Hey NYC - let's work together to make Gritty Mix
Comments (30)Working together is a great idea, I think. I need to get to Hicksville Agway somehow as well for the gritty mix ingredients - not just in the spring, but soon. I hope people are still watching this thread. What I have: * an apartment on Coney Island, Brooklyn, spacious enough to store ingredients or the mix, including temporarily for someone else, * time, health and willingness to help lift and screen the stuff for "the cooperative" (haha, let's call ourselves that), What I need: * outdoors space to screen the ingredients. I can screen indoors for myself only, but I'd rather do it outside in a well-ventilated space. * a car. My brother has a car and works 20 minutes from Agway, actually. Asking him does not solve the outdoors screening space problem though - so I like the idea of getting some of us together. It could be as simple as you offering the screening space, me delivering the bags there and us both working together on the mix. Gas /ingredients /equipment cost gets split proportionately. I need a bag or two of each ingredient for my mix (so, 3 to 6 bags total). Do you guys think we should exchange email addresses rather than communicate here exclusively? If so, hit me with yours through this site or directly to eugsko at gmail. Tell me what you need and what you can offer. For people who read this years later :-), feel free to email me as well, and I'll be glad to tell you what I know and if we still have an active "cooperative" at that time. Eugene. The coop secretary. :-) P.S. I wish we could just buy the damn mix!...See MoreThis painted kitchen doesn't work for me, but I'm not sure why
Comments (28)My cabinets were really white, but they were not a shiny laminate white. The cabinets had a baked on finish and were high end Haas, with a flat finish that was guaranteed not to yellow. The granite - Tropical Brown - has flecks of black, brown, white and gold which helped pull the colors together. The hardwood floors were supposed to be darker and more a brown tone, but that didn't happen. However, that picture was taken early-on, and the floors did darken to a nice patina. colorcrazy hit the nail on the head. I think if the ceiling in your first photo had white moulding, the cabinet would looked "married" to something instead of just being stuck on the wall. I love the kitchen in your second inspirational photo....See MoreLv Rm - need Help! new furniture need to make it work/colors?
Comments (7)yes, it needs to be all drawn together with a blue but I would go a bit more muted to the sagey side of blue. blue can sometimes end up looking too too blue. But a blue is a great choice and it will look very pretty, all of it. good luck. I also like the idea of putting a bit of the blue in your ceiling color to to make it all serene looking and not broken up by a white ceiling staring out at you....See MoreMaking cabinets in adjacent rooms work together
Comments (8)Thank you, all, for your comments. I do have a follow-up question: in the design a couple companies have given me, they have units of shelves of different heights situated side by side. For example, one set of shelves are spaced 12" apart whereas the shelves right next to it are spaced 16" apart. Since I tend to be very symmetrical, the asymmetry bothers me. Shouldn't shelves in side by side "units" be spaced the same? Beverly -- I've looked at the EasyTrack site before. I can't figure out how to use the site very effectively. Have you successfully done a design on it or did you contact a rep to have them do it?...See Morerobinbohbot
