Would you share pictures of your landscaping
Comments (2)You're welcome to have a gander at my albums on Epson - give me a shout if you have any questions. Just to let you know, my yard is planted with a mix of Old and New World plants, but South Africa is represented, too. Here is a link that might be useful: Utah Street Succulentism...See Morewill you share pictures of your lived in marble floors?
Comments (3)We have carrera tile in our master bath - no pics, as I don't have any significant etching yet. Ok, maybe a couple of drips around the toilet from my kids wanting to use our bathroom... (grr). I love it, can't see the bathroom without it, and figure if it gets bothersome at some point, I will have it repolished. No biggie. If you love stone, the beauty of it is that it can always be refinished. Just be sure to seal it so that staining isn't an issue and it is just etching....See MoreChoosing brick/stone
Comments (11)Thank you all for the feedback. So, I did alot of driving around trying to find some inspiration. Here's the house I really like: I never thought I would like a white house until I saw this! I have no idea if this was painted/whitewashed/mortar washed (well, I don't really know what the differences are). Or, maybe it's a white brick that did not require any additional treatment. Do they exist? I'm contacting 2 brick companies tomorrow to give me an idea what brick they used on this house. I did talk to my builder and discussed what kind of extra cost it would be to if we whitewash the brick. He's guessing extra $10k!!! Ouch! But he thinks the above house was painted considering the consistency. I really like it BUT: 1. I'm worried about resale. I know one realtor who just built a new house (same price range) who painted the brick white. Her house is all white but not as pretty as the one above. Does this mean it would be safe to assume that resale is not a problem? FYI, I have not found that many white brick houses in the area. 2. Maintenance. Main reason we want brick/stone everywhere is for low maintenance. If we do paint/whitewash, that means it's no longer low maintenance, right???? 3. how it ages. I guess this is also considered maintenance, but I'm concerned how white brick would look over time. Would it eventually look dingy? Any ideas to achieve the above look without doing any painting/whitewashing??? I have been looking at lighter bricks. Maybe this will be a good enough alternative. Any thoughts/comments highly appreciated. Thanks!...See Morepictures of your mantle decor
Comments (57)Thanks demifloyd & Decor Diva. I will try to post some pics on the kitchen forum. Decor Diva, you asked about the mantle & columns, they are Cantera Stone. Here is a description of Cantera: "Cantera Stone Cantera is a natural igneous stone, formed as a result of the intense heat and pressure associated with volcanic activity. Porous and lightweight, cantera stone is a preferred construction materials throughout the ages, for its natural beauty, exquisite color varieties, texture and durability. Many ancient buildings and monuments in Mexico, made of cantera stone, have stood the test of time for thousands of years. The unique composition of these stones make them ideal for carving. They are strong and durable yet relatively light weight. A porous stone, Cantera's molecular structure allows it to absorb air and humidity without causing the stone to change shape, an indispensable quality for construction materials." One more picture shows some of the stone with cantera:...See MoreSandy1963
