Should we try a Wednesday tea this week?
Comments (29)I'm sure not ready for 13 degree weather - snow, yes, frigid temps,no. The bird on the little teapot is a peacock I think. Found the pot in an antique shop for $5, it isn't old because I saw one like it in a gift shop for $26. Gardenweed, were you able to watch the ShowTime series "The Tudors" that ended last year? The years that it was on, a forum began around it; and I joined. I learned so much about the Tudors and life in their times on that board, even tho alot of the discussion revolved around Jonathan Rhys Meyers. ha. How exciting for you to sit in Rycote Chapel! I say we should all make sure to take tea together on April 29th as we watch Prince William and his Kate wed....See MoreOT- should we try a Tuesday Tea?
Comments (7)Lav, I suppose I've been MIA since before last Tuesday Aug 16? I did not realize that I'd missed that much. I've been on the hot tea bandwagon since you and my new Teahouse combined to lure me that direction. And you remember that little book about Tea by Mary Jo Koch? Well, it gives me mental images of sweet little tea pots and brief facts about tea, which are also inspirational. Now that I am up nawth for a couple of months, I have access to some old English style teapots too. Plus, up here, my younger granddaughters love to come over and we have a tea party. They love hot tea. I suppose it is part of their Irish heritage. So, I have stocked a big supply of various teas, from loose tea to bags to sachets, and we explore the world of tea. I look forward to joining the fun. IF I can keep focused on what day it is..............See MoreShould We reuse old Pantry in new Pantry?
Comments (7)Rhome, I don't think I've given it as much thought as needed. But, I've been thinking.... Have a lot of dishes, Christmas, china, my MIL used to have an antique store and she has given us a lot of dishes, flatware, platters, things I've kept boxed up mainly for a lack of storage for them. I have inspiration pictures of pantries that look nice for those type things. I think I've done just what you suggested, thought about THOSE things and neglected the other. Maybe I should do a layout on the planner, take all things into consideration and see what can be accomplished on that route? Bmore, I'm thinking about what your'e talking about. Just want to make sure the space is all utilized without too much aisle width. Dianalo, here is a picture of what my pantry looks like. It's not the actual pantry, but it is exactly like mine. I haven't measured the space, but could/should I think about putting it in the corridor where the oven is located? It measures 42x26 which would be built in next to counter depth cabinets....See Moreshould we ditch our 20 year old tile?
Comments (7)I would either get a pencil trim to match the marble-like tile or the glass. I think the Schluter trim would look too modern. The problem with this solution is the cost. That trim, needing a line before and after the mosaic tile, could cost more than the mosaic tile and porcelain tile combined. How does the cost of Schluter edge compare? I wonder what ideas Joseph Corlett, LLC had, he forgot to come back and tell you. In my kitchen remodel in 2003, my contractor used a 1/4" trim piece stained to match my cupboards to top my backsplash, and that looked great because we had both base and upper cabinets. Here, you don't have that to tie into the design, so I am not sure it would work. Along those lines, though, you could paint the window trim to match the bath cab and use a small 1/4" trim piece painted to match to finish off the top edge. The color goes very well with the mosaic tile. Painting the window trim also makes adding that small piece of wood trim under the window easy....See Moremillworkman
