Would you mind selling me a piece of the C. Margaret Hort? I will pay for plant plus shipping. No prob if you aren't able to. I live whites....See MoreThoughts on this CL bookcase?
Comments (21)Jen, it took me quite some time to convince my hubby that we could actually make built in bookcases for the library. It finally dawned on me that the closet system I designed and we made together was a basic version of built in bookcases. Our walk in closet. We used cleats to hold up the shelves in here since they are not adjustable. This picture was for a blog article I wrote for HomeSpot. It was impossible to get a full shot of the both sides so I took two photos and put them together, which is why the floor and walls look more like a drawing. I had to do that to make it look look like a single view instead of two photos placed side by side. And here is a photo I just snapped of one of the sides of the library bookcases. The ones with the class doors were purchased through CL before I convinced my hubby we could design and build them. Since we didn't want all the built ins to be as deep as the CL cabinets, I designed a double step back, dividing the depth so that they larger cases on the sides of the room would be bookcase depth. This is one of the rooms in the house that my hubby has final say on, so the decor is his choice. After all, it's his room. However, I am working on finding more decorative file storage instead of the plastic container on the bottom shelf in the corner....See MoreI hate to bake...
Comments (28)Annie, I’m sure you know this, but for others: The Magic Mill, Ankarsrum, DLX, and Electrolux are all pretty much the same. And I know whomever gifted it to you is thrilled it’s being put to such wonderful use! I was using a 20-yr-old hand-me-down Sunbeam (amazing how those old appliances last!) and lamenting (for the umpteenth time) how I’d love to have a KA when DH ‘out of the blue’ urged me to go ahead and buy one. He sent me a link to the Ankarsrum, which I’d never have purchased… but the ‘go ahead’ was his way of apologizing for the previous month when his sister’s dog brutally attacked my face and DH behaved badly toward me. So I chose the Ank over the KA. Sure has been handy for both small and large quantities of dough! Nancy, I certainly understand. I baked elaborate desserts for friends and acquaintances special occasions but have since ‘retired’ from it with less time on my hands now, but gosh how I miss it! Now I bake large quantities of breads, cinnamon rolls, coffee cakes, and doughs for DH and myself, dividing into small portions and freezing most for later. What a time saver! We have no children, grandchildren, or other relatives to enjoy, either. I now concentrate on expanding my repertoire of entrees, which is more ‘useful’ for the 2 of us. Sounds like you’ve done the same with the finger foods and tea sandwiches : ) Loved your description of the cocoa powder Floof, and carrot Grit Gods! I used to juice carrots and that orange stuff was all over the place! How I miss carrot juice… Cathy, I’d far prefer to bake/cook than clean house… our home is not often terribly clean, but we eat well! Seagrass, so true about broccoli – steaming is a breeze, no fuss, no muss, fewer pans and utensils to wash!...See MoreFloof-ish. Are you a fan?
Comments (49)Yes, rob. That was sort of the premise for my whole post. The tedium of ceremony before getting to the point. Whether it be a celebration, a get together, a sporting event, a show, a class or test, a meeting, an announcement, anything. I was wondering if anyone actually enjoyed such, and if not, why it is still so prevalent to fiddle faddle around before the main event? Think gender reveals. All sorts of leading up to things, trying to build suspense, for what? if you want people to know what you are having send an announcement out. If you wanna have a party about it just do so. We're having a boy/girl! Come celebrate with us! Its that easy. It would work for most other happy events. We got married! Come celebrate with us! The kid graduated! Come to a party to celebrate! I think it would be better if people keep in mind that a lot of people only attend such events either out of obligation/guilt, or indeed to take the opportunity to get together with family and friends. I know that the bridal industry pushes the idea of a fairy tale wedding HARD so that a lot of young people think that they NEED to have such an event, and get excited for it. Thus the tradition of family and friends and friends of family showing up to suffer through, in order to get an opportunity to see each other. Why not just get married and then have such a party? Same thing with things like training or meetings. No one is there for fun. We are here because we have to be. No, I do not want to see your pretty little PowerPoint slides, unless they are RELEVENT to why I am here. I do not want to play an ice breaker. I either already know someone or will likely never work with them, so stop wasting time, get to it so I can get out. I am an adult and can either get along with everyone or at least fake it for works sake. I need no help from an ice breaker game. get to it. Or a game. I want to watch THE GAME! Not someone warbling and over embellishing the national anthem to try to make it stand out. Not a dance or cheerleading routine. The game was supposed to start as 7. Its 8:30 and nothing sports related has happened. I will for sure attend all the future weddings of my nieces and nephews that I am able. Out of OBLIGATION and GUILT, because I am their aunt and I love them. And I will make small talk and rant and rave over the decorations and how lovely the colors looked and how well done the ceremony was......then I will be thankful that it is over. I do hope I have at least one that thinks like me.........See MoreJenn TheCaLLisComingFromInsideTheHouse
