Looking out of 'My Room' and bedroom windows

18 years ago

This is what I see when I look out from "My Room", window.The sweet peas on the bottom left smell heavenly. Brass Band, the bouganvillia and Clair Matin will soon be in full flower

This is from the spare bedroom window. New house being built will block the view we had of the bay.The climbing gold bunny had a lot of blooms picked this morning for friends and family (and me) The red on the bottom fence is Altissimo and the 'everflowering' fuschia.

Looking through the spa from the same window where the Fireworks and Duchess of Edinburgh clematis grow. The arch will be draped with Pierre de Ronsard and Jenne Le Joie shortly.

Finally, a few of the Gold Bunny I had left over.

I would remove carpet now and put down an area rug until you can afford to install new flooring. (Old carpet kinda makes my skin crawl.) If it were me, I’d probably paint the floor after removing the rug. Paint it a color that blends with the area rug to make it less obvious where it sticks out from under the rug. I don't know a lot about drapes, so don’t really have a preference for rings or no rings. You won’t be opening and closing the drapes much, but if you do go without rings, make sure the rod pocket isn't so tight that you can’t move the drape if you want to. I know drapes are hung high these days, but I’ve never cared for the look of a cellular shade mounted above the window trim. I prefer inside mount, even if the trim is nothing to write home about. I love the color Tradewind and look forward to seeing your finished room!

close the trundle bed as soon as you get up? I mean, it's not necessary normally to have the bed ready for sleeping when you are getting dressed, is it? I would probably also get rid of the cushion bench--how much does it store, and can that stuff go somewhere other than the bedroom? Also, look at what's stored in all those things, and see if any of it can be stored outside. Like, if you have shoes in the bedroom, maybe they can go elsewhere? Ditto outerwear (coats, jackets).

The last photo you sent me is beautiful, Maureen. I love the idea of sanding and re-staining all the wood on that wall but unfortunately the contractors we've spoken to have said it would be really expensive to do because of how thick the paint seems to be. I'm leaning towards keeping it white and just painting the inside trim of the windows black to add some contrast. I may go lighter with the ceiling beams like in your photo, though.

Looking for paint color for re-do of bedroom to bedroom/workout room

Hi, Looking for help identifying a paint color for my daughter's old bedroom as we transition it to a guest bedroom/workout room. The attached photos show what color the walls are today, which are pretty similar to the rest of the house. Sort of a light beige. I was hoping to try something different - but not so different that the room looks like it's from a different house :-) The bed and the lamp is the only furniture that has to stay, the rest is on it's way out. Planning to get an exercise bike, tv and have yoga mat (in photo). Also want to replace the window coverings and hope to find someone that can refinish the hardwood floors underneath the carpet. Also, are feature walls still a thing? Thanks for any ideas!

Jan, My God, doesn't time fly. We think of you every time we walk out into the garden. It is not morbid, it is quite natural when you have been married for so long - we had our 55th anniversary this year and cannot even bear to think what would happen if one of us weren't here. You have coped wonderfully well and Dorothy hasn't left you, she is still telling you what to do and speaks in more ways than being there. Chin up.

Tricia, your garden is lovely - a beautiful mixture of formality and profusion - in a couple of weeks it will be "WOW" !!! Thank you for showing us :)

You are a truly lovely lady in your response to Jan.

Jan, I think of you often, I am truly blessed with a very close, loving family and to loose a loved one would be a terrible blow. It is wonderful that you continue in your lovely garden. I bet you think of Dorothy with every plant and job you do. She is with you - particularly when you care for your lovely roses :)I know how she loved them.

Jan, we lost a Son and I know he is here in spirit and our thoughts each day, I often even find myself having a bit of a conersation with hime when I walk past something he liked.
I am sure your lovely Dorothy is still enjoying you garden with you every day.

Tricia - your garden is an inspiration ... I love how the roses all blend in with a whole variety of plants.

Jan - my beloved aunt introduced me to gardening and especially to roses over 20 years ago. She died when I was 19yrs but everytime I go out to look at my roses - I can still hear her loving instructions and comments to me ... she stays with me though the gardening. Be blessed by yours.

Tricia, your garden is a great credit to you both, it is truly a little paradise out there!

Sorry to hear of your loss Jan. Life is far too short - the older we get the faster time seems to go. I'm sure your wife is still with you in spirit - I can only guess how it must be and dread the thought that one day it will happen to Dick and I too.

Clematis winding up the posts look terrific.
So many beautiful plants everything very neat and tidy. Great Pics Tricia.
A garden to be proud of well done to you both...Cheers..MM.

Dear Jan, I often wonder and think of how you are going after your sad loss also.
And I am sure Dorothy is still there in your garden looking down and thinking what a wonderful
job you are still doing, so keep posting your pics, we all look forward to them..Cheers..MM.

Tricia your garden is beautiful, it must be lovely to look out from the windows to admire & plan, your path in the first pic. reminds me of mine you can get quite wet from them in rainy weather as the plants droop with moisture beautiful.
Jan my heart goes out to you but I agree with everyone, I;m sure Dorethy is with you in spirit as you walk around your lovely garden
