Does anyone remember the person who created such great art on huge scales on concrete, tiles and such media? I am positive her name had a Russian/East European ring to it, something like Punamitsky, but that’s not it.

Wasn’t it teacats who had a darling cottage style home in Costa Mesa , then moved to Ky.?

And Judithva, who created the most luscious vignettes and tablescapes.

Yes, Martina, that is teacats. I always loved her cottage!

Name??! Inland Ca. Retired, DH an artist, lovely traditional home, roses.

Oh,here is another thread where we reminisced about Past GW members.

https://www.houzz.com/discussions/3922020/which-gw-members-do-you-remember-and-what-do-you-remember-them-for

Nuts, I just read the link you just posted and was surprised when I noticed that it was 4 years ago. I didn't realize that so many people have been gone that long.

Apparently (after reading nutsaboutplants’ link), I’ve been missing Oceanna for a long time. She’s going to think I’m some kind of weirdo stalker if she ever reads here. 😆

I too miss Tibbrix! I’ve also wondered what happened to pennydesign and Rita/bring back Sophie 4 real.

I searched on Tinker2006 to see her FL reno again. Some past member names came up in those threads. Also you can see Pipdog's original home that I always admired. Loved the coziness of Zuzu's four chair arrangement with a round coffee table. Came across members: Fori, nosoccermom, Les917, Ingrid_vc so. CA zone9, ellendl, deegw, Yayagal, cooperbailey, jockewing, tuesday2008, amck2, bac717, bungalow_house, brutuses, Lyban, Bethpen, natesgram, writeresblock, reno_fan, jaybird, msrose, deegw, Lavender Lass, oceanna, springroz, fouramblues, ttodd, beekeeperswife, michoumonster.............

Soonermagic - her adorable new built home was a favorite

So jinx, help me out here. Are you the person who posted wonderful photos of furniture pieces that you found and did marvelous paint finishes on? If so, are you still doing it?

If I have the wrong person, who was the one?

maddielee, we did the painted pieces, yes (thank you for the sweet compliments!) ... we moved and downsized, so I don’t have anywhere for such big projects now. Hope to again someday. :)

Ingrid is still around.

I loved Breezygirl's kitchen.

What about 2LittleFishies? Her kitchen was a real labor of love.

I remember brutuses passed away. Fori and ellendi (I think, similar name, but fewer letters) are still posting, on Kitchens and KT.

I just thought of laughable, who became laughable-moments, enduring, and angieDIY. Also LisaA and Jilllius, who were two of the best at kitchen layouts.

Mama goose, I was ellendi. Thanks for remembering :)

I also miss Rita. She was kind enough to ask her husband to give career advise to my daughter.

Yes I so remember oceanna's labor of love with the color posts. Remember? there was a blues, oranges, you name it.

And Eld- maybe you mentioned it before and maybe I already reacted but it's new to me. I remember Ellendi!

Ooooh thanks for mentioning teacats above. I loved her style!

Did 2LittleFishies have the pretty yellow kitchen and banquette?

What about CarrieB and her row house kitchen, and the patio door? I think that is my favorite transformation of all. I’d love to see her back and side garden now,

Oh yes Zuzus!

Jinx, I don't remember the painted pieces? Did you go by another name at that time?

Tina Marie, yes, I went by Miz_G.

I got signed out one day and couldn’t remember my password to get back in (had an old, closed e-mail, so couldn’t get it sent to me).

Speaking of fabulous row house transformations, does anyone remember Kevin, maybe KevinM. Oh he did such a fabulous job with his house, kitchen, bath, then a bedroom full of Ralph Lauren textiles. So lovely.

I often wonder about SixtyOhNo. I hope she is happy and healthy. I was looking forward to watching her transform the Florida house they bought, but then she stopped posting.

Another long lost person is AngieDYI She had a big stained glass window behind her stove and a interesting floor in her kitchen and was working on backsplash ideas and then she disappeared.

Oh, gosh, I loved Kevin’s house. I have an obsession with vintage RL decor, so of course loved how he used it. But everything else, too ... he had such a knack for decorating. It all looked so gracious, charming, and uncontrived. I’d love to see where he is now, wish he'd pop in with an update!

Lots of names I recognize and remember and some I don't. I'm amazed at all of you who remember the names as I'm not very good at it. When it is mentioned I do, but I just couldn't pull the name out. There was also one poster who loved purple and had everything purple. Does anyone remember the name? I love purple too, but have really nothing with purple as it never seems to work for me.

Wasn’t that Lavender Lass?

bpath if that was for me it was not lavender lass. All I remember is something with M. Maybe misty or miss or mrs something.

Mistybear?

Gotcha Jinx! You'll have to share a pic of furniture, cause I still can't remember LOL! I've been tinam, tinam61 and now Tina Marie - was in the same shoes as you!

Lavender Lass like bunnies if I remember right. Bunny pictures, bunny dishes, etc. She worked hard to redecorate the house she shared with her mother.

cat_mom——I remember your cool family room where you painted the brick fireplace charcoal and other elements were also charcoal.

Success—-Magdalenalee was who I was trying to remember as the one who was going to convert a barn to a living space. I think they abandoned the project or put it on hold. I don’t think she has posted in awhile.

And Ideefixe....

Emeraldisle

polly9something

Yes, Magdalena Lee! She was great,and very funny. Texas somewhere.

I don't hang out in Kitchens anymore but there was someone who was so handy and was slowly redoing her kitchen by herself. She would buy pieces as she had the money or barter for what she needed. Anyone remember her name. I hope she was finally able to complete her project.

That was CEFreeman. She had such a great attitude.

Yes, I remember CEF Freeman. She would find amazing deals. And Emeraldisle as I recall was going through a serious illness or a rough patch.

Good memory Joaniepoanie! We did paint our family room fireplace brick wall black, and are still glad we did. 😊

Has TTodd been mentioned upthread? She just popped into my mind.

CEFreeman - Thank-you. I liked following her story, And someone upthread mentioned Breezygirl - I liked following her story as well. They were both always so gracious in sharing their projects and asking for advice and thanking those who contributed.

Emerald Isle was struggling with infertility. Unfortunately her marriage didn’t survive it.

CEFreeman, I’m would love to see your kitchen!

Ida - yes TTodd was mentioned, she changed her name to FoxesPad but she hasn't posted in years but she always had interesting projects to work on.

There was one who had a dark gray foyer with lots of pictures. Long before the gray trend.

CarrieB has been posting recently about redoing her master bathroom. Loved her kitchen redo.

@User thank you that is it!

Anyone remember willowdecor? Also came across redbazel, redroze, amck2, tinam61

willowdecor and her husband moved to their beach house a few years ago and remodeled it.

http://willowdecor.blogspot.com/2017/07/our-next-chapter-introducing-stone.html

She has a new IG for it, but it's private,

Arapaho-Rd - I'm here - I was tinam61. Can't remember why I couldn't long in one day, but I had o change my name. Still have my same profile pic - thankfully!

Hi TIna, sorry about that! Glad you are here!

I always had kind of a girl crush on ttodd, based on her house. I remember so much of her house. I probably even have some of her pics saved somewhere. Yes, I may be a stalker.

For those that recall Brutuses,, she was building her cajun styled house in the New Orleans area. It wasn’t too terribly long after they’d finished it that she passed away from Cancer. So sad.
