MAY we all share some progress and positivity?!?
Comments (2)Thanks, dtrivino, for keeping this going. I may not comment a lot, but I love reading and liking posts! :) We are officially halfway through our door/drawer front painting. I'm having a bit of buyer's remorse, and worried the pale grey (BM Moonshine) I chose is too light, but, we are going forward. It might end up just reading white in the room, but I'd rather it was too light than too dark. And, against the white walls (SW Snowbound) it will hopefully bring out the slight greenish-grey color. We've also been working on trim in the house. We took out a partial wall between the living room and kitchen (it was 8' high, leaving a 6' opening above it), and opened up the standard-sized doorway considerably. We bulked up the existing 4" posts to make them more substantial (more like 12" now), and we are trimming them out. I spent all day filling nail holes, and hopefully I can start painting them tomorrow. Where we started (check out that carpet!): Taking down the wall: This morning: We're hoping to progress far enough to paint the living room this weekend, getting rid of that pretty line across the ceiling!...See MoreLet’s post Aeonium pictures
Comments (40)Here are a couple more 'now and thens'. This one makes a nice mound. It is not as leggy as many others get. The green is now post rain. The difference is not as dramatic on this large headed variety. In late spring it is more grey and the red is more pronounced. atropurpureum. atro. v. swartzkopf. This one is a little harder for me to root than most. I don't know the name. haworthioides. I like this one in both seasons. Maybe I like the red better because I have other plants that get dark. I need to get this one in the ground to see if it will grow a little stronger....See MoreLet’s share “Before and After” photos.
Comments (28)=) made it back to this thread to be able to post more now that I have some time to study. This is definitely is not studying, but it is my own social media interaction with friends so I need to take few minutes and then resume. Sylvia I really like your pictures, Moonstone is my number one hybrid tea. There is something lovely about a delicate white rose with that pink edge. It also makes a wonderful cut rose. I like your stone fence, do you have any plans for climbing roses? They would look amazing. Daisy and Desmond are just adorable =) Oldrosarian your picture of Cinderella left me amazed and drooling over it. What an impressive gorgeous globular rose. I then saw your shot with all the brown blooms and was a bit disappointed. Is this what happens to that rose every time it rains or something made it happen this one time? I recently planted 4 pomponellas and I think they may also turn this ugly brown as they fade requiring diligent deadheading. I am a complete crazy lady for the globular blooms tho and your rose is just spectacular. Thank you for sharing. Thank you Ingrid you entire yard is just magnificent. I don't know how you got that giant rock, but it adds another layer or charm and it fits in very well in the landscape. I love everything t you have done and it just seems to flow very well showing that you have a fantastic eye for design besides being a great gardener. Pippa I think you have made a huge change and I like the way you started doing. Everything looks organized and well planned. I have to admit to being very impulsive in the garden scene and just planting lots of stuff every where then neglecting to weed it. Your garden looks neat and clean, with good textures and great attention to detail. Which roses do you have planted in that large bed? HalloBlondie those pictures certainly count! Huge difference in a yard with such impressive winter cover. Everything looks so alive now and beautiful. Vapor your ballerina on that balustrade looks like out of a Spanish castle magazine. I love the soft girly look of that rose and feel like it looks wonderful paired with anything. Is that lamb's ear showing up in your picture? I don't have any, but have seen it at lowes and always wondered if it would be a good companion plant....See MoreLet’s take this from blah to bam!
Comments (24)@HU-121936772 It is a push Pin map but I haven’t brought myself to put holes in it. We just like to look at it. It is used often—when we read the news and need to look up an area, planning our next get away and drilling each other. It’s been a lot of fun to have, so that is why the kids want it to stay. @Maureen that is exactly the aesthetic I was aiming for! I had a jute rug that did not hold up to 4 kids and a dog. I’m planning on layering a sisal with a muted Persian this time. My dh Wants some color and that is my compromise. I’m switching out pillows and new chairs soon as well. Thanks for the input!!...See MoreJenn A
