If you want to vote for my space...

13 years ago

Ok,this is probably dumb, but I figured I was lucky once when I won my backsplash, perhaps lady luck will smile upon me again.

We entered our kitchen and family room in a contest, if you feel so inclined, would you mind voting? If not, that's ok. You all helped me so much with my decisions I thought you might be interested.

Actually, a lot of you should enter your own spaces!

Thanks if you do vote for me!

What's not to love Bee? You have a gorgeous space! Do you have to have a facebook page to vote?
Am I the only person on the planet that doesn't? :)

Help! No indoor space. I want to winterize my potted herbs.
Q

Rosemary - border line on being able to survive winters in zone 6 and then only if they are of the more hardy varieties like "arp." I have personally never gotten rosemary to survive the winter indoors or out. Thyme - survives the winter well for me. I have them in the ground and in a well-drained (key!) location Oregano - an old warhorse that comes back from each winter bushier and stronger than ever. All my herbs are in the ground so I can't say how well oregano or any of the others will fare in pots. African Sage - there seemed to be a couple of plants with this name. Not sure which you have but they all were too tender for an outdoors winter in zone 6. Basil - annual. 1 growing season life-cycle. It will not last the winter no matter what you do. Enjoy it now. Marjoram - this is a tender plant as well and won't over winter outside in your zone. FataMorgana

Nominate & Vote for Paint color for my Basement

My vote is for BM Manchester Tan because I have it in my family room and I love it. To me it's the perfect neutral (and I am not a neutral kind of girl!). It sometimes leans gray, so I think it will coordinate nicely with the rest of your house. But, I have to say that I do not think it will matter if you paint down there, or just prime. By the time lookers get to the basement in your beautiful house, as long as it's clean and dry, it's not going to matter. They will be sold long before they get there!

Space around microwave -- please vote
Q

I ended up with the smaller MW. The contractor will install one piece of trim at the top only so the space at the top will be the same as the sides. I found myself nodding my head when reading pharaoh's comment, even though I hope that the MW will be good for many, many years. It may end up as a dust collector, but at least I can easily remove it to clean inside the cab. Even though I've called it the smaller MW, the turntable is 15" and it will easily hold a 9 x 13 pan. Thank you all GWrs who responded! A note on technology: I don't understand it either but it seems that heating the same cup of water in a smaller oven means that the microwaves have less distance to travel and thus work faster. Here are my very unscientific test results for heating one mug (12 oz or so) of water to a full rolling boil: -- My mother's enormous 650 watt MW that should be donated to the Smithsonian: 4 minutes or never -- Developer POS MW, 700? watts circa 1988, largish size: 3 min. plus -- Whirlpool, 1100 watts circa 2002, approx 1 CF: 2:45 -- Panasonic 2008, 2.2 CF: 2 minutes -- Panasonic 2008, 1.6 CF: 1:50 or possibly less

Please vote - which granite do you like more with my cabinets?
Q
Comments (54)
This is sort of like asking what everyone's favorite ice cream is...but I really like the first one best. I think it has a quiet elegance about it with your cabinets and you could have more fun with the backsplash and accessories. To my eye, the second one is too mustardy, but then I did everything I could to keep from getting a lot of yellow in my granite, while I am sure there are others here who strove for that as a goal. So I guess I'm not much help... P.S. I laughed when I read your comment about your husband getting tired of all the indecisiveness and losing the will to live. My husband and I were in Lowes and I was stressing over picking out door hardware...Paul kept telling me to "hurry up and pick something out and let's go!" Finally I snapped back at him and said something like "Just because YOU don't care if the kitchen looks like it was thrown together without any thought... well I do!" Then he said "It only took me fifteen seconds to pick out the garbage disposal!" At which point, I almost pushed him down in the hardware aisle and I spat "Dear God, no one SEES the #@*# garbage disposal!" That was the closest we have come to actual remodeling violence, but I just had to share... Good luck on the counters and have fun! :) Cathy

You sure have a beautiful home. Your decor is great. Love your dining room chairs---may I ask where you found them? Returning to vote.

Thanks guys and gals. The chairs are from Overstock. When I was designing the space I had a "loungey" vibe going for the eating area. I wanted it to be a place that you could eat a meal at but also hang at the table and have coffee, work on the computer, feel like you were in the family room area. They chairs really accomplish that. We love sitting in them, especially when I think back to the old oak antique chairs that were my kitchen chairs before--couldn't wait to get out of them.

Wasn't sure until this am if this post worked, I had so much trouble logging on to GW last night, and just as I hit Submit, the site must have crashed because I got a message that said it was temporarily unavailable due to maintenance.

Thanks again!

I voted for your beautiful kitchen. Do you have any way of knowing how many votes you've received and where you are in the standings? Good luck!

carolfm, well, I currently have 29 votes, which is about 34th place. The top 50 vote getters move on to the judging. So that is the goal!

If you click on that link I posted, you will see "entries" as a tab, if you click on that you can order the entries in a bunch of different ways, one being "most votes".

thanks for the votes!

Getting ready to head to my MIL's memorial/family reunion for a few days, so I thought I'd bump this up one more time since I'll be away from GW for too many days.

I appreciate all the votes, really. I am sinking fast though, so all votes do count. And you don't have to be a facebook member to vote. Just click on the vote for this space box, it will prompt you for a name (real or otherwise) and a valid email, then you just verify your email in your email account by clicking on the link they send you.

thanks again,
Bee
