Summertime ... 1 neighbor needs a lesson in boundaries!
Comments (52)HI Again I spoke to the crew leader Thursday. I showed him the property line and he put a brick perpendicular to the curb. Said he wasn't asked to cut the hedge back. I told him that when he is asked, that I have agreed. We shook hands. I responded with MY certified letter detailing the situation in the sort of painful detail one needs if someone threatens you with an attorney. I need to send my letter along with a copy of hers to the city code office when I can talk to them and see where to send it. I hate to bug them, but it's what she said she did... . Yes, I agreed to talk to her attorney and on and on. I have no plans to put up a fence. This area is deep shade now. A solid fence will turn it into a no grow zone like my back yard along the fence we put up for her years ago. I hope she cuts back the hedge to her property line and maintains it. I should get some new growth on the youpons and hopefully we will both be happy. I'll honor my word and not plant any vines next to the hedge. Once it's on her property it should be easy enough. Honestly, I feel excited and suggested she get the cutting done in a timely manner... by the end of August was my suggestion. We shall see. y'all have been a great help. You anchored me when I wanted to fly off. But when she said my vine was infringeing on her hedge and she needs access to it for maintenance. That was a joy. She wants the hedge and I am happy to let her have it....smiles. c...See MoreSummertime Fun direct swap-any interest?
Comments (38)new2quilting, I am pretty sure I caught you are Amy? I for one am not laughing, when I was new I didn't dare ask what a fat was, hehehe...I looked it up on google...then I still wasn't quite sure! Of course you are welcome to join, as is any new or more experienced forum member! That's why I like these types of swaps, it gets anyone involved in the swap experience, is no sew, fun and easy! Ladies, this I can see is going to be another big swap, as was the doldrum swap! For me to keep and divulge all the information is a bit overwhelming, so here is what I am willing to do to hostess this. First of all, to avoid taking over the forum, I will post a sign up on the conversation board...I will start two threads, one with swap guidelines and sign up, the other as a getting to know me thread. Here you will post your preferences, something about you, to help your swap partner find a neat gift for you. It will be up to each swapper to post there and to look there for your swapper. IF you find your swapper hasn't posted their info, let me know and I'll give them a little nudge to do so. This will let me keep an easier database of names, without the personal info. For contents, looks like the general population is interested in 3 fat quarters, a recipe and a gift. Is that right? I think the mug idea Gillian got from a swap we did a while ago, and it was neat, but does raise postage. IF you would like to get a new mug, put that in your info! How does this all sound? I'll be putting guidelines and sign ups up sometime today, have a few things I need to do first! Thank you! Lisa........this is going to be fun!...See MoreNeed Help with Exterior Paint Combo Ideas
Comments (3)Cute house. What's your style? What are your inspirations? I like this. Natural, serene. Not a real stark contrast in the colors except for the roof. More of a traditional colonial look. Not a huge change from where you are now....See MoreNeed wa Need ideas for living room wall with return vent

Revere Pewter is a great color. I've used it in my house for walls and trim.
Depending on how much contrast you want, it looks good with Copley Gray, Amherst Gray or a darker shade, Kendall Charcoal. Shown is Kendall.

But on your style home, I also love this combo, although I know you said you're leaning toward a lighter color:
