I am so excited, I am going to have 5 days off.
Comments (8)Well, I am still here, I spent the day at the doctors offices, and hospital with my son. I did not get home until 6pm, and I was too tried to drive to the coast. I am so glad I was off so that I could be there for my son. I have my car packed and ready to go, I am leaving as soon as I wake up. I have left instructions with my hubby to do a porch check every day when he gets home. He has been given instructions, and he knows what to do in case Santa comes. Barbra,...See Moreso what HAVE i been doing if i am hiring folks to do stuff for me
Comments (9)You all are so kind Mary- that huge shrub is a rhody.. starting to bloom right now- let's pray all this rain doesnt dash it all to bits this year! I hate that. Gotta Garden.. yes- I am goign to try the larger rocks when i get a chance :) You all can notice the difference? I look at these pics and think- gosh for all that work- it doenst show much of a change! :( Msscarlet- thank you for thinking my home is pretty. It's a little hosue- but i think it's kinda cute.. and i hope i get the cottagey feel across. I hear what you're saying about that blue spruce that blocks the view. it will only get bigger too... but here's the thing.. getting rid of that ONE might not make a difference- as you cna see in the pic- there is a HUGE one next to it and and even bigger one next to that one!!! haha. at first i hated them but I am rather attached to them now.. and this small one is the only one i can attempt to decorate for christmas. haha PLUS- there is actually a VAST amount of space betwee that spruce and the first corner bed by the house.. the angle the photo was taken at it straight one.. but coming from the other direction yu can actually see th ewhoel house.. i'll try to take different shtos for you guys and you can tell me what you think. Now Gladno1.. yours is the silliest question..hahahakeep bermuda grass out of my beds? You make me laugh!are you kidding me? what do you think i do all spring- march to may!! I dig out all the bermuda grass and re-edge my gardens.. it's horrendous. if anyone knows any trick- please tell me.. but i'm with you gladno.. this stuff is eveil. the only good thing is that it requires no water and stays short in summer and crowds out the weeds. however- it is EATING my driveway too.. can you believe it??!!! now you know why i need hired help right? all my energy goes into keepig bermuda grass out of my beds. haha...See MoreI am so weird...
Comments (2)Wonder if it'll become one of these: lilies taken outside Balboa Park's conservatory Here is a link that might be useful: lilies...See MoreI am so sad with my tile choice. What can I use on the floor?
Comments (22)Alterit, don't be sad! You are still well on your way to the look you want, really :). I have a very small bathroom and I used white wall tile-subway but the same color as yours. I also used the exact large hex w/white diamond as you are planning. Here are a couple of pictures so you can see how mine turned out. Warning-the room is so small (5x8) it is impossible to get a 'panoramic' view with a regular camera... Okay, close up view that shows wall and floor tiles: And here is a partial view of the shower area. As you can see I stayed with white as my primary tone-even my grout is white! The color is on the walls. At first I worried it was too stark but I do love the clean look of the white. Oh and the medicine cabinet is-wait for it-Pottery Barn: A bit wider view of the shower: I think once you get the wall grouted, and put in the marble top for your sink/cabinet you will find everything is coming together. One suggestion-instead of the white knobs you might want to switch out to something more traditional along the lines of nickel a la Restoration Hardware (see below). And you can also play up the traditional/PB style with your fixtures. Once you have your faucet, handles, shower fixtures, light etc you will see your vision become reality. Good luck, hang in there. It's hard sometimes in the middle of all the uproar to believe, but it will all end well and you will have a lovely bathroom.
