp designs not prepared by her/him or under her/his direct supervision. So whatever stock plan an owner may present will have to be completely revised and redrawn, and, of course, the experienced architect will see many errors, omissions and possible improvements to a stock plan far beyone what an average consumer will ever see. Finally, many folks are apprehensive to commission an architect to design their house and prepare the important construction drawings and specifications due to presumed expenses. The fact is, these early expenses are an owner's best investment to minimize construction-phase (too low) allowances by builders, minimize costly change-orders and to have a clear set of documents that illustrate fully the owner's desire for their house. Complete construction drawings and specifications become a legal instrument as the basis for a construction contract that is in the owner's interests, rather than simply turning everything over to the builder and hoping the builder will put owner interests before builder interests. Just some thoughts. I think you'd be a lot better using your time and energy working through your key planning and design criteria than searching the web for stock plans and spending considerable time wondering if/how they might be changed to fit your needs. Hope this helps. Good luck with your project.

A small bath needs FEW materials/changes. Go back to the tile shop. The combinations of mosaic and large format are nearly infinite. You are in love with ONE thing from a display. : ) It's not the only tile you can love, nor the only sleek pale beige and ivory bath possible. I don't see the "fantastic" in it, quite honestly. Maybe its the picture.You don't even NEED an accent in the wall tile. Tile doesn't "absorb" . EVER. That's its purpose. Unless you mean needing no seal. That is true of all porcelain tiles. Only stones, marble, slate would need a seal prior to install. PS........ take my advice. Skip the ivory for WHITE > Much fresher and modern

I think it's 1920s-30s, definitely with Jacobean influences in those fat legs but probably all kinds of influences. I know they aren't super trendy right now but I love these cabinets and yours has really nice details. Will you be able to glue the wood doodads back together after replacing the glass? Unless it's marked or you get randomly lucky and find a catalog, it will be hard to learn the manufacturer of it. Good score!
