I am home for the third time after a 9 day stay, after calling the er to go to brookwood!
Upper thighs shows my lower bandages and the hematoma next follow up is Thursday. Very long recovery. Very loving care takers 24 hours of the day as I can't not walk without help. Loving thoughts to all my KT friends.
This is typed by my caregiver Da'drain who is here for tonight.

Please help me choose the perfect paint color combo for my house
Comments (11)Have you driven through the development and looked at all the houses to see if there is a color that you love? When painting an exterior a little bit of color goes a long way, so looking at a small sample of a gray green may look too gray, but by the time you paint the entire home it is much more green than what you saw when looking at the small sample. Comparing to a neutral gray is a good way to see how much color there really is in some of these muted shades. Rare Gray next to neutral gray: I pulled some of the greens on SW visualizer with Bunglehouse Blue as the door and Shoji White trim. I did not go through all the door colors or whites - just picked something I thought would work with most of the greens. I like the bluer green of Rare Gray For me, cascade green and coastal plain are too green - I like something a bit softer/muted: Cascade: Coastal: Retreat is too dark for my taste The next four are all more green/gray/beige (have more yellow than Rare Gray Chatroom and Gateway are pretty similar with Chatroom being slightly grayer/less colorful than Gateway. Chatroom may feel too gray, but you have to look at samples to see how it feels in your location. Chatroom Gateway: Jogging Path is a lighter version of Gateway gray To me Svelte Sage is getting too green beige for my taste, but you are the one who has to love the end result Side by Side comparisons;...See MoreDesign advise for new to me 1920 house
Comments (7)Thank you for the bump, I think I was super vague because there is so much going on with the remodel I have about 100 burning questions but didn't ask a specific one. Let me see if I can focus. Haha 1. Paint color for the kitchen needs to be selected by this weekend, at least for the trim throughout the house and the kitchen/mudroom area. If I want the rest of the lower level professionally painted, also needs a decision this weekend. We are not opposed to painting so could just do the rooms that "have" to be decided on and do the rest of the painting for the lower level at a later date ourselves. But that goes back to the whole lower floor cohesion question so I am not sure which comes first in this chicken/egg scenario. I repainted "muslin" to tone down the yellow and it looks the same to me at least at night when I saw it. We aren't living there and I work during daylight hours so I feel unprepared to make a truly informed decision. Thoughts? 2. Floor is red oak to be refinished throughout the entire house. Decision to be made in a couple of weeks. I am loving the look of the natural and would love to just sand all and do a clearcoat but not sure how it will look with other elements. Thoughts? 3. I mentioned the powder room but didn't give information. It will be board and batten about 3/4 up the wall painted deep sea dive by sherwin williams with an art deco style wallpaper above. I love color so could paint the whole house this color but want to be a grown up and try for cohesion. However if I could wiggle it in any of the other aspects of the first floor I wouldn't be opposed. Thoughts? 4. Here is the best pic of the tile I have for the fireplace tile, we are open to changing it. We did get gas logs for both this and the master bedroom fireplace so it will be used. Here is closer up of the tiles 5. I am probably jumping the gun on furniture/rug/etc since i am still working on foundational elements but was thinking about what I would like to have to make sure it "goes" (again thinking cohesive vision). It can come later for sure. 6. This is the first time I have done a remodel this extensive (also doing the upstairs but that is a post for another day) and dang, this is hard....See MoreHelp me choose the right colors to paint my Florida house
Comments (7)This is SW 6512 Balmy I made this using the SW Visualizer. I suggest you use it to try out colors. Then buy a few samples. Link, I hope it works. Came back to add, ignore the colors I left up on the visualizer. I should have removed them. Choose your own. Also, the staff at SW are very helpful, most of the time. They will know the popular exterior blues....See MoreSelf Designing Our House Layout. Tell Me How I Can Improve It!
Comments (91)Mark's list is probably just the physical details. If this client's experience was like ours, it was accompanied by a lengthy conversation about who cooks, how often, how is media consumed, who is getting ready for work at the same time, etc. When our plan (sadly, never built) was returned to us, he not only included all of the items on the list, but several things that we hadn't thought of, but he did. He was also more than willing to respond to our concerns. A favorite inclusion that was his idea was a little entry hallway between the door to the owner's bedroom and the bedroom itself. The closet and bathroom opened off the hallway, and the bedroom could be closed off with a pocket door. Would have been heaven for night shift weeks....which is why he included it. When I worried over the size of the dining area, he reminded me that we told him we rarely have big gatherings, and turning the table to be parallel to the kitchen island would solve the problem 95% of the time....without stretching a tight budget. Those types of details don't make the list below, but a good architect will sit with you and discuss until he or she knows them. If you're shopping for an architect, find one who wants to have a conversation, in addition to the list!...See More

5 years agoOh Glenda, that looks so painful! You must be very frustrated, too, as you've always seemed so independent. Continued prayers going up for your complete recovery, soon!
A rose for you. . . . . . . .
