Comments (3)When I pull out the rootball, I try to extract about 1 cubic foot of old potting mix, then I add the same in new potting mix, stir it in and add Lime and Tomato-tone fertilizer. I will do this again in Year 3 as well, then in Year 4, I will empty out the 'Tainer completely, and reload with 100% new potting mix, using the old stuff somewhere else in the yard.

Comments (3)essdana, our color choices were very different from yours, but we found a gorgeous collection of glass tiles at s'tile here in Portland, Oregon. (Our backsplash features Il'Vetri glass tile.) Mouse over the thumbnails in the link below to see bigger images. Your tile installer may be interested to know that we affixed the tile to the wall with Dow 999a, and grouted with Laticrete Spectralock epoxy.

Comments (19)What are the brands of those tiles? Shaw Midori, by chance? I ask because I have some bathroom tile that looks similar to the first one, and I could photograph it for you if it was. what color do you want to bring out of the bianco antico? (grey tones or brown tones?) I really do not like the second tile from that photo. It looks like it competes for attention too much (like the last poster mentioned.) The third also looks, to me, like the color wouldn't match..... but I'm not sure what overall colors you have. I just remember the bianco antico I looked at would match brown tones better. Last comment.... my floors are dark wood with white cabinets and black countertops. The floors did not darken the space or make it too dark. Since the cabinets are white, it still is a very bright space. The floors just contrasted that and maybe made them seem even brighter......See MoreFinally!! Chose my counter; picked out my marble slab!
Comments (15)Mine is on the diagonal and I can say it does not look busy. The veining is irregular, too, though it mostly flows in one direction. My kitchen has a lot going on and that was one more thing! I fretted over that, but it's fine. I'm sure you've got great fabricators...but I didn't get the warm and fuzzies from mine so I insisted on seeing the templates laid on the stone as they planned to cut them BEFORE they actually cut them. It took 4 visits for them to get it right. I am very glad I made them take that extra step. I was adamant about the fact that I wanted all the flow to go in the same direction across the kitchen. Initially, they had everything laid on the marble every which way. If they had cut it like that, I would have had seams come together like a V and that's not how the stone flows. So it meant jockeying some pieces around. It seemed like an obvious request to me, but they thought I was crazy! You can stand in one corner and look across all perimeters and the islands and see that the veins of the stone all go the same way...not zigzag at seams. You may want the zigzags, however, so be sure you plan it out that way. Plan out your pieces on graph paper and shade in your "pattern." Cut and place your pieces like you want them. That's the only way it will flow the way YOU want. (In fact, I would scale counter cutouts to an 8 x 10 print of the slab and template the print!) I apologize if I'm overstepping my bounds and telling you something you already know! :) You have a gorgeous slab! I really hope you can capture that chunk of veining in the upper lefthand corner (island?)...and I hope you get a counter out of that mid-right to lower middle-running vein. Mmmm. Mmmm. Scrumptious!!...See MoreRelated Professionals
