Big Choices, Hard Decisions.
Comments (10)Oh dearie me - off to babysit in Norwich this weekend and, as promised, arrived bearing roses (and some other stuff). The couple who own the house had obviously started to make a garden because I had previously noticed a little rose on the trellis. I spied a label so looked to check....only to lurch backwards in shock. The tiny, tiny little garden and 2 foot wide bit of trellis has Rambling Rector planted on it. For those not familiar with this monster rambler, this is tantamount to planting a dahlia in an eggcup. It is obviously a baby rose, planted just this year but will, in short order, eat the whole of the garden (it is even smaller than mine at around 28 square metres).Will have to contact the owners and hope they are reasonable and will agree to a replacement (we should get away with rose replant syndrome). Naomi is now custodian to Royal Celebration and the hulthemia, along with a purple salvia and some penstemons and a slew of tulips. Mild wet weather makes garden planting and dividing easy, if a bit damp....See MoreKitchen Renovation...Decisions, Decisions!!!
Comments (5)I recommend instead a Blanco Silgranit sink over the Americast. You can do a search on this forum and find all the enthusiastic lovers of their Silgranit sinks. Especially those with hard water who dislike the water marks on stainless, have converted to Blanco Silgranit sinks. Americast can chip if you bang a heavy pot on it. Silgranit is granite composite, made up of 80% granite, with the durability of granite. It won't chip or scratch. Silgranit comes in several colors from very light to very dark. Since you are thinking of an enameled cast iron sink also, I am assuming you want a sink in the white family. Check out the Silgranit in biscuit, which is a creamy white. I'll link a thread below with pics. If you want a white-white, there was also a thread just posted of a white silgranit sink which I will link. Silgranit sinks come in many sizes. Also think long and hard about whether you want a single-bowl or double-bowl sink. How wide will your sink be? Last comment - be careful about buying a sink from your contractor, only because contractors usually charge a middle-man markup, which they should, since they are doing the work of ordering, etc. But that may make your sink significantly more expensive than if you bought it yourself, especially if you buy online. I'm not saying your contractor is definitely going to do that, but I would ask him how much he will charge you for the sink, and check his price against what it would cost to buy it yourself at a place like Home Depot, or online.

Comments (7)Thanks MIssy! I've looked endlessly, and I guess I just can't find anything that looks exactly like the cabinet we are going with. The door style is more traditional and raised as opposed to the shaker style that most people have used. We have the option of going with a true white shaker, but I'm not sure I like the starkness of it. My biggest problem is that some people have said that the antique white cabinets with the brown glaze, with the dark counters, and the grey tones in the carrara are too much. Now I'm doubting my decisions...I've attached a link to the cabinets that we're planning on using as of now, but they're are much creamier in person that they come across as in the picture. Here is a link that might be useful: Glazed Cabinets...See MoreHard to Make Kitchen Reno Decisions with Sick Child!
Comments (11)I know this is OT but I remember when my youngest (now 21) was about 10 months old and I was getting ready to give him a bath. I can just see his little body standing holding on to the side of the tub between my knees as I was testing the water. All of a sudden I look and there is green ooze dripping continuously out of his ear. My heart sank to my toes and my legs went weak. I felt like the worst mother in the world as he bounced and laughed waiting for his tubby. Never a fever, never pulled his ear, never got cranky, I had no way of knowing he had a raging ear infection. As it turns out... he's a 205lb muscle bound kid with a very high pain threshold like me who is half his size. Funny... out of all the good I've done for my boys... that is one memory that holds fast and strong....See MoreRelated Professionals
