Yes, I made it out of 1" copper. I hunted around to find the wrought iron center piece and then designed the gate around it. Even the hinges are copper with ball bearings pressed into the fittings. The vine is actually the shrub rose 'Lyda Rose' that I am slowing adapting to the space. It was stunning last year and a welcome fragrant entrance to my pond/rock garden. Here is a link that might be useful:

I'm surprised I didn't respond to the other post. I actually had it open, must have gotten up or something. A while ago, I posted to a thread called Redoing white, white, white bathroom and mentioned the bathroom accessories I originally bought for my dad but liked it so much I bought it for us. It's called Spa Leaf, which is one of my favorite sets I've bought. I get tired of them quickly and like to change them out but haven't with this one yet.. it's been a year almost. There is a matching shower curtain, and from what I see of your tile, the green in it would probably go. The actual shower curtain I bought is the Moire which I bought in a blue that isn't available any more. It has a cute beaded valance for both the window & shower. A similar shower curtain is the Charisma Penneys has stuff in just about every color. I will usually only shop online for bedding, with curtains I try to go to the store as I can usually get a buy 1 get 1 for 99 cents. If you sign up for catalogs, you will get stuff that isn't even online or the store. Most times I don't even bother going out to look. The colors are true on my monitor, I do my order, go to google & put in JC Penney coupon code, then try to check out using 2 different codes, one for free shipping and one with a percentage off. I then drive the stuff back to the store when I'm done. I've found that for myself, shopping for the bedding online & having it shipped saves me money in gas as my store is 30 minutes one way. I order during a sale and usually use a code that is a percentage off on sale stuff too. If I bring it home & don't like it, that's another trip out until I do find something. Much easier to just order a bunch online and return what I don't like / want. I have a Penney's card which makes it easier. For your where do I shop: Penney's - comforters for all beds, sheets are usually my bed only as my mattress is thick, for all of the beds I buy flannel sheets from there or Sears; towels / shower curtains & curtains Next is shopping at Bed, Bath Beyond & Linens & Things. I can find the oddball curtain colors there.. like last April I bought new bedding for my daughter I couldn't find chocolate curtains at Penneys, it was at one of these two stores. I like the table linens from these two stores. I used to be able to buy towels there but they haven't had my colors the last times I shopped for towels. I look online then go out and buy from the store. Walmart - bedding for the kids. Neither likes a flat sheet so why spend the money? I've also bought my son's comforter there and find that they have a decent collection of flannel backed table cloths, and once a year I buy kitchen towels, usually spring; I buy multiples when I see one I like. Target - not much. I bought towels in sage & a certain blue I needed but the sage faded really quick. The fading wasn't the same with all towels either. The bath towel faded one way while the washcloth and hand towel faded another, so now I have 3 shades of faded sage towels that I need to replace :(

I like to give posters here the benefit of the doubt - who hasn't been young and stupid once (true confession at age 18 I abandoned a cat when I moved somewhere landlord said I couldn't have it -but the difference is within 30 hrs I was so hating myself I went back and got him with idea I would find him a home but ended up just keeping him - landlord be dmned. I since learned that a) may take a little longer but I could always find a place that accepts cats, b) a certain no. of landlords that initially say no can be persuaded by providing vet references and also I could spin it that having an older cat (that I would never dump or abandon) was actually a sign of maturity and taking responsibility and c) times when I had to find cats homes (eg other people abandoned) I was able to do so by networking friends/acquaintances + screening them to be sure it was good home. Like to give people benefit of the doubt while at the same time - have to have a healthy skepticism of things you read on the internet.... hate to say it but scammers who once may have accosted seniors in a parking lot with a sad story now do so online. May never know the truth of this matter - if she was sincere about finding him a temporary home then I hope she'll report back &/or ask for more brainstorming of ideas.

I have purchased my flooring, but have not yet installed, but I did learn a lot along the way. Lesson 1 - Black top driveways have oils that can make your LVT turn yellow. Someone told me that they had to replace their white a year after buying it because there was a yellow trail from their garage to their kitchen. The staining was not covered under the warranty. The flooring stores acted completely clueless, the manufacturer was vague until I pinned them to an answer and then they admitted that there is a clause that does not warranty against "Environmental Staining". https://www.wolfeflooring.com/blog/why-is-my-floor-turning-yellow/ Lesson 2 - look at photos with a whole room completed with the flooring. A single board or sample may look great, but the color variations and patterns can vary a lot from board to board and may look really busy when all laid out. Lesson 3 - same flooring may be available under several names and different prices at different stores. I saved about 30% of the total cost by shopping around and taking advantage of a sale. Link to a discussion with more information. https://www.houzz.com/discussions/5832512/lvp-help-sweet-talker-calypso-oak-sutton-or-royal-crest Lesson 4 - When I couldn't decide between 2 colors I ordered a box of each. The flooring store told me that if I buy both I can exchange the one I don't want for another box of the color I want. It was so much easier to decide with a whole box that I could set out and look at with my furniture and walls and fireplace.
