Instagram anyone?
Comments (5)oh no. I'm already a facebook fanatic and think of it as my daily newspaper. I "like" pages for garden centers, plant nurseries, and local farmers who sell at farmers markets. There's some activity in Gardening in NH group and I just joined something for Pinetree garden seeds. It makes a big difference when the business makes frequent posts. Horsford Nursery in VT makes quite a few. I also like Rocky Dale in VT. Edgewater Farm in Plainfield NH posts a lot of vegetable related photos but in the spring they have great greenhouses open for annuals and perennials but close the greenhouses when the spring buying season tapers off. Spring Ledge Farm in New London NH announces things like farm tours and events. My local nursery usually announces sales or just a reminder of what's good to plant right now. daffodil, I'm reluctant to try something more and new on the computer. Is it the photos that are most appealing?...See MoreLarge Format Tile Curbless Shower Question
Comments (12)I also need advice on this. Our curbless shower has an off-center drain. We have already purchased and received our tiles (24 x 48) and our GC is now saying they are problematic. The floor plan is attached. Challenges as outlined by our GC include: “large format tile needs to meet the floor outside the shower at level, as well as not slope too high that it arrives at the door higher than the hall floor. The diagonal cut floor pattern ensures that the tile is level at the outside edge all the way around, which not only meets the floor outside at level, but meets the shower tile wall at level. Any other design will create tile lippage that doesn’t meet the floor outside the shower or the shower walls at level.” We understand diagonal lines may be necessary to make this work but want to minimize these cuts to a symmetrical area such as a square or rectangle. Second photo attached shows the first “botched” attempt by GC but outlines his general plan (hopefully corrected with center to drain seam). The third photo attached is how we would like to see it finished but our GC states that it will not work with above challenges. If anyone has any solutions that accommodate for the current tiles, please share. Thanks!!...See MoreGuest Room decor question!!
Comments (17)Yep, what Maureen said. Your photos are much nicer than any comforter and pillows will ever be. So select the photos you like best, then take a trip to Home Goods and get an inexpensive comforter and rug to compliment the photos. If you really want to stick with the black and white comforter you already have, which is very pretty, a great many of your photos will look fine with it. Black and white or color photographs would look great. I would hang three photos at most. I'm never a gallery wall fan, but I think it can get really chaotic in a small room. How long will your rare guest stay? A few days, a week? Pack a suitcase for that long, gather up any other bags you normally travel with, plus books, laptop or ipad, chargers, toiletry bag. Now situation yourself in your 10x10 room and spend the night in there. Put on bed clothes, get in bed and read a book, charge your devices, unpack or lay open your suitcase. Put the pillows in the basket. Put things on the nightstand. How does it all work? Are you tripping on things, do you have enough surface area? I recently did this in a guest room and it was quite eye opening!...See Morepocket door questions
Comments (7)A 30" Inch pocket door goes into a 60 inch plus one inch rough in/ opening. Why the arch??! unless it is opening to something quite special? The arch is the high point....84 of your door? You may want to create a template : ) You watched too much Instagram? A bit of overkill in my book : ) but you may have a different concept...See More- 8 years ago
