i do not know this lavender, anyone else know?
Comments (6)The foliage and flowerhead look very much like L. citriodora, but it has a disinctly lemony scent, not 'greasy' or oily as you describe. Check your library or bookstore for The Genus Lavandula by Tim Upson, Susyn Andrews and Georita Harriott. Very detailed drawings of the various species as well as good descriptions and lots of photos....See MoreAnyone else still in the house?
Comments (16)I just want to say that you guys have encouraged me to try and start some things from seeds next year. I have made a cold frame for growing my seedlings in but was too late to grow my own plants before it was time to put them in the ground. I live in Louisiana and it is also hard for me to imagine that there are people who have to wait unitl Memorial Day to plant in the ground. If I waited until then I shudder to think of what I would end up with. My plants have been in the ground since the week after Easter and doing well. I am glad I dont have to waith as long as you guys because I have to MAKE myself wait for warm enough weather in my climate and that KILLS me! I would like to post a pic but cant figure out exactally how can someone tell me how to do so. It shouldnt be that hard because I am computer savy just cant seem to figure out where the attachment type thing is for pics????...See MoreAnyone else remodeling their smaller home?
Comments (29)It was more that I was soooo excited to have such a great kitchen in a house that was in our price range and I saw it as "wow, I might have picked all of this myself... except for the counters." I really love shaker cabinets and although natural maple wouldn't have been my first choice, it wouldn't have been my last either. From the moment I saw the house I had in my head that the kitchen could be perfect if I just replaced the counters. I LOVE corian counters, I know most don't, but we had them in our first house and I really loved the surface. Then the list of things we wanted to do in "phase 1A" of making the house our own was formed and I just couldn't justify ripping out perfectly functional 1 year old counters because I wanted corian that would have cost nearly $5k. With that same $5k we did everything else in the entire downstairs, including new crown moulding in the dining room and living room, the wallpaper and borders, paint, the floor in the kitchen (the old one was just not functional for us) plus a bunch of plumbing work (some old house issues but also installing a whole house filter, slop sink in basement, plus running water and gas for washer/dryer on the first floor) and other assorted stuff. That money went a LONG way to making the entire house "ours" and frankly, if we had used them for counters i think the impact would not have been as great.... or rather that I managed to achieve just as much impact by changing just about everything else and leaving the counters as is. Unless anyone here has a small house and a huge pot of money I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about on that front. So no, I didn't care much for the counters when I first moved into the house but once I decided to work with them, I surprised myself by how much I ended up liking them. One thing I liked about the PO's kitchen (even though I didn't like a lot of his decor choices) was that it felt fresh and clean and I think the green counters contribute heavily to that. I figured out a way to work my favorite color, cranberry/pomegranite red, into the equation as well as that vintage coziness I was seeking using some of the better parts of my husband's coca cola collection and it all just sort of clicked. I love my house and I love that I've been able to do most things on a budget with a little creativity, some ingenuity and a LOT of patience. To get back OT a little bit, I think actually this is a benefit of a smaller house... yeah you might not have as much room to store materials but the scale of the projects being smaller allows you to save time and money on less materials. Our house is on the big end of small... well, frankly I don't consider 1900 sf to be all that small but we have many rooms, 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, an eat in kitchen, formal dining room, living room, mud room and a fairly large front entry hall and we face a lot of small house challenges because with the exception of our kitchen, our rooms are on the small side... but when we were looking at homes I was overwhelmed at the thought of renovating larger homes. It felt like I'd never be able to get my arms around the whole thing. With a smaller house, there feels like there is an end in sight even with my snail's pace....See MoreAnyone else name their home à la Keebler Cottage?
Comments (19)Bumblebeez, I AM very lucky, and I say that every single day. I bought this house and yard looking VERY different in Dec. 1986. In all that time, the only time it came close to my house is the '200 year flood' in October 1996. But my house stayed high and dry, despite the road/bridge over the river washing out and the street being closed for 10 days while it was reconstructed. I'm so close to everything I need, stores, airport, you-name-it, but I look out back and feel like I'm on vacation every day....See Morejupidupi
