Demifloyd- Do you still have a room painted Terracotta Sand?
Comments (17)Sis2two--my apologies, I've been out of town and my busiest time of year I'm just now getting back to this thread. This weekend I took some updated photos--most of these were taken over five years ago and of course there have been changes, I STILL haven't finished "decorating" everything and still hanging and changing art, bedding, furniture, window coverings and accessories! Unfortunately, I had just updated my Mac to Maverick, and now it won't recognize Iphoto and says it needs to be updated. I'm going to have to have someone help me do that so I can get my pictures from my camera on IPhoto. Anyway, so many members were fun and helpful when I was first building and decorating and it was encouraging at the time I was first on this forum to see where others had made progress on their homes, so I will indeed update the album and share as soon as I get that straightened out and a few projects finished, hopefully in a month or two. In the meantime, I pulled several photos of the Terracotta Sand in the dressing room--as you know EK colors "change" because of the pigments, so I tried to find representations of different light. I've also included a few other photos of the house. The color in the bedroom just outside the dressing room is EK Adobe and they are very similar, I think it's my favorite color it turns to a rose gold with the afternoon sunset. I couldn't find the bathroom in the google album that mixed my photos with others, so I will post a photo of the black and white Thibault (if memory serves me correct) wallpaper in my guest bath. Thanks everyone, happy decorating! Ellen Kennon Terracotta Sand walls, Gustavian Gray ceiling >...See MoreIf you have pebble do you still tile steps?
Comments (1)Tile doesn't present itself as effectively against peb tec as it does against white plaster. For that reason, it isn't used on the steps as much. Pick a contrasting color if you do use it....See MoreDo you still have recipe post on here?

Comments (46)Yes! My answer will be long because both are very special in my heart. My parents gave me a Kenmore sewing machine for my college graduation. My mother had taught me to sew so we all well knew the sentimentally behind the gift. It has generated lots of joy through making clothes, craft items, and quilts. In 2019 it began having problems and I purchased a dual purpose machine. But just recently I have decided to have it repaired/tuned because it’s always been a great machine and I can jump on it to do basic sewing and piecing if the newer machine is set up for embroidery. The other gift is this Royal Doulton figurine my sister gave me for my high school graduation. We would go to the mall together and I would stand and just stare at these ladies in the display window. I was absolutely gobsmacked when I opened it. They were expensive! She offered to buy me another - that I could choose myself! - for my college graduation. I never did. Partly because they were even more expensive. But probably mostly because of the enormity of the decision for which one. To this day it is always centered and featured in my hutch. After rereading my words I’ve realized that the greater value of these gifts is the meaning and love they symbolize. My parents were wonderful people and there is no better big sister than mine. Today is my father’s birthday, he passed away two years ago ( my mother five years). My sister is driving 7 hours south to visit. While I’ve been able to go to her state during the pandemic she has not been here since early 2020. So forgive me being sentimental today....See MoreRita / Bring Back Sophie 4 Real
