I think I planted my rooted cutting too deep
Comments (2)I wanted it at the original level, but the soil kind of fell off from around parts of it, hope it didn't rip any roots out. I expected to see more of a root ball as big as it is. You have no idea how I babied that thing all winter. Who knows what's in my soil? I dug a hole, broke up the dirt and planted it. That is a horrid place with dryness in the summer, drains very well, and I'm running out of places to put things until I get my next project underway which will mean rototilling. That will help a lot. The soil was nice and moist and broke up well. We'll just have to see how it does, sure hope it makes it. I was tired from other digging and just wanted to get it over with. I'm not used to this at all. I'd better get used to it, huh? Thank you for giving me hope about that. It has a lot of leaves on it, probably needs all it can get though....See MoreI think I found my rug -- please vote
Comments (39)Since y'all are being so helpful, I took 2 more pix that better show the color of the wall: These are a little darker than in real life, and in real life the color is more gray. I went through 9 different colors trying to find the right shade of blue-gray to highlight the blue-gray granite with cobalt streaks in the adjacent kitchen, so repainting is not going to happen. Right now I'm leaning toward a dark denim sofa by Pottery Barn. As before, I regard denim as a neutral, and I think it would stand up better than off-white. Again, thank you for all your help!!!...See Morei think my pulls are too big
Comments (33)I am a fan over oversized pulls so I like your long pulls. I tried to make my pulls be about half of the drawer width. I ended up with 19-1/4 inch pulls on my 36 inch drawers, 13-1/4 on my 24 inch drawers and 10 inch pulls on my 18 inch drawers. As A2 said my pulls do not have the ends extending out like yours. I don't think you could easily change yours out for ones like mine or for shorter pulls because the holes would not match up. I think it would be hard difficult to patch the holes without it being somewhat noticeable. I think you will end up loving those long pulls. Its nice to be able to grab the pull anywhere along its length. Also it looks like there is nice projection so there will be plenty of room for your DH's fingers. As others have said give yourself some time to get used to it. From what I can see your kitchen is looking fabulous. Just so you know what A2 was talking about here is a picture of my pulls....See MoreI think my coffee table is too big for my new sofa! Ugh
Comments (52)If you don't really use the coffee table then how about an ottoman with a tray on it? Then the people on the couch portion have a place to put their feet up. I have a long, narrow ottoman in front of my couch. It was a place filler while I searched for a coffee table I liked. We got so used to putting our feet up when watching a movie that I never got that coffee table. Mine has a flip up top for storage. I keep a wooden tray in there and when we entertain and need a spot for drinks then I pop the tray on top....See Morerebeccamomof123
