Can you show me your rose beds (or, where do you plant your roses
Comments (34)CI, TZ, SdlM all growing nicely now. I think this will be a good fragrance bed. I put Lion's rose in the back to add beauty and a good leafy background even though it isn't much on scent. I think if the base gets shaded by the others, it won't get disease. There's room to the right of Abe Darby for one more big rose. I think it's going to be Evelyn. Hopefully, it will work some magic for me. This is a good morning sun spot and gets shade in the hottest times of the day. My summer is a little hotter than Hoovb's but maybe it's close enough. I'm going to hope for the best. The only downside to this location is that it will take the full force of the Santa Ana wind from across the street. We are along the Santa Ana river channel and the wind blows strongly through the gap. It seems to be shifting later than Halloween now. I used to call it the Halloween Wind....See MoreHow often do you/have you revamped your beds?
Comments (21)-Sararock, Lol! I'm always calling myself a slacker when it comes to weeding and doing things I don't like in the garden! But moving plants is kind of fun so I don't mind doing that ;-) Technically, fall and spring are the best times to move things around. The cooler and usually wetter conditions make it easier for the plant to recover and re-establish itself than if it were moved in the full heat of summer. But I've never been one to follow rules ;-) It was last summer that I became fully annoyed with how the garden was looking, so decided to get things moved around right then and there! Of course, it was hot out and after I moved everything they started to wilt terribly and look as if they were on the brink of croaking. I was left scrambling to keep everything hydrated and even got out a big beach umbrella to shade a few plants, lol. But it felt good to get it all accomplished and everything came back nicely this spring. CMK...See MoreWhat type of light do you have above your kitchen sink?
Comments (8)If you're worried about yanking out the valance, just get a new fluorescent fixture. My old kitchen had one of those with the plastic sheet over a very retro tube and it was nasty yellow but otherwise a great fixture. New diffuser and new bulbs (and maybe new fixture to get modern fluorescent bulbs) can make a big difference. It's actually a pretty good system as far as useful lighting goes, although there is no decorative element involved. I skipped the valance after the remodel and put in a surface mount can sort of fixture (still fluorescent); in a more traditional kitchen I would have (and have) done a pendant because they're fun. You can pretty much put in anything with good lighting that won't hang low enough to bonk your noggin. Get something that makes you smile.

Comments (6)Use door toppers: http://www.corallight.com/shop.cfm?tgt=dept&DID=8 http://victorianwooddesigns.com/headers.htm http://www.norsecrafts.com/doortops.htm http://www.wroughtirondecorstore.com/lowaddoto.html http://www.saladotex.com/WALL_TAPESTRY_TOPPERS_RODS_HARDWARE.html http://www.craftcompany.com/sticks-door-toppers.html http://www.kccreationsinc.com/ http://www.ruthconklingallery.com/doortops.htm Or do a search for door toppers on eBay. Or find an architectural piece you like. There are some cool things at Michaels. They also have plaques you can paint. You may find something fabulous at a salvage yard. Or, letter a sign over the door. Or, buy antique signs on eBay. Or paint flowers/vines over door tops. Or stencil over the door. Or put up a pretty silk flower swag. Or do raised plaster stencils. http://www.victorialarsen.com/Plaster%20Stencils/plaster_stencils_home_new.htm...See Morenewdawn1895
