I think the easiest path to loading pictures on this forum is thru Photobucket.com. After you get your picture uploaded to your Album in Photobucket, which is easy because it shows you step by step what to do, you simply place you cursor on the picture and a little menu pops up. Click on "HTML Code" and immediately a yellow box pops up that says "copied". What you have done is parked your picture on Photobucket and copied the address where it *lives*. You can then open a "Message" window here on this forum and PASTE in the HTML Code which is the address where your picture now *lives*. Becareful not to delete any brackets or details from the HTML Code. Leave a couple returns (lnes or spaces) above and below the HTML Code. You can type your "Message" above or below the code. Or you can email me and I will post your pic here. It's not like who I am or my email is a big secret so here it is. :) lori@colorstrategies.net

Thank you, we're really happy with the way everything came together. The backsplash looks much better in person, of course, and I just love it! we chose the color rainstorm in a crackle finish. Heres the link https://sonomatilemakers.com/product/stellar-marea/

I would paint the courtyard wall the same as the body of the house. No stone. Cacti or other drought tolerant plants in front of the wall would look great.

Add Design Dilemma to your categories for posting and you should get some comments. Beautiful house!
