Idyll #415 No Lines, No Waiting.....
Comments (103)Sluggee and procrastinator checking in - it's much better than cleaning - I seem to have caught a clean germ -- it's activated when one starts bringing out the equipment for heavy cleaning....appears the only treatment is to find frequent rationales for stopping and resting... Saucy - I love love those tufa pots -- and how you planted them as well! is that a saxifraga in the middle of the first one? it always reminds me of a succulent.... so wonderful - I wished i lived closer so I could purchase some pots from you!! Chloe thanks you for the compliments -- she's the resident house mouse and weighs all of 7 lbs but commands the roost - and yes, you can see why she's such a pampered pooch -- who could stay mad at such a face? plus she's funny -- just this a.m. she rolled around on the bed, got twisted up in a sheet and peeked out w/ just her face showing - w/ static flyaway hair poking in all directions - it was a laughing Kodak moment... they do keep us entertained, pets, dont they? Mary, ouch - your finger must be throbbing like crazy -- but it sounds like you have had way too much going on to think of it too much - what a special day your family gave Victoria... Kathy - my townhouse is a typical federal style for this area -- with lots of bricks, and various old style colors -- the neighborhood itself has loosened in the last few years as the homeowners association doesnt seem to watch re what folks repaint their homes as, but I do love brick -- and it's low maintenance in this area; I try not to worry about earthquakes..... now hurricanes might be something else. Julie - those are lovely candles and so unusual; as we've said here before, there's nothing prettier than lited candles in windows; your tree is pretty too - I noticed that like me you like multi-color lites on the tree; I like the white lites, but still come back annually to don the multis onto my own tree much as admire everyone else's white lites. Cynthia -- I hope you and Monty and all the rest of the pack enjoy a peaceful quiet Xmas. I imagine Monty doesnt notice too much if he's crated these days or not; he probably just enjoys the peace and quiet of being in your home. Funny you noticed the print on the chair - yep, that's the one that set the coastal/tropical theme in the family room; with yellow walls and a coral sofa, it's a pretty bright room - Im sure some would think gaudy, but I enjoy the brights and I think it finally came together pretty well.... six months later I still have not put anything back on the walls though -- I even hung the usual fireplace wreath on a door knob! See contemplating where/what to hang and it seems a shame to put a hole in the walls just yet.. Norma - you always amaze me with the new things and instruments you decide to take on -- how impressive -- just the thirst for new talents -- it's really neat. I seem to recall that a mandolin has a very deep sound? I bet it's lovely. Hope V, Woody and others feel more "the thing" soon... Im contemplating Chelone's concept that a dirty house might assist in boosting immune systems -- sounds like a good rationale to me! -cindy...See MoreDilemma for above vanity tower & lighting
Comments (41)It's true the LED strip is a little bit brighter than we would like at night so we might try to find a way to diffuse it a bit. But we love the fact it goes on everytime we walk in & turns off after 5 minutes of no movements in the bathroom. That's a great thing about Angie's list. I always tell providers that I found them through Angie's list & I'm not shy about telling them that I always post reviews there. For the most part, they make sure I'm really happy ;-) canuckplayer, I know from the rendering it's hard to tell but my tower is 15" above the counter. It's really easy to access the space under. Just like it's easy to access the counter under kitchen cabinets. My DH didn't put things away before because he had no where to put things other than on the counter. Now he will have lots of storage over & under the counter. Everything will be very easily accessible. Hopefully I will get the wallpaper delivered & installed by the end of this week & the mirrors also. Once the wallpaper is up then we can installed the towel bars & magnifying mirrors next to each sinks. Pictures coming soon :-)...See Moredrain pipe/supply lines and 6-9's off center and console sink?
Comments (3)You can certainly plumb it "as is", but with consoles or pedestals, non-centered plumbing will stick out like a sore thumb due to it being exposed. With the drywall not yet taped and with what only looks like a couple of screws holding each sheet to the framing, removing the drywall and replumbing is an option. But it's a "pain versus gain" thing. How much $$ is it worth to you versus any aggravation that the off-centered plumbing might cause you in the future? Were it my house I'd center the plumbing. I'd not be able to tolerate something that out of whack that would be exposed. But that's just me, and I can do all the work myself. If a vanity was going in there, an argument could be made to leave it as is, as it'd be hidden within the confines of the cabinet. So it's really a personal choice. Your choice of a console is driving you to a $$ repair versus an unattractive aesthetic....See MoreVanities or Pedestals-Help Me Decide
Comments (11)Thank you for your thoughtful reply! I will try and describe my layouts... On paper, the master bath is a 6 x 8 ft rectangle. The door opens outwards (in to the bedroom) and the sink is at the far end of the room. The toilet is on your right. Also on the right is a big (5 foot x 32 inch) shower w/ 3 shower heads. Rather than have it surrounded by glass, the architect made two walls sheetrock-with the only glass the framed door used to enter the shower. That makes the sink feel like an alcove and the toilet feel like an alcove. I've seen a few pictures of these pantry-type built-ins, and I am planning to ask my contractor about creating one. (The spot I have in mind is on the outside wall, and this bathroom is on the third story, so I'm not sure how much he can recess it.) The hall bath (which I use as my bathroom) is harder to explain. When you enter, there's a 5 foot whirlpool on your right. The door opens inward and hides a lot of the tub. The tub has a shower but I never use it. The toilet faces the door, but it too feels like it is in an alcove because our house is 18 inches wider where the toilet is. So it has wall on 3 sides and is recessed. The sink is to your left as you face the room-another alcove created by the closet in the next room. Since both of these spaces have alcoves-and I have access to a fabulous custom cabinet maker who did our kitchen a couple of years ago-it would look totally logical to build in vanities. The house is 15 years old but it is a very faithful reproduction of a Craftsman home, I was reading today that Craftsman era homes rarely had vanities (but they did sometimes have recessed storage closets.) If at all possible, I'd like to be faithful to the style, as there are lots of real Craftsman bungalows in my town, but I don't think a vanity that matches all of our other built-in would look too weird. I'm leaning towards spending the money on recessed storage and buying a couple of Kohler pedestal sinks....See MoreNancy in Mich
