It's a bacterium that's pretty difficult to control. Rather prevelent here in the PNW as our weather is an ideal environment for the pathogen and it can decimate a good number of nursery crops. Recent studies by OSU have shown that there are numerous variations of the pathogen and that many strains have developed resistance to the typical controls, usually copper or streptomycin. Copper, like the Bordeaux mix, is likely your best chemical control or a similar product like Microcop. Application should be begin in fall and again early in the season before budbreak. It is likely too late to apply now that the tree is in leaf - J. maples are rather sensitive to sprays on their foliage and copper in particular can cause a phytotoxic reaction. I would remove the blackened foliage and trim back any leafless portions to a healthy node. Watch for stem discoloration and as you see it, prune out below it. (And yes, good pruners come in all sizes :-)) Disinfect the pruners with something like rubbing alcohol or bleach - Lysol spray is popular at my nursery. Plant it in a good location as soon as you can and keep an eye on it. A young tree in decent growing conditions could outgrow it, but nothing is guaranteed.

I thought I had already posted my reaction but let's just say that it was very loud, very unprintable, brought my DH running and he said something just as loud and unprintable. It could be translated and bowdlerized as "revered engaging-in-coition-with-a-female-parent excrement!" LOL One a-mazing floor and I am so glad you didn't just tear into it. DH wants that floor for a powder room in our next house... and he even said I could have it in purple, like that one. ;-) We had also bought the console that youngdeb posted - however, we didn't use it partially because it's very TALL! I'm short and it ended up hitting me just below the bodacious ta-tas, making me feel about eight years old. ;-) Because of the way it is put together, we couldn't just cut down the legs. (Once in place it was also too modern for the style of the room.) It got sold for half price on Craigslist. :-( Happily for the gal who bought it, she already had the Retrospect toilet to match, but couldn't afford the $500 sink. Vintagetub.com has a nice selection of pedestal sinks in somewhat smaller sizes with *cue the hallelujah chorus* free shipping. (They do not charge sales tax outside of PA. Whether you pay your sales taxes to the state in April is up to you. When I lived in sales-tax states I always guesstimated a ballpark figure that was undoubtedly too low, but it satisfied my sense of karma.) I have a Cheviot sink (a console though) and it is really great. With the clipped-corner toilet (which absolutely must stay, if you need repair parts for it contact deabath.com or antiqueplumber.com, and if you need to cut down the water flow put a quart bleach bottle filled with water in the side of the tank), I would consider looking for something with clipped corners for the sink. Definitely look at the Cheviot Art Deco, which I think is perfect! Also look at the Cheviot Mayfair (25" wide; also comes in a small 20" size); the Cheviot Classic bears a significant resemblance to the Porcher Lutezia at over $100 less (the Cheviot Essex is a close ripoffresemblance ;-) to the Porcher Pomezia and again over $100 cheaper), and the St Thomas Creations Neo-Venetian (22" wide, 34" high at front rim). I was able to find both Cheviot and STC at local bath showrooms. Contact Cheviot at 604-464-8966 for dealers, and STC has a dealer locator on their website. Try to get multiple names, call around to see if they have the models you want to see on display, and bring a picture of the toilet along. You will most likely have room for at least one nice shelf - glass or wood painted to match your trim - above the sink or the toilet to put down your lens case on. If you put a cabinet or shelf above the toilet, if it's the same depth or less as your toilet tank you are much less likely to bonk your head. Learned that one the hard way. :-) Don't trash the old vanity and its top/faucet - Freecycle it! I have found homes for my bathroom fixtures almost immediately.

Oh for goodness' sake. It's a can of paint, I'm not letting him run in the street, eat cupcakes for dinner, stay up all night long, get tattoos, or ride his bike without a helmet! I posted because I was unsure how to make it work, and you all helped me to see that maybe it could, especially if I just do one wall in Downpipe. If his choice was completely untenable, I'd tell him no. But if there is a way to accommodate him, even if it isn't my first choice, why not? It's a can of paint. Besides, it's so fun watching his big brown eyes open so wide with delight when you tell him something he's happy about. He keeps asking to see pictures of the "Avengers' bed" daily. He is so psyched. Yes, he's a lucky boy to have a say in his room. There will be times in his life when he can't paint the wall the color he likes best, and much much worse. But I refuse to prepare him for that famine by starving him now. This kid wakes up every morning, often before 5:30 (!), so excited to start his life that day that he can't fall back asleep. I can only wish that feeling lasts as long as it can.

Thanks to all for the responses!!! So awesome! And thank you MV for the congrats :-) We are extremely excited and look forward to putting the nursery together in a beautiful manner. Both items are much whiter in the store due to the lighting and they have agreed to return them both however, we would like to make it work with them. The trim and base still need to be painted (freshened up) which is why I’m wondering if maybe I should paint them more of an off white color to not clash as much?? Or, painting the room either a gray to pull from the gray distressing in both furniture pieces or leaving the pink.. We don’t want to paint the room yellow; least favorite color, I’m afraid!
