Should it stay or should it go?
Comments (7)You would definitely have to haul the lemon inside. I have an olive outside planted next to the concrete house wall on the south side and it made it through the winter but it is Arbequina and more adapted for the north than most olives, I think. I have a kumquat I haul in and out but I don't take good enough care of it and only had fruit one year, though some people succeed well with them. The Japanese maples would do great. And it's not as cloudy foggy and chilly as you may think. Last year we had a couple of short scorchers where it got to 100* F in Camas and Washougal. You won't miss all the traffic and smog. We have the same dry summers you are used to, though. The winters seem long at first but I got used to doing a lot of other things indoors like knitting, sewing, remodeling. And the winters are mostly mild, sometimes there is snow or an ice storm but some winters there is none. I have seen temps down to 6-10* a few winters, though....See MoreSoffit lighting- should it stay or should it go?
Comments (6)Is that overhead lighting working for you in the old bathroom? A light bar and 2 sconces for our remodel last year took 3 months to get (long story) so we had to only use the ceiling cans. One above each sink. The shadows on our faces were awful, both for applying makeup and shaving. I put a diffuser in the cans which softened the light and helped a bit, but I was SO grateful when the new lights were installed. I don't care for the way they reflect off the wall in your photo, but it might only look that way in a pic, not in real light. They are very close to the wall. Taking out the soffit will open the room up more, but make sure there isn't other important stuff behind it (like pipes). -Babka...See MoreGlass for 1/2 wall (pony wall) what thickness should it be?

Comments (32)Oh good. I love purple and b&w too. Not sure how dark you are considering, but I once painted my 15x9 office a medium-dark purple (inspired by a magazine photo of an elegant dining room). As I was painting around the narrow end of the room the walls began to feel like they were moving in on m It was horrible! So back to the paint store for a lavender that hinted at periwinkle. So one option is lavender paint on top and dark purple rugs. FWIW, Kelly Moore lets you order 8x10 color samples, but you need to get the special form to fax in and then they mail them to you. I wonder if other companies do that too. ??? Good luck. Can't wait to see it....See Moreiamtiramisu
