Help with placement of three clematis
Comments (1)I have only grown Huldine for less than a year, so I can't really share much about my experience with her. I do not grow the other two. The following information comes from Clematis on the Web: Duchess of Edinburgh (1.5 - 3.5 meters height), blooms May, June and September, grows in sun or semi-shade, pruning 2 Miss Bateman (2 - 2.5 meters height), blooms May to September, grows in any aspect, pruning type 2 Huldine (2.5 - 6 meters height), blooms July - October (November), grow in full sun, pruning type 3 This should help with your placement decision, but hopefully someone who has experience with these clematis will be able to give you more information. The International Clematis Society has a "Clematis of the Month" article on Huldine on their website. In addition, many people recommend hard pruning of all clematis for the first couple of years to help establish a stronger root system. Here is a link that might be useful: Article on Huldine at the International Clematis Society's website...See MoreMy appliance decisions are paralyzing my cabinet decisions!
Comments (10)I say get what you want and what is important to you or you will regret it. Our OTR microwave was placed low and is fine for me now, but we are remodeling now and I am a bit worried that "proper" placement will be too high for me as well as I am also 5'2. But we don't have a choice...I have a galley kitchen with not much counter space so OTR is the only option that makes sense. Even with our low microwave, there was room for a stockpot on the front burners. We live in an average tract house neighborhood and don't cook or entertain a lot, so getting high-end appliances did not make sense for us. I have had a GE Profile electric stove and OTR MW for 14 years without a single repair needed, so we went with GE Profile again...I also liked the looks more than other brands. Cabinets and counters were more important to me than appliances (my analysis paralysis was counters!). If you really have your heart set on GE Cafe or Bertazzoni, etc. then go for it! Otherwise you will look at your plain jane stove every day and wish you had gotten the model you really wanted. BTW--I bought my stove, MW and DW (Bosch) from Number1Direct.com and saved about $1,000....they carry the high-end brands as well. Everything arrived on time and was well-packed and crated....See MoreTime to make my final layout decisions, please help?
Comments (16)What are the dimensions on the pantry wall? You are smart to recognize how you really live, and plan for backpack space. I think the tidiest look would be a low built-in, open at the top. Eventually you could put a hinged lid and window seat, but for now, keep it open. Top access keeps things from spilling into the walkway, and dividers inside separates each person's stuff. In my upcoming remodel, I'm building what I call a "pantry wall", but it will function as command center, desk, and pantry. It will be 5' wide, floor to ceiling, 12" deep on one side and 20" deep on the other. On the 12" side, I plan to keep cookbooks, canned goods, small appliances. No pullouts. I'm adding 2 outlets inside one of the cabinets, for chargers. I would not use glass fronts, as you have shown, if it will be storage space. You said "I don't know how much I would store there". I suggest you go through your existing cabinets, and make a list of what you have. Then go through the new layout, one cabinet/drawer at a time, and figure out what is going to go in each space. Measure stuff. Decide what will work in your space next to the fridge; where the dishes will go; where to put things that need to be handy for cooking. That will help you determine what's left to go in the pantry shelves. One thing I asked my cabinet maker to do is add extra shelves to many of the upper cabinets. If the shelf will house cans of soup or coffee mugs, it doesn't need to be 12" high. I'll have more shelves, spaced closer together. Boxes of cereal need more space. I can see this being useful in your pantry cabinet....See More*Urgent* Need help with placement of island in my angled kitchen!
Comments (28)You know, it's really easy to experience brain meltdown when you're making a million decisions. In fact it is physiological, our brains use up glucose each time we make a decision and it doesn't get replenished until we sleep. No more glucose = no more decision making capability. So sometimes other people can see the solution that our brains just don't have the physical ability to realize. I don't see any problem with nicely suggesting a potential solution that a poster might have overlooked. Even if it wasn't asked for. "Tomorrow" in the original post is in fact, today. So I'm guessing Heather is busy with her install. She may or may not have seen these ideas, and she may or may not be considering them if she did see them. It's not too late to help someone else in a similar situation though who might find this thread through a search engine....See MoreTiffany, purpleinopp Z8b Opp, AL
