too much time spent researching sconces
hi, we are going to be replacing and updating the two columns with two square columns, but I cannot decide on the sconces. We are going to replace the sconces by the garage and front door to something more updated. I am spending way too much time researching this does anyone have any recommendations for these 4 sconces? I need to just purchase something and move on

Not much time for research for W/D
Comments (26)@ annie1971 I don't mean any offense, but why did you have such a reaction to dianne47's comments? Look at what you said in your original post... "My Kenmore Elite FL washer (about 7 years old) is scaring me." "it sounds like it's going to spin through the roof, leaving all kinds of metal pieces behind." "I'm a laundry room snob and must have matching W/D, even though the drier is doing well." Given the alarming, dramatic statements you made originally, and assuming they are true, I would have to concur with dianne47. If the machine is in such bad shape, you are taking extraordinary risks with your family's safety by continuing to use such a machine. Also, the reason dianne47 told you to put your current dryer on Craigslist was because you were the one who stated that you were a laundry snob and must have a matching washer/dryer pair. But when someone says something you don't agree with, you get snippy. I think everyone is here trying to offer helpful suggestions, even dianne47. If the situation isn't as dire as it would appear, maybe next time you can choose your adjectives more wisely and use less colorful language to describe your situation more accurately....See MoreCan you spend too much time interacting w/ your children?
Comments (54)They are much safer in a stroller. Some people use those baby leashes, but that would be much harder with two of them running in different directions. I agree that they are too young to toilet train - and it's not like you could let them go to the bathroom unsupervised anyway, unless you wanted to fish toy trucks out of the toilet. Is there any reason to think that they may have any mild developmental or speech delays? Your town should have screenings for anyone at risk - and merely being a multiple would be considered at risk most places. The preschooler of someone in my town was able to go to a special needs/integrated preschool, and I think the basis for that was not a disability but rather because his father had died, leaving his wife with three kids under 4 and one on the way. I think the little boy was considered socially at risk. My daughter attended the same preschool, due to her language delays, and it was a good experience for her. Door-to-door transportation, in a van with car seats and seat belts, was provided....See MoreYou know you're spending too much time on GW when...
Comments (88)"DD's theory is that due to the global financial crisis, fashion has come to a grinding halt. Nothing new. So the trend lag between here and Europe has collapsed and we're seeing the same stuff everywhere. This is from my 16 y.o. fashion analyst! :-)" Out of the mouths of babes... The Italians are over, this week, and are doing all they can to help the American economy. They came with huge lists from their family and friends. It's all Abercrombie & Fitch. That brand has taken Italy by storm, maybe the rest of Europe, too. They used to buy only Polo. I guess the lines at their stores go on forever and the prices are absurd. With the exchange rate...they're in heaven. We had a dinner last night and I forgot to ask what Italian brand was hot now. Last time it was Roberto Cavalli but his things are way too young for me. I'll stick with Armani if I'm still alive to see the dollar reign, once more....See MoreHow much time do you spend researching your projects? - X- Post
Comments (29)My DH says I take WAY too much time making the decisions I have to make with our house projects. I'm the sole researcher, designer, planner and a co-hands-on executor (with DH) of our DIY building projects. It took us 5 years to do this last house. Plan, design, and contract the build. I designed and had a draftsman draw prints. I was the chick with the clipboard until the rockers left. From drywall on it has primarily been just the two of us. He has a full time job that is not building. We have made a good team, in that he has the expertise- I have the vision. We have put in countless hours making the decisions that go into these projects. Thankfully I found GW early on with researching windows. Google has led me to GW on numerous topics, which answered most of the trying technical issues. I usually only post when I get really stuck and need outside input and opinions. Mostly on decorating questions...;) IDK -- is 5 years too long to come up with a house from scratch? DIY? I have no idea; I do know my DH thought I belabored the process. As in it was a huge issue- how long I would take. But it was lots of design as you go stuff. However he is happy with the result....See Moreginamuto
last yearYes I meant the wrought iron. I did plan on painting the shutters front door and possibly garage area this Carolina Gull color from BM. Any thoughts on that?

last yearI like the Carolina Gull color, but you really need to replace your front door and garage doors to get rid of the faux paneling effect. Look for something that has a row of windows across the top.

last yearalso that green would just make the roof more predominant, so I would not do that. I would remove the shutters, at least from that bay window. do not put columns put posts. paint the front door a classic black or something dark that pops. give your house and roof a power wash.

last yearThank you for the recommendations! Are you suggesting pulling that white paneling off above and in between the garage doors? You mentioned pulling off the panels on the current door and fill the holes. The door is solid with the decorative trim. Looks like the decorative trim on the face of the garage matches the front door. Can you clarify your recommendations for this eye site of a garage

last yearThanks for the recommendations. We were also debating this color scheme not sure if this could work with our house? What are the thoughts on this? We are also doing landscaping and new windows but not until fall.
