Hi! It's Me ttodd!

12 years ago

Just wanted to let anyone interested or curious know that for various reasons I changed my username from ttodd to TheFoxesPad. No, I don't think I'm a fox but my dog looks like one though! She had no bearing on the new username though. It's more of a tongue in cheek, inside joke about our family and 'fox' being used for generations on DH's side of the family. Guess I'm totally in the family fold now that I'm honoring/ embracing their traditions.

Anyway - just wanted to let you know that while my posting has been sporadic lately that I haven't dropped off the face of GW when you won't see ttodd any longer. Take care!

Glad you clued us in. Here I thought you were going to announce the Grand Opening of your new business and I was all set to cross the mighty Delaware and brave city traffic to browse your new shop.

ttodd: pics of caramel paint?
Q
Comments (9)
So sorry! I've been off working on my art (I tend to lose track of time & will paint for weeks oblivious to everything else) and I didn't see your post until the other day. I've been trying to get decent pic's of it since for you. Please note that I haven't straightened up in here for awhile because I'm on the fence about the color & may repaint a rich camel (instead of caramel) color when I decide to look for it. For me the Classic Caramel pulls just a hair too much to the 'clay' or 'reddish' side by day. It's perfect at night though which is why I'm hesitant to change. This is the truest pic of the color during daylight hrs: In this pic the way the color shows up is perfect but it's definitely slightly altered (not as rich?)as to what it really looks like on the wall during the day: At night: Of course this could all be my imagination and eyes playing tricks on me. I'm also waiting on my final decision until DH gets my chandelier hung up that matches my cursed candleabra's. Holy cow am I embarrassed to post these pics w/ my house in such a disarray! Lots of stuff from the Bombay Co closing that we are still sorting through and storing for other people until they can pick it up.

As a follow-up to ttodd's thread....
Q
Comments (31)
Well, back in the Summer of 2009 my dh thought we were replacing our laminate counters with granite. And that would be it. Needless to say we did a little more than that. I'm always thinking about what's next....and this is what scares him the most. For 2011: I will have the floor in the laundry room "finished", just not sure what we are doing in there, idea was to just run the cork from the kitchen in there and be done with it. Since we have the cork, this will be a free project, so it might be the way to go. Finishing the basement, but not in a BIG way, just walls, ceiling and carpet. Bang For Your Buck will not be visiting, that's for sure. My DD2's bedroom. Poor thing. She's a junior in college and she has a neon colored room. Very cool room, I must admit--great horizontal striped I painted. But alas, she would like an elegant grown up room. Looks like my Gravender will get to be used after all. In fact, I need to buy some Kilz Primer, maybe this weekend I can get this project started. Would be nice to be done before she's home on Spring Break. I'm sure that I will be painting our MBR, the terracotta is just dated to me. Others would disagree and moan and tell me it to keep it, but I'm over it. The Master Bath needs some work too, perhaps gelstaining the oak cabinets in there to a dark espresso color. If this is all my dh knows I'm planning in there, I can always escalate the project as we go. It's how I roll. patty_cakes, I think you should save this thread, and pull it out 1/2 way through the year so we all can check back in on our progress. And then again next January.

ttodd-where did you find your pillows?
Q
Comments (3)
Hi, I'm not Ttodd, but I do know she found the pillows at JC Penney. I also bought one of the floral pillows, intending to buy more or locate coordinating fabric, but JCP doesn't have any more at the stores near me (and haven't for a while), nor can you get them through their paper or online catalog. I DID find the floral fabric locally, though, and found also a coordinating stripe. If you like, I can call the fabric store to find out who makes it and what it's called. Let me know if you'd like me to do that! I also have a couple of small swatches of both the floral and the stripe if you'd like me to mail them to you. Kim

Ttodd - question about your pic frames.
Q
Comments (5)
Hey Shee! I don't use anything to do mock-ups of what the final arrangement will be. I'm totally visual to the nth degree and need to work the the actual object. I have no problem w/ swiss cheese walls since nothing is ever really perm. on my walls. In order of your list: The center frame is an 8x10 in an 11x14 frame The middle 2 horizontal are 5x7 in 8x10 frames The large bottom is an 11x14 in a 16x20 frame That particular arrangement was congigured on my DR table when it was fully extended. I've also fully cleared my office and used the entire floor and viewed the layout from a ladder. After I have an arrangement that I like I take a picture of it and work off it to hang them.

Thanks for the heads up!

I would've been more than a little surprised to see someone trying to pass off pics of ttodd's house as their own.

But are you a "Stone-Cold" Fox...?!?!

(sorry...couldn't resist that one!)

Back the 70's in HS, THAT was a SERIOUS compliment to a "Hot Chick"!!!

Yes, thanks for the update. I too would have cried foul had I seen your office photos posted by someone other than ttodd. (Sometimes I feel I know some posters' houses better than my own ! )

Aaaahhh Maire Cate I wish! I did make it very vocally known to my boss that come this Fall we had to have the insurance/ business end of the practice running smoothly so that I could cut out in the early afternoons to allow myself enough time to follow my dreams. Haven't mentioned transitioning out of my position when it was feasible because I might give her a heart attack. Things are going better than expected w/ our furniture repair/ refinish business so I may be on a faster track than what I'd planned on that side. DH got his dream, working on my bosses dream practice - I'm next!

Faron LOL!!! at 5:30AM - almost woke DH up!

Ah ha! I've been away for a little while and came back the other day. Saw a post by TheFoxesPad and thought, oh good a new poster. Then I saw a post of the dark desk with light accessories, and thought wait, I know that desk, but it's not todd's post! Well, thank goodness a search on GW actually worked and I found this post. Thought I was really losing it!

Good luck with the new business!
