Would you hang these together, near each other, or just NO?
I'm hanging random art and reclaiming closet space. These 2 things have nothing in common except that they represent boats and are the same size. Would it be stupid to put them one above the other? (If so, which goes on top? Portrait or landscape?) I'm not trying to be cutesy with a boat theme. I just don't have a lot of small wall decor.
Just looking at them, I get the feeling that they don't like each other...whatcha think? Do I need to keep them apart? Thanks!

last yearlast modified: last yearI do like them together. And I think they like each other. Either placement idea would work.
.IMO you need to change all your light bulbs to 4000 LEDs so the colors show true and there's no gold or yellow which IMO is the color of the devil.

Planting Iris Near Other Plants
Comments (2)Hi Iris_Gal! Thank you for the information on the iris. I'd probably need to be on the lookout for the grevillea. I've been told that the type I have would maintain a height of 12" to 15", but it can spread to 5'. The salvia would maintain it's height and width of 18". And the euphorbia would keep at the same size as the salvia. Shade coming from any of the plants I have previously mentioned will present no problems. They are all along the western side of this fence. (My fence runs north to south.) I will be placing my iris on the eastern side of this fence. It stays bright in my yard for as long as the sun is up. Again, thank you for the information on pointing the rhizome fans away from the fence and keeping a 6" space by the fence. Sincerely, mbluetyphoon...See MoreWould you buy a house near a cemetery?
Comments (107)My daughter's house backs up to a national cemetery - a VERY small national cemetery, in which a long-ago KY native President is buried. The entire neighborhood was once part of his family farm, Springfield. The family home (now privately owned) is around the corner from DD's house. The cemetery is surrounded on three sides by houses, and on the 4th by a busy road. On all sides, there is a beautiful old stone wall that is about 4 1/2 ft tall and 2 ft thick. What a gift! A wall like that would cost a fortune today! In a national cemetery, all the headstones are the same simple marble markers. To see rows and rows of these, is very lovely and very moving. My grandsons have always played in the cemetery, climbing over the wall. When they were little, my daughter had Easter egg hunts there. She asked me if I thought it was disrespectful, and I said if I were buried there, I could think of nothing lovelier than happy children, gleefully hunting eggs on Easter. None of the houses surrounding this small cemetery have ever been hard to sell. Most people adore the stone wall, and like the quiet as well. Kind of nice to not have noisy neighbors behind one!...See MoreJust how long do you "know" each other?
Comments (72)Hello, and welcome, Iris! I am Tami in north central, snowy, Ohio. I have no idea exactly when I started here, but I am guessing around 1998. Soon after DH finally broke down and we got the internet! I started looking for crochet patterns, and lots of recipes, (and I hate to cook!), so I found the crochet forum, then the crafts and dec forum, and someone mentioned the KT, and I was hooked. I tend to be MIA a lot anymore, as I get distracted with a knitting forum on another site, also like family to me, and RVing. I have been a stay at home mom of 2, DD is almost 34, with a boy and a girl, and DS who is 30, with 2 boys. DH is still working, though we hope in a couple of years the he will retire and we will go full time in the RV. I am 58. We have been married for 35 years, but are high school sweet hearts, and dated for 8 years before we got married. We had a basset shepherd when we married, until 1994, then various gerbils, and a newt or 2, before DD talked us into a bunny. Sunflower bunny passed in 2002, and we were petless for 2 years before DD talked me into letting her get her dad a new bunny for his birthday. Sonny bunny was a one person bunny. DD is a photographer, and at the time, was photographer for Pet Smart and Petco in our area. She called one morning to say that her baby bunny's mom was up for adoption. I knew she would end up taking Sydney home, so I said if her dad was ok with it, we would take her. We got them both fixed, and those 2 were as close as they could get to each other until the day Sydney passed. Sonny lived about another year. We now have 2 more, brother and sister, Hoover and Dyson! They are about 2 years old now. You will rarely find me without knitting needles in my hands. Or a book!...See MoreWould you buy a home near a lot of pot dispensaries
Comments (22)Having been through a house hunting phase that lasted, on and off, for 4 years and intensively for 2, I can only say that you need to be very clear about your objectives. It has to be more than just getting away from where you are: it has to be about what what you are moving towards. In our case we were very clear that, as we hit the senior years, we needed to move somewhere that had better health and social services than the beautiful but remote little village we were living in. We also wanted to be close to supermarkets and shops because we knew we wouldn't be driving forever. We looked at housing in 8 or 10 towns, getting a "feel" for each, over about a two year period. We finally made the decision to focus on one particular area, a strip of small towns about an hour from a major city. Add a further two years of househunting in that area until we found a property that ticked all our major boxes - single story, walking distance to everything we would need for daily living, close to doctors, dentists, physios, etc. Perfect? No. There were properties a bit further out that were more attractive, but we never lost sight of the proximity objective. The point here is that you and your spouse need to be on the same page about what you intend to achieve with this move. Better opportunities for your son should be top of the list. Presumably, employment possibilities for yourself and your husband would be right up there as well. If the place can't deliver those (poor schools, no jobs) eliminate it. Don't get distracted by pretty houses or low prices if neither will achieve your primary goals....See More

last yearThe frames are too different. Don't get the same ones exactly, but see how much better they look together when the frames are the same style? (I like the fancy ones better here.)
Is the one on the right prefab? It wouldn't hurt to try a new one.

last yearHere is the boat they would be by, except I don't think I'll be putting them there. (This boat is about an inch long on a 3'x4' screen.) Way too theme-y. You organize one space, everyone expects organization everywhere.

last yearlast modified: last yearFori, could you find a blue frame for the print, perhaps with a gold-ish or brass filet around the inside perimeter of the frame? Or perhaps a blue frame with a portion of the profile edged in gold leaf? Or a darker gold frame with a portion of the frame profile in antiqued blue?
I don’t think this is a question of ”use them or not?” It could be a ”how can I use them?” question. Since I don’t think the print is framed to its advantage (black is always the defsult but IMO rarely a good choice) that seems a good place to start.
Not this per se, but you get the idea, gold frame with blue and gold bead filet.
This one is more suited to a print and is available in a variety of sizes on etsy:
The houzz site will not allow me to paste an etsy link. it was the first image when i googled images for:painting frame blue and gold
