Some pics from my young garden( Photo heavy)
Comments (9)Thank you all for your compliments! The Cl.Pinkie is also one of my favorites and I love how she has done in that corner. Very easy to train rose. Juliet- Thank you for such a beautiful description. Yes, Summerville is a beautiful place to live. It is also called Flower Town as it if full of flowers all year and had loads of gorgeous old plantation houses. Just 20-30 min from historic Charleston. Just yesterday I went for a walk downtown and admired the courtyard gardens full of roses, lovely little flower boxes bursting with color and lots of other flowers. Must come and visit sometime! Masha- Ducher was stunning this year. IN the pic of the driveway border its the one not blooming. She was the first to come into her spring flush. Ingrid- Thank you, yes I do put a lot of thought into flower choices and combination. Cottage gardening is my style and I try to keep the eye flowing through the garden with repeating colors and heights. I do still have a lot of grass and I am working on it. I do have another large rose/perennial bed with several other roses and plants but they are not in the photos. I have the whole side yard planned out but due to the hard terrible clay soil I have started doing the lasagna bed method of laying down cardboard and layering like a compost pile. It worked fantastic last year! I love this method, saves my back, the plants I planted this spring have taken off in it. I'll show some pic's soon. ~Meghan...See MoreWhat wood color or do painted cabs with my choices... pic heavy
Comments (23)prill... I really am contemplating using IKEA boxes and DH will build the door fronts. The only doors I will have are at the sink base and corner. I'm planning on uppers only the long 10' west wall where the window is. I think I want SS and glass there; kinda like the horizontal IKEA ones (if not those exactly); but I'll play that by ear. The style will be a very wide rail/style shaker like this: That is the Ultracraft door that I first fell in love with in the red birch. I think it's gorgeous but I'm just not seeing the reddish tone in my kitchen with the bakers table and floor. What do you all think? wolfgang, thanks for the compliment. Those trees are Latanya palms. (not sure if I spelled it correctly) When the really mature, they'll form a canopy over the pool. OH... and about wood cabs. I also adore walnut and teak but wonder if it would be too dark or if the teak would be too "streaky" with the floor....See MoreOh help please bad color choice (pic heavy)
Comments (36)Yes, definitely try out a bunch of color boards before deciding -- colors are so tricky and can look so different in context as opposed to on the computer screen. Whatever you choose, you will certainly wind up with a gorgeous workspace. I do recommend getting your chosen color made up in Benjamin Moore's Aura paint (they can match any other brand's color exactly) - it goes on so beautifully and is very washable. I'm loving mine in my kitchen, which by the way is an antique yellow that took about 8 tries to get right -- so don't be feeling bad about one little blue goof!! :)...See MoreGranite is in!! BS choice?? (pic heavy!)
Comments (13)Well...i don't really know the plans yet! LOL! All I know for sure is the only thing DH has decided in the reno was the cabinet handles and from day 1 said, "the only thing I ask is for glass tiles in the BS". I tend to think they are more modern, but he worked his tail off getting the floors in, so I am giving him his glass tile! It is also $43/sq ft!!!!! so they will only be an accent! Here are the inspiration pictures for my backsplash..but I think instead of the whole strip of accent tiles, we just want a square of 9 tiles (like in the sample board) every so often. I like the bottom row flat as a border, then the rest set at an angle. But I don't know...do you like the entire row of accent tile? My worry was the tile above might be too light for the granite?...See MoreGena Hooper
