Landscape Design Forum FAQ - Improved
Comments (7)While I think that the "FAQ" as outlined by swanoir was presented tongue in cheek ('the humus'), many of the subsequent comments and/or links to threads that could/should be included in a FAQ were presented in a more serious tone. And maybe they do make sense as a foundation to a real LD forum FAQ. But I've also sensed something else in these comments that may contribute to the apparent lack of communication between new posters seeking advice and those that regularly frequent this forum and offer it. And that is that the long checklist provided by Miss R must be (or should be) answered in detail before posting. Well, of course not! But it is definitely something worth reviewing and giving some thought to. This checklist, or something very similar, is what most designers utilize when first meeting with a prospective client. It gives them a feeling for what the client wants to do with the property, how they intend to use it, what they hope to get out of it and how much effort (time/$$) are they are intending to put into it. Hopefully, reviewing an outline or checklist such as this could help to refine and focus some of those blank slate questions and even educate those new posters totally unfamiliar with the process the degree of complexity, the number of variables and exactly what is involved in the formulation of a landscape design. Even DIY landscape texts intended for the homeowner with no previous design or landscaping experience offer similar checklists to get one started thinking about the process. Obviously, this is overkill for those questions that are more issue-specific, but I think very appropriate for those that are much broader and far less focused....See MoreRead Me If You're New To GW Kitchens!

Comments (49)A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO GAVE ME SUGGESTIONS AND ENCOURAGEMENT!!! The party was GREAT!! I hope everyone had has much fun as DH, and if they didn't, well .... it was for him. I did a toned down Caribbean theme with candles, hurricanes, and votives I already had, a $10 bouquet of fresh flowers from the grocery store, a few silk flowers from Michaels, and plates and napkins from Party City. I had to use the FR, kitchen, and DR for dinner seating: DH (far left) and friends did a mini concert in our unfinished basement. Everyone was impressed with DH's brazen self confidence and my (blush) DIY talents. http://i613.photobucket.com/download-albums/tt216/artlover13060/GreenbackDollar.mp4 Metal tubs repurposed from the laundry room to hold beer and wine: A coffee mug has a new life as a holder for plastic ware: Floating candles, fresh flowers, seashells make an inexpensive center piece on the card tables. Silk flowers and ribbon tie up the silverware. (I hate eating meat with plastic ware so I used the real deal for the meal.)

Comments (101)Hi jaluca, welcome! The floors are just a shade over 5" wide, they are all one width. DH and I had decided on random widths and when I went into the reclaimed flooring place I changed my mind at the last moment and went with all 5". I think both would have looked great, but I'm very pleased with the 5". We have a water-based finish on the floor. We opted not to go with a more typical oil-based finished in part for environmental reasons (and to reduce odour) but also because oil finished tend to yellow the hardwood and I loved the blonde/light brown colours in the birch. Hope this helps, let me know if you need any other info....See MoreSuzi AKA DesertDance So CA Zone 9b
