Sad, droopy chicken gizzard aralia :(
Comments (5)Please show a picture of a handful of soil - on a sheet of paper would be nice. Because aralia demands sharp drainage, it's easy to go straight to the probable conclusion that a lack of oxygen needed to drive root metabolism is probably resulting from over-watering; thus, your plant is unable to take up and move enough water to maintain turgidity. There really isn't much else it can be. Let's see what the soil looks like. If it looks really water retentive, you really should take steps cto fix it because you'll be fighting against that tendency until you do address the issue, and tolerating it is just not worth the angst.

Comments (48)So I'm not that great at estimating dimensions, but if I had to guess I would have thought you only have about 30" from mantel to ceiling? If that's true, the artwork you linked to above won't fit at 38" tall. Can you tell me actual width of mantel and vertical space you have from mantel to ceiling please? Now keep in mind that art is personal. We can mock things up, but it's really up to you to decide what makes you happy when you see it up there. We all have different opinions of what looks nice. I wouldn't worry about light vs. dark to balance the stove. Also, corbels may be decorative only in some situations, but they are technically designed to serve as supports for structures above them. So they would not be installed under the mantel with the appearance of being attached to the brick, they would be installed on the brick with the appearance of supporting your mantel....See Morefireplace mantle makeover

Comments (31)Agree that your fireplace, built-ins and wood trim are beautiful. I’d absolutely try to find another place for the TV, and style the built ins with books and a few (ceramic) pieces. (I know many disagree, but a TV screen over a fireplace-especially in an older home- is a hideous abomination to me.) I have a 1914 Craftsman bungalow and am grateful every day to be the owner of an older home. Appreciate your good fortune, and don’t try to turn your home into something it isn’t, please. I would do everything possible before deciding to paint the brick. Ours was painted white before we bought the home, and I so wish it was the beautiful original brick! The white was constantly smoke-stained and ugly, and we ultimately painted the brick a very dark, almost blackish green. We would have tried to restore the original brick, but at the time were not able to tackle that huge and expensive job. We’re not fortunate enough to have built ins like you do. And keep the original knobs, they are wonderful!!...See Morechickadee70
