Worth saving?
Comments (3)If I received plants of any Salvia species that looked as robust as these apparently did when you got them, I'd pot them in potting soil and place outside in a bright, but not direct sun situation. Gradually I would move them to a fairly sunny spot here in PA where it is cooler, or perhaps a few hours of direct sun in TX, where it gets pretty hot. I don't think a humidity tent, wick watering system, or daily spraying of the leaves is necessary. Most salvias tolerate the soil becoming somewhat dry between watering, although constant moisture is probably ideal for many species. Overall, I'd err on the side of too little moisture instead of too much. And as pointed out, bright light is necessary for all salvias....See MoreI could use some SW paint color suggestions
Comments (2)Two quick thoughts....use the same blue in a more saturated version ...very pretty color, btw. Or surrender to the bathroom and find a color that is a pale version of the yellow-y beige, if you haven't tried that path already. It will have to lean toward a pale golden color....not a beige. Beiges have all kind of undertones you don't want to mess with. I struggled with a bathroom that had gray and peach tiles and finally succeeded by painting the walls gray. I kept looking for a good coordinate and finally just had to work with what I was given....See MoreI could really use some ideas for my bathroom - pics attached
Comments (16)There are three things you can buy. Lincrusta costs a fortune -- it's from the 1800s and they use the original machines to make it, and one that printed wainscoting broke down last year and no parts to fix it. It's firm and hard and thick. Anaglypta costs a little less and is thicker than wallpaper but thinner than Lincrusta. These two products have the higher raises and deeper depths to them, Lincrusta having the most depth. The pictures I posted are Lincrusta, to my recollection. This is where I got the pictures I posted above, and there are many more here: http://www.lincrusta.com/ It does tell you how to achieve each technique (the basics at least). >Do you they make embossed wallpaper that is already completed and doesn't need painted? I don't know. If you mean like what I pictured above? No I don't think so. That is Lincrusta and it is hand painted. Drooooool, huh? Yeah, me too. I think it is stunning. I would use it on the lower half of the wall only, so it won't be overwhelming. This treatment is something I've been thinking about doing in my own bathroom, but I haven't done it yet. If you buy the Lincrusta from that site, I'll bet they would be happy to tell you exactly which paint to buy and how to achieve the effect you want BUT they are in England, so what they have there may not be the same as what we have here. If you learn which paint to use, please let me know. Here: http://www.wallpapersplus.com/product15766.html They have my favorite one (the one pictured in this post) ON SALE for only -- are you sitting down? -- $137.50 per roll! LOL Unpasted, of course. I have NO idea how to cut it to go around toilet pipes, as in, does it crumble if you bend it too much, etc? Dunno. I did get the beadboard wallpaper from this company and liked them very much and found the paper easy enough to apply (though you have to be careful not to tear it when it's wet). Perhaps this would work? http://www.grahambrown.com/us/product/17773/Large%20Damask%20Paintable%20Wallpaper I've been thinking on my budget I'd mess around with regular embossed wallpaper and paint and see what I could accomplish. Then again, I AM tempted to go in and measure and see if I could get by with just ONE roll of that Lincrusta. Naughty me. Because that stuff makes me go weak in the knees....See MoreI could use some help choosing paint for my dining room
Comments (1)Just an opinion...I'd paint the vertical sides of the tray with the Wheat Grass and the horizontal (ceiling) parts of the tray with white....See MoreLouiseab
