First appears to have some similarity to Papaver rhoeas but... for one thing I'm not sure the way the leaves are arranged in the center of the rosette would be seen on a poppy plant. Second does look just like too many weedy thistle seedlings I have encountered.

celticmoon, thanks for your thoughts. I could still move the sink, which I am not opposed to doing if it serves a function (extra counter space is a good function). There are 42" there now; do you think more will be useful? I was not thinking of getting a pot filler, but if that sink is further away, I might want to have one there. Aesthetically, I can live with having the sink not centered under the windows, though I know some don't like it (or worse). The windows have been ordered and framed and the outlet for the range was placed yesterday. I forget whether we decided range placement or windows first -- I knew I wanted lots of windows, but may also have been about opening the oven into open space. I could move it inches to the left, but not much. I see what you mean, looking at the layout, the island prep space doesn't seem so convenient to the range, though it has seemed to be whenever I have walked through it, so I have not thought of the space between sink and range as main prep. What about moving the island a little closer to the fridge (drawn at 46" from the fridge door) and/or moving the prep sink to the right? That would cut my landing space and the width of my drawer bank there, so I'll have to look at what I'm storing there to see if some of it can go elsewhere. The windows will arrive either this Friday or next and once they are in place the final measurements will be taken for the counters. We will approve the drawings before proceeding, and the cab guy will waive additional fees for revisions pre-production. I will put those out here when we get them.

Thank you everyone, and especially those of you who have posted photos. I have been on a little hiatus because I had some minor surgery, and to be honest I forgot that I posted this! I truly understand what most of you mean when you say that you should not prune until the roses are about 3-4 years old, I know they need their energy stores, I know that they have awkward teenage stages (hey, who doesn't?). The thing is that most of the ones I am having troubles with are Austins, and just judging by how much growth they put on last year, if I went this whole year without pruning them I think by fall they might be gathering up mailmen and loose dogs that wonder on to my porch. I suppose I am of the same mindset as Lori_elf, to help inspire new growth I want to get rid of some of this awkward growth that will not support strong, large canes, even if they seem a little young for it. I always get a little confused when talking about the ages of some of my roses anyway, Munstead wood for example is going into it's second year in my garden, but I purchased it as a large (4' at time of purchase), grafted, 3 gallon plant from my local nursery, so it obviously spent at least a year with them, if not more, so would you consider him to be 3 years old at this point? or still just going on 2 because that is how long he has been with me? Not that it really matters all that much because when I judge them, I don't really consider their age as much as I consider their overall size and the vigor that I have witnessed under my own care. For example, I have two Jude the Obscure plants which I got last spring, both have been living in pots that are 12" across since their initial transplant. One plant was a band from from Heirloom and it was purchased earlier in the year, the other was a gallon sized plant purchased from Chamblees purchased a little later in the year. The band from Heirloom really took off and put on a lot of growth last year & is now about 3' tall, he is the one with the odd candelabra situation. Even though the Chamblees specimen was supposed to be a "gallon sized plant", he has grown much slower, but has retained more of a pleasantly round & even shape, it is a little over 1' tall. I feel comfortable pruning the Heirloom specimen because the largest cane is very thick & long, the plant is tall and seems very healthy. I would however not prune the Chamblees plant, it is still very small and looks very young at this point. I think this is due to the unusually small root ball it had upon arrival, both plants I bought from Chamblees did (the other being Molineux) which is why I probably won't be ordering from them again, they were puny as gallon sized plants and have been surpassed by every single band I purchased from Heirloom at this point. I did prune both the roses that I mentioned in the original post, but I did it gently, not removing the entire candelabra, just a few of the smaller branches here and there, or the most awkward growth on the cane in question, so that the new growth that they put on this spring will help them evolve into more balanced, rounded shrubs. I don't have many roses large enough to prune, so these two being some of my only decent sized shrubs (3-5ft tall) I really wanted them to be presentable, even if it sets them back a tiny bit, I need something pretty to look at while I'm waiting on my herd of 1 year old gallon sized babies to mature. I really don't think it will cause them much of a problem, because as I said, almost all of my Austins have grown very quickly and vigorously so far, and I already see Jude swelling into large buds in all the places I was hoping he would, so I think he will do great this year, still waiting on MW, but I think he will do great as well. I'll try to snap some photos today. Thanks again for all your responses! Jessica.

If I just needed a foothold for shaving, I would put a 4" ledge in one end.. Toiletries can sit on it, as well. I have used a fold-down shower bench at a hotel handicapped shower and it held my 310 lbs fine. I was impressed with it and even measured it to be sure that if I ordered one for home, I would get one at least that size. I believe it was only 14" deep and 21" long. My shower (which is going to be installed in the next few weeks after 4 years of planning!) is 37" deep and 62" long. I decided not to get a built-in bench because I cannot predict what I may need. I may need the space for a wheelchair. I do have a large plastic seat and I can get the back for it. Hubs takes it out of the shower when he showers, so it does not get wet every time someone showers. I have it set so that it is easier for me to rise, so it is hard to use it to shave. I did get a corner grab-bar/shelf that I plan to set at a low height to use for resting my foot on to wash.It is there in the corner. I figure that since my shower shelves are quite high, I needed it to have for when I need to sit to shower, anyhow. Another consideration for me is that I have a rainhead going into the center of the shower for use by me. Hubby does not like getting his face wet. I will enjoy getting wet all over, not just half of me at a time, which is the experience in a normal shower. I freeze for a while in the cold weather, under the regular shower head, until I can rotate enough to get warm all over! So by having a portable stool, I can position it under the rainhead.
