I have found and ordered Johann Strauss at Regens, still looking for Royal Higness. I have both of these roses at our family vacation home in Rancho Mirage and Royal Higness does very well there so does Johann Strauss, I have posted a pic of the RH. I purchased these 2 at a local nursery in Palm Desert about 7 years ago. They do so well there that I want these 2 here at my permanent home. Below is a pic of my Royal Highness and it does not lack vigor it is a bloom machine for me, I just love the long thornless stems, to the left of RH is the Johann Strauss. My roses do so well there, very healthy, when it is not 118F. The tallest rose right in the middle of the pic with the light pink blooms on it is the Royal Higness look how tall it is, it does not lack vigor at all. This rose does very well for me. The climate here at my permanent home is pretty much the same as in Palm Desert, so it will do well here too. I will look at the nurseries that were mentioned above. Thanks Carrie

Great find! I love the green fabric you chose to cover and I would definitely NOT skirt such great lines. I also don't think this sort of chair normally has cording, although I guess that's personal preference. It looks authentic now, without cording. I have seen them with partially padded and upholstered arms too, from where arms meet the back to about halfway down the arms, if you felt like trying that. I like the idea of the low-back pillow to add interest... also very easily changed out. Your living room looks so pretty and inviting and I'm loving what the touch of green will do for it too.

WOW! Thanks everyone. I'm just now checking since Tuesday. Segbrown, your kitchen is to die for. Seriously, it's beautiful. I love your home. It reminds me very much of the one I left behind when I moved to TX. *sniff. sniff.* I LOVE your mix of hardware. It just look smashing. I didn't mix it up as well as you did because I only have a 10 x 10 kitchen in this house and I there isn't much to work with. ha. Unfortuantely, I didn't see your response before I ordered pulls last night from RH. I chickened out over the Aubrey due to the screws. I know. I know. I shouldn't have, but I can't stand the thought of 4 holes. It just seems excessive to me. Really...nothing compared to the Aubrey line, but I ordered Ephram because it's just simple and I think nobody will really notice them as they won't stand out. I'm sure it will be fine when all is said and done. I think I messed up because I didn't order any 6" pulls. I ordered 8" pulls for all the drawers because I didn't know what else to do. I have a 15" trash pull out and a 15" drawer above it. I have four 18" drawers, one 24" drawer and six 30" drawers. I'm wondering if I should get 6" pulls for the trash and drawer above it and maybe for the 18" drawers too. What do you all think? Would the 8" look to over-sized? I ordered the matching knobs for my 3 glass upper cabinets (I didn't want a lot of uppers in this small space so that's all I have)and the cabinets that are hinged. I don't even have an island to buy hardware for. ha. Lastly, I ordered the 12" ephram pulls for the pantry doors. I wasn't sure what to do about the pantry. Please give me your suggestions. Just because I ordered the hardware doesn't mean I can't re-order or change it up some. I'm not stuck with it. Ci Lantro, the pulls you shared are beautiful too. I'd return the RH pulls in a heartbeat, but like you said...they just don't have any sizes to choose from. I can't tell you how I've searched online to no avail for graduated sizes of pulls. Maybe we should go into the business because there is so little out there! fori...you made me LOL about the overused liquor cabinet. I think you are on to something there....ha. I love your sense of humour. I will post photos as soon as all is finished. It's about 80% now. Fair warning though....my kitchen is not the typical kitchen shown on this forum. I didn't have resale in mind when I put it together. It's colorful and happy and god knows....this house really needed a huge dose of both. It was a spec house built in 1981 and EVERYTHING was still orginal...all builder's grade...not one color was in the house but beige or brown. It was tired and dirty and worn out. The house lacks any architectural interest too...so....there was nothing to do but go with it and make it as happy as I could with color so you wouldn't notice the bones aren't very good. I would venture to guess most folks on this forum won't like it much. ha.

Well, this was a fun question. If you use zillow, you can put in a search term and zoom way out - so I looked for victorians in about a 20 state area, here were a couple of cuties - hopefully the links will work: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/201-S-2nd-St-Independence-KS-67301/77251538_zpid/ $210K https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/211-S-Clay-St-Mount-Carroll-IL-61053/105567434_zpid/ $155K
