Comments (150)dannab1 I have oodles of MG's in fact I have 16 or more little cups of them & more in the garden LOL (Donna wanted to make sure I had lots growing for her to see out her kitchen window so when we were yanking the old vines down she shook the vines to drop more seeds), and of course she thinks it's hilarious as to how over run my garden is. Ya know I just can't throw them in the trash so will be sending a bunch to school with the grands to share with their friends too. LOL I have a rooted piece of Hoya I can bring to you if you want it. Also spider plant, 2 varieties of mother of thousands & some babies from my burrows tail. Let me know OK. I would Love some of your Catmint. Also some of the Bee Balm (what color & heigth?) Sylvia, How many vines do you want??? A dozen or more ..... haha ... seriously. Donna & I will be bringing (some are just sprouted) 16 Morning Glories (mixed Lavendar & Grandpa Ott) 3 in a cup 16 starts of Easter Egg plant - 3 in a cup 5 Black Hollyhocks - 2 in a cup 2 Black Currant Datura - 1 in a cup 2 Yellow Datura - 1 in a cup 3 Ranunculus - 1 in a cup 7 Lambs Ear - 3 in a cup 3 Pink Dianthus - 3 in a cup several "lillies" (I thought they were Canna's LOL) If anyone wants I can also bring a clipping from my Lavender Lady Passion flower or an unknown variety of passie, or a clipping from my shell vine (let me know or my shears won't touch em) If anyone has moon flowers that aren't white I'd be interested in getting one. Sorry I'm so long winded tonight, Debbie...See More2LittleFishies Yellow Kitchen Reveal- Part DEUX!!!
Comments (163)I love this kitchen!! I love the character and the timelessness with so many of today's great features that we all want. I have been planning a kitchen remodel for what feels like 2 years now and my layout is very similar with the exception to the amount of space you have to the left of your double wall ovens. Thank you for all the detailed pictures as this validates a lot of my current layout choices, especially the corner of your sink wall / cooking wall where I've been back and forth 100 times and where your double ovens are located!!...See MoreA Collected & Layered Apt Part Deux
Comments (81)"Pal, I'm very intrigued by this and by an earlier comment you made distinguishing between 'tacky' and 'intentionally vulgar'. As a Germanic type, I'm fairly clear on what Kitsch is (!), but vulgar/tacky is a finer and more difficult one for me to parse. Where would one start in making that conceptual differentiation, in your view?" I think 'tacky' is UNintentional, as in trying to decorate a room that looks really "classy" but fails. I also know someone who has a very rigid palette and "theme" for each room and while they really aren't quite tacky, they aren't particularly elegant either. There is obsessive attention to perfect matching of colors, and, for example, if the starting point is a rug, Only a color that is in the rug can appear in the room, and if there is only a Little bit of a color in the rug only a Little of that color can reappear. Pillows and pictures and accessories and knickknacks get auditioned and if they don't match something exactly they get returned. If the theme in the dining room is "Wine" even the pictures on the walls have to have something to do with wine or grapes or vineyards. It's all very stiff and "formal" even though she would say her style is casual. There is nothing really wrong or bad about the way the rooms look, but the effect is a little dead rather than comfortable. In contrast the intentionally over the top aspects of this apartment are the ones that Reject the initial formality that is the foundation of each room: "Like Blue Willow china? Let's see if we can cram 18 plates onto the backsplash" "Bird cage dangling down apropos of nothing else in the kitchen? Sure, why not?" "Pale blue and pink bedroom grounded in black? Lets put a brown-black, gold and avocado pillow on a prominent chair. It clashes with everything. That'll show em we're casual." "TV? Let's go to extremes to hide it and then tell everyone where it is." They didn't stop when they knew it was enough. They did things like set up a rigid formality with the Japanese screen on the end wall and then put a lopsided furniture arrangement with the sofa to one side underneath. They intentionally used colors that didn't quite match, and intentionally threw in some things that clashed. Tacky would never do this, tacky would have to make sure it all matched, all followed the rules, and it all wasn't too much....See Morefireplace kitchen plan -- Part 3
Comments (11)numbersjunkie, the sink edge would be about 26" away from the appliance garage. so probably the risk of water damage wouldn't be too bad, so it is more of how much counterspace I need next to the sink. if i do the garage, i would get about 26" on either side of the sink. if i don;t do the garage, i get 60" of counterspace there, though the corner is hard to access anyway. lavender, thanks for the vote of confidence in the plan. I guess I am at that second-guessing stage, lol. I agree, without the garage, it will look less balanced. and yeah, the appliances do take up counterspace anyway. lharpie, i agree the toaster/micro on the counter is not a good look! DH said he doesn't want to have to open a door every time to use it though, so I have to find a convenient way to access it behind the doors. maybe i can do a pocket door that stays open until guests come over. mamagoose, i didn't think about rollouts under each appliance. that would be very useful....See Morerebunky
