Deanne, loved your halloween vignette. You find the neatest containers and I love finials in any form and material. Michelle. I am amazed that your copper boiler has lasted that long. Who knew, copper would be so long lasting in the garden? Norma...enjoyed both your whiskey barrel pics and the pic of you waterinjg it. I have two whiskey barrels, but I have been growing peas up a trellis in them. String beans in the summer. I keep trying to plant something pretty around the edge, but nothing has looked good yet. Ei...great watercan collection! My fav is the purple. Also found the birdbath with succulents so eye catching with the alliums which are huge! I am a big fan of wire racks and mossed containers. I have one hay rack to fill this spring and I am going to need help figuring out how to moss it. Denise...I love your trio of wire baskets with succulents. Are they heavy? What did you use to hang them? I also love your bird cage idea with the candles in it. Marian...Your Achimines is so unusual. It reminds me of a streptocarpus, one of my favorites. Eden, the dish drainer is amazing! lol I would have never thought to put the dishes in it..and it fits just perfect! I have often wanted to catch a few yard sales to find some unusual containers to try to repurpose like this, but I seem to garden away most weekends in prime yard sale season. I did buy a couple of wire wastebaskets with the intention of mossing and filling, but I never did get around to it. There's always this year...hope springs eternal. Okay, who pray tell, is Angela?

I’m on my third unit. Just over a year and I have error message AGAIN on this one. They sold me on the unit because it should take care of the whole basement, but I hang up the damp rid bags and they fill up. Even in a bedroom right next to the unit. In my opinion it isn’t doing its job if it happens that close to the unit. I keep it at 50%. Since I am not in the basement as much, I’m not sure how much it is running. It seemed to be running a lot before it produced the code. It is at the bottom of stairs where I take my dog out, and it seemed to be running all the time.

This is timely for me as I'm unexpectedly searching for a new DW. I'll be staying FAR FAR away from GE Profile. Last night our 5 year old Profile began burning! We had just gone to bed when we smelled a horrible smell all the way in the back of our house. Ran out to the kitchen to find hazy smoke and an awful smell with the dishwasher superhot, unresponsive to shutting down, and reading 75 minutes to go on a 54 minute cycle that had been started about 2 hours earlier. We flipped the breaker and the plug was hot to the touch when we pulled it out of the wall. When we hauled it out this morning, my husband took the front panel off and the control module was a melted batch of goop. The wires were charred and melted plastic everywhere..... awful! Our house is fine, but almost 24 hours later stlll smells putrid. After researching this morning, I couldn't believe the number of GE's that have overheated and begun to melt.... it is truly amazing to read the reports of people that have been awakened by the smell of burning plastic. Google GE dishwasher fire and you'll be shocked. They recalled 2.5 million of them in 2007 but ours wasn't part of that recall. Still trying to decide what to get, but now that I know this isn't an isolated incident, it won't be another GE. 5 years ago I paid 750.00 for this unit.... that is almost 150.00/year .... pitiful!

@willychristianson.. Just to clarify regarding Bari.. From the Bari website link you provided: "Due to their incredible popularity, we have commissioned the original designer of the furniture to make several more styles.." Now, to unpack this statement, you need some history.. Richter designes produced the original RH sofa designs. www.richterinc.com. When you go to that website, you will see that it was acquired by Robinson & Robinson and was rebranded "EnergieDesigns, a division of Robinson & Robinson." This is a company out of San Diego, that holds several lines, including the LeatherTrend brand, which is manufactured in Tijuana, Mexico. Look hard on the Bari website- you won't see references to the Bronti being made in USA. You will also see the mfg listed as Ferraro, which I can't find anything on outside of the Bari website. I don't own this sofa, but I'd really like to see the little white tag under the center cushion, and who made it/where it came from. The buyer is to assume that if it isn't made in China, it must be made in the USA. But you don't see that on the Bari website. Only references to "old world craftsmanship, artisans, etc." And we have a retailer in town with what appears to be the exact same sofa on the floor ($3k), with an R&R tag and Mexico origin. Other retailers of Maxwell clones make references to made in "North America." I haven't decided how I feel about the ethics of marketing one less-than-fully-disclosed import as an alternative to another import (IF, in fact these RH clones are coming out of Mexico). Just sharing a little research-
