What size pot should I use to start my tubers?
Comments (4)Hi, I would cram them in the smallest, shallow pots (plastic is fine) you can fit them in. Make sure t hey have lots of drain holes and BARELY dampen the mix until you see good root growth.That way, the roots will fill the container rapidly, less chance of rot inside, and take up less space. They really need heat and light/sun to get a good start. I have done this for years and had very good luck! Boca Joe...See MoreWhat color paint should I use in my kitchen?
Comments (5)Thanks all for the suggestions! Didn't think of the home decorating forum, have reposted there. artsyphartsy_home_maker - you know your dogs!! She is actually a maltipoo (I think her nose is a little longer like a poodle) - but you only got the back side there as she strolled through my picture!...See MoreWhat size shiplap should I use? Can you mix sizes in a house?
Comments (53)I have 22 foot ceilings in my great room, and used 8 inch shiplap. I will NEVER use someone like Mark Bischak as my architect -- I don't pay for arrogant condescension. My father, who is 93, was raised in a house with shiplap walls -- his father covered them over with the latest new thing (plaster) in the 1920's, which lasted 20 years. The Old Place, as the house was called even then, was built by my father's grandparents, who were adults when the Civil War started. Shiplap is not new -- it keeps being uncovered in old houses everywhere -- and obviously as styles change it can be covered and uncovered to suit, as it is a structural part of the house! It isn't like those lovely fieldstone colonial homes in New Jersey which were covered in stucco in the 1850's and now have to be painstakingly chipped away at, one inch at a time. Here in the south, high ceilings helps the heat rise, and shiplap swells and contracts (breaths) with the humidity, making the house very much a living thing. Go for it, Kaye! But keep it all one size.....See MoreWhat flooring should I use for my kitchen next to honey oak hardwood?
Comments (9)Do choose your overall look for the kitchen, thinking about what component will be hardest/most expensive to change if you start to dislike it. I wouldn't put wood look vinyl or tile next to natural hardwood - I just don't like the way they look next to each other - although overall, I think wood look tile is a great look. So, I would be looking for a natural stone look tile or vinyl - stay far away from tile with a pinkish undertone, and choose one that matches the overall warmth (ie cool colors vs warm colors) of the rest of the adjacent spaces. That will be about as "timeless" as you can get. Sometimes the classic black & white square look doesn't fit the character of the rest of the house, sometimes it is perfect - so keep that in mind, too....See MoreSaltLife631
