Any suggestions on what I can replace these with ?
I’m beginning to have distain for our pendant lights and chandelier in the kitchen Too formal and Gothic and that medallion oh my ! We’re going to be replacing our appliances slowly and possibly with stainless. Perhaps 2 chandeliers over each or stay with coordinating pendant and chandelier. Any suggestions? I love the look of those globe lights but don’t know how we could use the one ceiling entrance. I would rather not have my husband do a lot of rewiring. Any thoughts?

I can't find the peony i want anywhere.. any suggestions?
Comments (13)You can try growing them from seeds. On eBay, they always have the auctions for 20 seeds, starting at 99 cents and they come in all different colors so you might find the kind that you want. They even sometimes have the one for 50 seeds at 99 cents which is harder to bid, but I've won it before a few times at the starting bid. If they are planted now, most of them will likely germinate spring of 2013, but they are very rewarding and I believe they are well worth the wait, if you have a spare garden bed or pots for them. They also have a very high germination rate. Here's my latest blog on them. Here is a link that might be useful: seedlings...See MoreAny suggestions for replacing swinging door hinges?
Comments (3)Thanks! Yep, sadly the floor-mount type is indeed the kind we have...ah well! :) One of the two hinges sold by HoAH is a pretty close match for the size, though, so we think it will be feasible to retrofit it to the door/floor by filling a section of the floor (and maybe the door too, though fingers crossed that the fit will be close enough there). We have a really crazy floor situation where it was actually mounted to the fir subfloor *before* the oak floor with inlay was laid around/on top of it---so it was quite a feat to get the door down to begin with (though the flip side of that is that I suspect it's why the door was still in the house at all---too much work for past owners to get it off!) I ordered that one to test out and see, but was curious to know if anyone had experience with it or any of the others (or good advice on retrofitting!)...See MoreCan't find any good reviews of carpet. Any suggestions?
Comments (17)Stanton, Mashland, Karastan (higher end) are wonderful products, and I would go wool. However, Smart Strand is a good medium priced option. Agree with Elizabeth B…the padding makes a huge difference. I always recommend SmartStep. It has a waterproof barrier which keeps spills (and other liquids…(woof, woof) from seeping into the pad. Ever tried to remove a stain from a rug, think you have accomplished it and two days later it is back? It is because the culprit is in the pad and not the rug. If. the pad needs to be seemed, have the seem duct taped or as I have always called the product DuckTape....See MoreAny suggestions on replacing front porch awning.

That being said, those lights suit the space, your chairs, wall art, cabinets etc. So I wouldnt do anything too light or it will look flimsy in the room. Judging by how high you have the nook table light, you could do a semi flush there rather than a hanging light. Kichler has a lot of styles that would work for you.

also consider doing two single pendants over the island.here are a few ideas w/coordinating dining lights (not matchy-matchy!)
And some single pendant lights.I realize this is more modern, but you could find something less so.
I love this one from pottery barn.
there are a lot of similar looking dining table lights that would work w/it. This is my own dining light:
some others:
island or dining table pendant
