12 years agoWell color me unfashionable! :) Here's ours, I honestly don't know if it's 4 or 6 inches (I really think 4?) We did it to protect the wood, but it hadn't occurred to me whether or not it had been done recently.

Bucket Farm 2009 Update 6/15 (Pix heavy)
Comments (27)The ground cherries started out so small its hard to believe they've grown so big. The plants are nice and stocky and so far I've had one branch on one plant fall over and most of my plants aren't staked at all. The tomatillos I have are very spindly looking and I've already had to stake up the 4 I have in the ground. I've seen pictures on this forum of other peoples tomatillos and they looked much more robust than the variety I'm growing. I'll probably try a different variety next year. I got to taste my first ground cherry today. I noticed one of the pods had fallen off and decided to sample it. They're really, really tasty. I was tempted to grab a few more but I've read that you should wait until they drop to eat them. I have a feeling my family will be snatching them out of the air as they fall once they try them. :)...See MoreAnyone have a TINY (like 3'x6') powder room??
Comments (16)Such a timely post. My powder room is 3 by 7. The door is in the middle , to the right is the pedestal sink (18 inches deep by 22 inches wide) and across from it is the toilet. I am thinking about updating it (it's 20 plus years old, and a pinkish beige). I have toyed with getting a small vanity because truthfully while I like the look and space of th epedestal sink, it would be nice to have a wee bit of storage. I went to Lowe's yesterday and they had some very very nice small vanities (31 inches wide and under-). I am trying to decide if they could work in my space or if I just need to stick with a pedestal sink.In any case, it is a small room but it's not too small:)...See MoreAnyone Prefer Granite Backsplash, 4'-5'
Comments (12)One thing that we took into consideration when we designed the kitchen, was to minimize the cutouts in the granite. So the dimmers for the undercounter lights, as well as the dimmers for the overhead lights were all designed to be out of the granite surface. I even thought about putting the power outlets up under the cabinets but decided at our ages (Mid 60's) we didnt want to get into funny positions trying to plug things in ---Ya know what I mean?--so we just used dark brown receptacles with burn copper plates to complement the grantite. We had to redo the granite around the cooktop here, cause "Genius" (Me), got a lil too creative with the cooktop---bought one that was a 36 inch semi circle and it turned out to be junque---even so, I was able to find a half sheet of the Arandis Gold Granite for $250 and it cost me about a grand to have it "Fabbed" and the new cooktop installed---so you might get lucky and find a half sheet. Sure is a breeze to clean. I love that bathroom backsplash. I am gonna do the same thing, maybe even higher and gonna use Onyx. Good luck with your project.

Comments (18)Can you hear the gasps from here? Your kitchen is WOW! You have done a stellar job and clearly you don't need our help -- your taste is amazing. Amazing. I keep scrolling back up to look at your photos. Even though I just wrote you don't need our help I'll still say: -Yes, I absolutely agree with you about the 6" pulls. They look beautiful with your cabinetry (they make perfect sense, like peanut butter and jelly!) -- they're elegant and "fit" the frame of your drawer, both in terms of aesthetics and function. I think you'll really appreciate having the pulls for your drawers centered; that's a comfort thing. But in terms of how it looks, I wrote it before and I'll write it again: WOW! -The glass knobs looks perfect, and I'm so excited you found the other source for the 1.25" knob! -Your countertop and backsplash materials are fabulous. Thank you so much for including a photo of them so we can all see your vision. You are doing great! -About the cup pulls: I think once everything is in place (and by this I mean the cabinets / appliances in) your gifted eye will tell you if, given the layout of your room, the cup pulls will make sense. I happen to love the idea to, as you wrote, change it up a bit. That cabinetry serves a different function and will have different things on it (meaning: not food prep), so I think to the eye having different pulls will make sense. Would you do them in the polished nickel as well? Speaking of polished nickel, I want to tell you how easy it is to keep clean. I know there have been other posts talking about it's better to get brushed nickel because it won't show the fingerprints, etc. Well, I have two toddlers under age four, plus my husband and I are a bit messy as well (ahem), and you have to really, really look for the smudges / fingerprints. Honestly, the polished nickel does NOT show everything -- actually, hardly anything! The only times I've actually wiped them down is when I've taken photos of something in the kitchen for here on GW, and that's always been a preventive, just in case the peanut butter hands show up in the photos .... I am so relieved I went with the polished nickel because I think it makes the room sing. Your kitchen is beautiful! Thank you so much, jen, for the pictures. Loved seeing them. Loved them!...See Morekawh707
