Comments (45)Hi Karin & Linda, This looks like a great convention. Karin, because you like photography, you will probably really enjoy this. Doris Browlie is the wife of a hybridizer and Winston Goretsky is the main photographer for the African Violet Magazine Ruth Coulson is an Autrailian author of a book on African Violets that I used to own and give as a gift. I liked her book. Here are a couple of brief write ups -- there is an interview with Winston G. on one of the Annie podcasts. âÂÂPeople love African violets because they are easy to grow and despite the weather outside, we can have flowers all through the year,â says Doris Brownlie of the Toronto African Violet Society. Doris and her husband John run a hobby business, AcaâÂÂs Violet Tree. In fact, John Brownlie, a hybridizer, recently had one of his hybrids, âÂÂAcaâÂÂs Red EmberâÂÂ, make the top 100 list of favourite African violet varieties of the African Violet Society of America. - See more at: http://torontobotanicalgarden.ca/get-gardening/houseplants/all-about-african-violets/#sthash.C1wkMJaP.dpuf Welcome to Episode 22 of All About African Violets! In this episode there is a discussion of pH, and of consistency of care. In addition, there is an interview with Winston Goretsky, Second Vice President of the AVSA and the photographer responsible for so many of the amazing photos you see in every edition ofAfrican Violet Magazine.

Comments (5)Hi! I'm not sure if this is the look you're going for but I had the same dilemma with Kohler Biscuit! I wanted a light bathroom but it couldn't be white, so I went with a tile that has white and then cream veins in it for my accent tile because I also had Biscuit Kohler sinks and a tub. Then I saved $ by going with a Daltile CrossCut Porcelain tile that mimics a marble (the polished version really looks amazing! I think it's called San Michele and the color was "crema") and the same product in bigger 12" x 24" pieces for our shower. I was nervous that those big tiles would look to modern but they are laid in a 70/30 pattern and the marble/veining looks really pretty while also giving it a slightly updated look. Basically I covered the most square footage with the less expensive tile (I think it worked out to right around $6-8 sq/ft) and then use the accent tile (Cloud 9/Del Greco, it was called) more sparingly b/c it was more expensive. Our marble countertops and the tub surround are then Breccia Oniciata marble. It's a creamy, dreamy marble that - importantly to me! - ISN"T white or light based so that over time, it will age well. Here's a few pics - you can see the porcelain on floor, the accent around tub and sink backsplash and then the marble. and then a link to the Cross Cut tile b/c it was the biggest savings. Can provide more info if you're interested. Let me know if you'd like me to get more specific information or the names of any of the particular tiles! Good luck! I lived in analysis paralysis for months and months. Once I pulled the trigger, I just moved to the "love" stage! Here is a link that might be useful: Crema tile (look for that color on this sheet)...See MoreDining room is blah, needs something
Comments (28)Thanks Squirrel, wow those photoshop pics made me gasp with joy! Again the large window with moulding added looks great, I can't believe how good. And I had thought about crown moulding before, it looks so good that I know I want to use it. The large window is 60 in high and 78 in wide, the house has ceilings that are 7.5 ft high. The small side window is 30 in high by 43 in wide, and yes the window behind the couch is same dimensions. You guys are very sharp! In the dining room I am thinking a small table or even a wall hung shelf under the smaller window with some nice decor items. Also thought about hanging a tie back drape on one side only with straight edge towards living room wall. The china cabinet does light and it is back with a mirror, I will get some pics later in another post. Living room also looks lovely with your ideas. I have to say I want to get rid of that ugly floor lamp behind couch. Thinking of getting a nicer matched pair for either side. I thought with the two book cases that wall "balanced" the large window at front of house. And i want to get a nice lamp for black octagonal table with phone on it. Well, thank you again for your compliments, never did I think people would be saying my furniture is beautiful. You are making me blush....See MoreAre you quilting this weekend? Aug. 8-10
Comments (14)So jealous that you get to spend time with Kristene!!! Was hoping she could make it here to Orlando, then to Retreat. I've had a traumatic weekend! Desktop computer gave signs this week that it was on it's last electron so had to get a new one. Choosing was very stressful (too many choices); paying for it was a little stressful (a little less expensive than I feared). Then went through the trauma of transferring files from old one to new one. Discovered we can't find most discs to install programs. Or if we have the discs we don't have the set up key. Or it's so old we don't even remember where or when we got it. But as of this evening, I have a clean desk (because everything I moved off of it to set up the new computer is still on the dining room table!), a working computer and access to the internet. One of the best features of the new unit is 8 USB ports! Eight!!! I can plug in everything! Life is good....See Morelily316
