Would you put a column here? Week 1 in the books....
Comments (7)I agree with adding the column. What is the overall style of your home? In our neighborhood, there are many "vintage open floor plans," circa 1900-1930, and all have columns between the living and dining rooms. I love the combination of connectedness and distinction between the spaces. The square column pictured is in the style of our area homes. But if you have a more modern aesthetic or neighborhood, perhaps do a search on Houzz to see examples of simple and more creative columns. Personally, I really dislike pony walls. They're elbow-catchers, clutter-catchers, etc. I agree they look unfinished, and they are structurally suspect. We have one in my organization's recently-renovated open workspace, and people are forever running into it. The contractor tried to talk our management out of it -- said that it always leads to dissatisfaction because they inevitably get knocked loose (this one's stand-alone, not anchored to a wall). It's not wobbly per se, but it does not inspire architectural confidence. Plus, all us office drones end up leaving piles of files and coffee mugs on it (it's a little higher than bar height, perfect for leaning and chatting and leaving things behind). Good luck and have fun!...See MoreWould you put a fan here? Will it make a difference?
Comments (12)With our limited openings realizing fresh air flow are separate for us - fresh air and air flow AIR FLOW I'ld normally expect only within room of fan, even a strong fan. It was our layout - one corner 3 wall openings, close together and diagonally opposite corner the only other 4th opening making me think powerful 8000+ cfm fan could direct air flow across rooms between corners. Might, might not. Going to see how soon they can get LR fan up to find out. Oly & lazy, much thank on fresh air, appreciate the fantech and whole fan ideas to look into. sasafras, thankfully reversible fan but windows not returnable and already paid much to front glass door location. phone & happy, even if no air flow issue, may likely NEED a DR fan. Front has a covered porch, back has no such cover and DR fan may be needed depending how warm area gets from sun....See MoreHow many knockout roses would you put here?
Comments (17)Any rose can carry the mites that cause RRD, but Knockouts are planted so widely in commercial spaces and tended so poorly that RRD can break out in them and spread before anyone bothers to notice. It's not that Knockouts are so very prone to RRD as that people think they're "no care" roses. More common in spreading RRD is the wild multiflora that grows on roadsides and things, and again as I understand it the problem is the lack of maintenance more than the particular weakness of that rose. The only rose that has some preliminary science to suggest it might be resistant to RRD is Top Gun. Apparently some scientists in a test garden and tried to infect it with RRD several times and they couldn't, but I don't think that has been written up as research yet. It's also a red rose but a little more single than most Knockouts. I agree with Carol - plant what you like but keep an eye on things as we all do in our rose plantings. Avoiding the risk of RRD basically means never planting any roses, and I'm not ready to do that. Cynthia...See MoreWould you put windows here?
Comments (50)Jodie White Designs - I often keep choosing the same decor and colors so thank you for suggesting something outside of my zone! Going shopping on Sunday and will let you know what I find! JAN MOYER - Lamps ordered! I thought the ones you posted were smaller than what I have but they aren't - hopefully they aren't too large. Do you think I need 3 curtain panels on each side of the large slider? Or would two be enough? And just one panel on each side of smaller slider? Or? jslazart - Thank you!...See MoreVirginia Mary
