why, oh why, is it so hard??
Comments (2)Yes, Lizalily... I've begun to write down a few thoughts on the subject of mislabeled bulbs, and as I said, with a little more input from the crowd I'll be going for broke! I want it to be a generic letter that can be sent to multiple companies since it's more than one company handing out mislabeled bulbs. It would be helpful to me if everyone would tell me how many bulbs they've gotten that have been either mislabeled or have had health issues, and which companies they've had problems with. I believe I will begin a new thread with this in mind... I think the mislabel problems begin at the grower level and are not really the fault of the retailer or wholesaler, although keeping the proper tags with the proper bulbs ends at the seller level. Most plant material sold in bulk can be ordered with or without tags, and there are separate companies that sell tags. I know this to be true with growers and sellers that deal in annuals and perennials, so I'm assuming it might be the same for bulbs... I'm not certain of this, though. Either way, just our little group of buyers here on the forum adds up to a lot of money spent and a lot of bulbs purchased, and it's not right to pay good money for something and have it not be what was originally ordered!...See Morewhy doesn't GW get rid of the separate galleries?
Comments (3)In some forums, people don't like too many posts with pictures. I can understand this attitude in a forum such as the rose forum, where there are many posts only with garden pictures. Not having the Gallery there would tend to overwhelm the posts that only want info about rose care. However, in most other forums, there aren't that many posts, and posting in the Galleries is almost a waste of time since few people seem to actually view the posts in the Gallery....See MoreKitchen gutted! Why does it seem so small....?
Comments (13)cambro5 - Totally normal to be second guessing yourself from last week (or whenever you scheduled the demo crew) until the day it's "done". bmorepanic - You're absolutely right. Drywall went up, I freaked out about how small it became (granted I closed up a wall to another room that was open). They taped the drywall, I felt better. They mudded and sanded, felt better still. Over the weekend I primed everything and it all felt small and blah again. During the mudding phase I thought I was just getting used to it, but I think you're right about unpainted drywall....See MoreWhy new kitchen layouts are so chopped up?
Comments (26)When we built our current house in 1997, I think we honestly got a bit lucky. This was in the days before the internet had any really useful information, so we basically did the floor plan on our own. We had an "inspiration floorplan", but that was it. No Houzz, no GW (how did we survive LOL!). I distinctly remember towards the end of the build getting a call from DH asking what kind of doorstops I wanted--my response was " seriously, there's a choice? Just pick something!"). Anyway, this discussion about kitchens made me think about our current one, I guess it's kind of a hybrid between an open and closed kitchen. It's on the back corner of the house, so there are only a certain number of ways to access it. But the overall floor plan is pretty open. I know at the time open concepts were gaining in popularity, but I didn't really want to hear kitchen noise if watching a movie/tv. We also wanted a big kitchen--knowing that at any gathering people end up in the kitchen--no matter what the size. So we built a big one that can accommodate a couple of loveseats in addition to table seating and bar stools at the island. We have absolutely loved this kitchen layout. Based on what I know now from GW, there are a few things I'd do differently, but not much! I'm attaching a not-to-scale layout, in case anyone's interested. The back "wall" of the kitchen is all tall windows that go almost to the floor. The side next to the kitchen table has the same windows, up to where the kitchen counters start. Sink over window looking out to where the playset use to be. The island is large (about 9.5 x 5). It's been great for us. I hope this is useful to some of you!...See MoreKerry Roper
