Just getting started, what would you change?
Comments (22)The distance behind the stools and to the couch is about 4 feet, same on the other side that backs up to the door path. I am new to the program and haven't figured out how to make a bar overhang so had to just make a big tall table and can't show the stools tucked up under the counter. I have a 16" overhand and will be doing backless stools so they will be out of the way most of the time. Seriously, this cabin is really remote and it won't be like people are coming and going, especially during meal times. If someone were to show up when we are sitting there eating with the stools pulled out I'd be really surprised. On the occasions when we will be entertaining the island will be a buffet for hor d'oeuvres or for setting out food and we would eat on the screened porch or out in the big grill kitchen which looks like it could host 12+ easily. This is really just a 2 person house almost all the time. I am going from a 5000sf house on 12 acres to a 1350sf house on 10 acres. The hint to our kids being to come for very short visits, or camp out LOL....See MoreJust getting started. Please give feedback on the layout/floorplan.
Comments (20)Yep, these kind of properties beg for dogs, especially large dogs who love the outdoors, humans and especially kids. And it's worth pointing out that properties with ponds and water often have frogs, turtles (large snappers sometimes!) and even fish! Having lived with a near-by pond and stream I can vouch for the wonderful appeal of watching the frogs and turtles sun themselves during the day, and sitting out back in the early evening listening to the sound of the young "peepers" in the Spring, and later in the year the baritone serenades of the mature frogs! Positively wonderful. Hint: a nice glass of wine and a good companion are also great additions on such evenings. Architectural suggestion: Design your house so that the water is a positive integral element in the design and living experience ('cause as Anglophilia points out above, it's gonna be an element in your daily life whether or not you want it to be!)....See MoreCompt de Chambrod just getting started
Comments (10)I think she is 5 yrs old. The fragrance is heavy OGR. I was doing yard work today and as I was weed eating along that area, it had "stop and enjoy the fragrance in the air" effect. I enjoy this rose so much. And the judges at the rose shows I attend love it also. I've won several Dowager Queens with this beauty. One thing that I DON'T like about. It is very tough to propagate it. I tried 7 cuttings last year and non took. I'll try about 2 dozen this year and see what happens....See MoreNew to gardening and just getting started? Need Seeds?
