Thanks for the extra pictures! I don't remember seeing the name of NVG in our looking through the granite the other day--we were overwhelmed, I guess. I do seem to recall something similar. Later, at the kitchen place, we saw Santa Cecilia and liked that it seemed to have more veining than what I thought I'd liked at the granite place--Giallo Ornamental (if I'm thinking of the right piece), but I don't recall Santa Cecilia at the granite place either. Maybe it was in the more expensive aisle, of which we tried to steer clear. I appreciate the flooring info too, as I'm sure that's our next decision--or will it be the exterior? Thanks.

Parma is right. If you can click on someone's name and there is a link that says "Send me an email" that means that you can email that party through Garden Web. When you start typing your email into the box provided, the box will say "From blah-blah's email address". That means, that the party you email will now have YOUR email address and can choose to reply to you personally, rather than through the GW site. And....if the party does choose to reply to your email addy, THEN, their email address will display to you. For example, my own email address does NOT show when you go to "redbazel's member page". That's because I clicked show to "none" when I set my preferences. I think if you had clicked show to "member" when you first set your preferences, (which you may have done since the wording is very unclear) then, if another GW member had clicked on your name, your email addy would have shown. I guess that there could be on this very lovely site, some Crazy Spamming Fool that sits on GW all day to send the members various pieces of spam garbage but for the most part, I don't think it's a huge big deal. And when a GW member sends me an email, (I've had emails this past month from 3 different people on all kinds of subjects) I have almost always answered if they put "GW" or "about your dumb question on Decorating" or something like that in the subject line of the email. That at least lets me know that it's a GW member. I don't freak out that I got an email. I'm registered on Ebay and Craigslist too, and neither spot can give out my email addy, but I still receive messages from those boards and their members. Once I 'choose' to reply, then, of course, they have my email address. Poor NHB..........she thought she was starting a thread where we could all finally have her paint colors, but all of us got distracted. Red

Kelly - I am just now seeing this. Have not been on the GW board in over a month because I was busy with a wedding for my daughter (September 26th) and then DH and I went on a 30th anniversary cruise. I came to check out the board and did a search for my name (in case I had missed out on anything I had participated in before. lol) and found your post. Hope it's not too late. I will email you tomorrow when I have more time. We may just sell the house!

2kids5dogs....did you have any luck finding NHB chandelier? I asked her the same question today....I never saw this post, must have missed it:( I tried searching with no luck. I couldnt find the villa collection. I did see some pretty Capital lighting chandeliers on lighting websites.
