Hi sherwhy, Sorry it took me some time to come back to the thread. Yes this Antique Ivory is white washed finished with oil. In this collection, there are 2 other floorings with white wash on a dark floor base, called Antique Ebany and Costa. I am sure that is kind you described. Hi Steph2000, We do not recommend any wood flooring installed in any full bath as a business, engineered or solid. But that particular picture is from a DIY Network show "Bath Crashers" which used us as their flooring supplier. In that case, as long as the show designer specs the product, we supply. We have another engineered wood flooring being used in another show called "BATHtastic" Both floors were done in Minneapolis Stpaul area for couple years now. So far so good. In my opinion, kicthen and entry will be perfectly fine to put in wood floorings. Area rugs will help. Good comments from both you. Hope to hear from you again.

I love it! The nicest thing is that all the components look as if they've always been there. As for the organic milk in cute little glass bottles: it reminds me of the discussion, several years ago in the Decorating forum, about staging a kitchen when selling the house. One member who was trying to sell her house had gone to lots of open houses in her area and said that every kitchen seemed to be staged with a KitchenAid mixer on the counter. (The advice was to have only one appliance in view, preferably a fashionable and expensive one.) Fancy brands of olive oil were also being used a lot in kitchen staging, but I don't remember organic milk.

MaddieLee that's a very cool article. Thank you for posting it! The little spot we go to has about 50 colors of dye that looks like watered down paint. You pick your colors and brushes, they pour a little into a plastic cup and you paint. Actually you can see me painting in the top right hand corner of the first picture. I love to paint so I think I'm going to try to get the dyes and scarves to do here at home. Thank you Raven, I like the penguins too! Linelle, I'm beginning to think the scarf painting is a little local thing but canvas painting has been around for a while and if you go to your local Groupon webpage and search in art classes, you will probably find quite a few available.. There are even franchises for it now.. Typically, they pick the art the class paints but when it's done, you'll have a canvas piece you did to take home. Here's the website for one that most likely has location in your area Painting with a Twist

kimihh- I love having the trash under the sink. The sink cabinet we had before was huge and we had a trash can under there for the 6 months or so after we moved in before we started remodeling so I knew it would work for us. It's rarely an issue if someone else needs to get into the trash while I'm at the sink since the sink is so wide. I just stand over a little to the right and the pull-out can easily be used. Sheila F - it's not huge, probably 5'6" x 11' Russ- that was the original range we bought, a nice gas freestanding GE. I kept pining for a slide-in, though, and as luck would have it we stumbled on the Samsung on clearance at Best Buy for $949, about $100 more than we paid for the GE. I sold the GE on CL to a very happy woman. That was back in April when I took those dining room pictures. We are still on the road for another week but I had some time to post so I just used the ones I had!
