Holiday Rules to Live By!
Comments (5)Are those rules meant just for the Christmas Holidays????? No wonder I can't fit into my size 8's & 10's anymore! JUST KIDDING!!! Well, acutally, I really can't fit into my size 8's & 10's anymore, but not because I eat like that every day! But, boy--if I were to eat like that--even if only at Christmas time, I'd not even be able to "skid out sideways" my front door, come January!LOL How funny! Thanks, Teresa, for the laugh!...See MoreCan you name a motto you live by?

Comments (10)Thanks for trying to help. I will answer your questions which also helps me to think it through: no children, but visiting grandchildren. -it is not a new build, but a remodel of a 50’s ranch. The addition is the covered porch and the extension of the kitchen. -our “games room” (ping pong) will be in the finished basement. -my sense is that the family room is less formal than the living room and will be for relaxation and TV watching. Maybe incorporating a desk. -I could switch the family and dining but it would be an awfully large dining room that wouldn’t get much use as it’s just 2 of us most of the time. The addition will have large windows across the back. Lots more light than the room now labeled family. Planning a bench under the windows. Plus the new kitchen/dining will have a different floor from the rest of the house. If this helps and you have other ideas please share. Thanks again....See Morethoughts on this live edge chandelier design?
Comments (11)It's hard to see but there's eye bolts that can be tightened or loosened to level it, it's mounted to a piece of flat bar that will span the rafters. I would probably do a short length of chain if the ceiling height will allow, as that will give me more options than interlinked eye bolts. It's an older house, not sure how accessable the switch is. A control box for a fan is pretty cheap, but it might not be necessary. Mason jars are kinda her vibe, the fixtures are pretty expensive unless I make them myself, which I think I can....See More- 7 years ago
