Do you have to have a full backsplash?
Comments (17)I just went for a tile consult today and am in a daze from sticker shock. My initial choice of tile was almost $30 a sq foot. Now that may not be bad, but I was doing a full wall of tile on my sink wall (6 feet x 6 feet) and 2 - 17" x 36" backsplashes on my island, 1 on each side of the stove (am appreciating its high back with no backsplash needed now, lol). I am starting to think I may shorten my sink wall and have the tile stop below the open shelves instead of going almost to the ceiling. It sure would save a hunk of change! Of course, I would not dream of going with the almost $30 tile anyway as I am also tiling the kitchen floor, den floor and master bath floor. Doing approx 280 sq feet of floor tile is going to kill the bank acct before even worrying about the backsplash ticket. I had found bathroom tile for $12 a sq foot (marble basketweave) and I thought that was pricey. The tile person today says her store pays more than that for the same tile, so I guess that is a good price after all. So glad our master bath is modestly sized now, lol. BTW - shelayne, that tile is simply inspired! You make a very good case for a shorter backsplash, even if you don't need the savings ;) (which, of course, we certainly do!)...See MoreDo you have raised veggie garden beds - in full sun?
Comments (10)I just did a green manure over winter and then double dug the mass of Austrian peas and crownvetch deep into the bed this spring right before planting. They told me to wait 2 weeks but I didn't because I was already late. I figured it would be two weeks before any roots got down there.. GOD, everything is loving it. It could be all the rain too. I have never seen green beans so happy or cucumbers so quick out of the gate and fruiting so quickly too.. I will be doing green manure to half my garden next year. I missed having my winter garden last year. About the draining water. My raised beds are big enough and high enough so I plant in ditches around tomatoes and build hollows around my cages of beans. Everything gets a bit of a ditch in the summertime. When I water the ditches and walls direct the water to the roots. It does not spread out. I learned that from someone who gardens in New Mexico. I have been thinking of using some ollahs too as an experiment. There are ways to make them with clay pots and a plastic gallon jug with holes in the bottom variation....See MoreDo you have a hard-wired magnified mirror in your bath?

Comments (14)Ok, forget I asked anything. I’m not asking for critique of my design style, what I’ve chosen, or where it’s put. Jesus Christ, I’ve never seen a more rude bunch of people than these Houzz forums. Same thing happened when I was asking between two cabinet pulls. Didn’t like either, got lots of suggestions what I should get instead of picking between the two I posted. Horrible suggestions too. I asked a simple question. Leave the mirror hung higher or lower it. I don’t care if you don’t like the mirror. I don’t care if you don’t like where it’s hung. And I don’t care if you don’t like the rest of the room. That’s between me and my designer, and I didn’t ask for your input. I asked solely on the height of the mirror, and I’m appalled at the rudeness of the responses giving me input on everything except that. IT’S NOT YOUR BEDROOM!!!!...See Moreeld6161
