pictures of my house azaleas
Comments (3)They are beautiful. I just received a florist azalea and have it potted on my front porch. Do you do anything special to keep them in such a good shape? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance....See MoreBefore and after pictures of my old house
Comments (8)I love your bathroom, too. We're in the same boat with a tiny one, 5 1/2 x 6 but our window is in the middle of the wall, above the tub. 2009 is going to be our bathroom remodel year and I've already planted the seed in DH's head about moving the window to the corner of the room so that we can have a stand up shower. Question for you salami - do you have a tub anywhere in your house and did not having a tub/resale enter your thoughts when deciding what to do in your remodel? Your house is great!...See MorePictures of my house
Comments (6)Thanks, everyone! I'm sure you all know how good it feels to have compliments on all the hard work we put into these old houses! Carol - I think Rose's email address is available somewhere; maybe I'll send her a quick note. Hasn't she publiched a book? I'll look around more and see what resources she has to offer. Thanks for reminding me! Corgilvr - aww, shucks, thank you! KGW - Oh my gosh, I have been reading your posts for so long now and you're doing such a wonderful job with your home. I COVET (that is the only appropriate word) your kitchen backsplash; I know you spent a long time designing and installing that and I don't have any details in my home as striking and lovely as your backsplash! We happened to have the cash and time to get this kitchen done in a hurry; we were very lucky and determined to be able to pull it off! Also, I make quick decisions and (almost) never look back. Most of our friends thought we were completely nuts because we took about six weeks from kitchen design decisions to completion. If I had taken more time, there are a few things I would be more comfortable with (for example, using knobs instead of pulls on the upper cabinets). I can't even tell you how many people said, "You're doing WHAT? Why don't you wait until you've been there a year...yadda yadda yadda..." But I don't listen well. My point is, you're not slow; we're just crazy. Also, we cut corners for the sake of time and money savings - like painting the backsplash. Spewey - Thank you for the information - the Marion/Lakeview is OH SO CLOSE, isn't it? I think I might have to invest in some books to find out the truth about my home. I don't even know why I care so much - really, what differnece does it make if it's a kit home? But, for whatever reason, I want to know. My aunt's old neighborhood is about 20 miles from here but it's not hard to believe that builders shared plans or that the same builder could hav built them. Scullybean - Some time ago (7-8 years ago maybe?), when I was in college in Boston, I visited my best friend at her mom's home on Manhattan. I brought my laundry with me ('cause I could do it for free, of course!). They had just purchased new W&D. As a clueless and unconcerned college student, I just dumped my clothes into the odd new washing machine and then into the dryer. I noticed IMMEDIATELY how clean and wonderful my clothes were, then noticed that their machines were Maytag Neptunes. You have to understand that before this, washing machines did not even register on my brain as something to give a second thought to. You washed your clothes, dried them, and moved on. Until the Neptune...I vowed to invest in similarly wonderful machines at the earliest opportunity. It took some time, but now I have them. And they are worth the wait. I HIGHLY recommend them! Thanks everyone, for your nice remarks and your help and for sharing so much knowledge on this forum that I've been able to be confident about my choices for my old house....See MoreCurly Willow pictures from my house
Comments (10)Thanks everyone! The new camera and photoshop do help...I wish everything looked as vibrant in real life. Newhome, it's a samsung pl 200. I have a niece who works in cameras at Best Buy and she said this was hands down far better than anything else they had and was a Great camera for the money. As I needed a new camera but hadn't bought one because....which one to get? How to know...all those questions that freeze people up when decorating seem to apply to electronics for me. So having someone tell me what to get made it easy. It is sooo much better than my old one!...See Moremarilyn_c
