World Conifer Check List
Comments (5)Thank you for all the comments above. Most of my work was as a Forest Entomologist. I am not a taxonomist. I originally decided to compile my list as a checklist for collecting cones for another project I am working on. As the list progressed, I thought other people might benefit from a list that could be easily edited. I choose Farjon as it seemed to me to be the most up to date information available to me in the Michigan State University library. Please feel free to edit the list in anyway that works for you. Even with flaws, and all works of this type are bound to have mistakes and variances of opinion, at least it is a beginning to build on that is in a format that allows it to be easily rearranged, corrected or edited, which to my knowledge is not available anyplace else....See MoreArchitect-vernacular MCM-brutalist house with traditional kitchen
Comments (18)Actually the current owner, according to the public tax records has been there for seven years. Its harder than it sounds for many people to conceive putting in a kitchen in something other than the current mode, so I don't want to be too hard on the current owner. At least its natural wood and not neo-Edwardian. I think its the hutch that really grates and thats not such a big piece of the picture, I guess. The original kitchen in this house was probably stick built, not incredibly functional and maybe kinda ugly--I've seen some of the originals and I dunno...There was an iconic Louis Kahn glass and wood box up for auction last year or so, in order to try and save it from being torn down and replace with something neo-palatial, and one of the problems really was the kitchen: Tiny; shallow cabinets; some with sliding thin ply doors, that old 60s track light and 60s appliances. And you almost would have had to do an addition of another glass box in order to get what is currently considered a functional kitchen in the house....See MoreExterior paint color for southern vernacular house

Comments (9)Thank y’all for your opinions and mockups. I love open windows but my husband doesn’t. He likes it cave-like and doesn’t want to rip out the shutters since they’re on every single window in the house. The 6 lite is more traditional colonial but I agree it looks busy with the shutters. The 4 lites line up better with the shutters. I know it’s more age appropriate but husband & designer don’t like 1/1 and think it looks dated. We plan on removing shutters and maybe eventually building a portico to cover up the Mayan temple stonework...See Morebluesanne
