Comments (2)I am so excited for you!!..A lot of people give up on Clematis because they don't have the proper information on what to do with them...These forums are wonderful for that...for if we have knowledge we have the bloomin' power..lol....Jeanne...See MoreReviving thoughts on Viking Ovens
Comments (11)When I bought the oven I felt it was very heavy duty including the racks. Unfortunately, the performance was tragic. The racks and the side racks are very heavy and required soaking and scrubbing. They looked great but lifting and moving them was another matter. Also, it was a self-clean oven and the front third of the oven didn't get clean. The temperature was not stable. The oven had multiple and long term issues and they bought it back. I had a Viking kitchen -- the refrigerator is fine and the cooktop is very good. The hood is noisy and there is a buzz that cannot be removed but it looks good and functions efficiently. I'm not bashing them but the oven wasn't good and I can't in all honesty recommend it to anyone. It was replaced with a Miele in which, I admit, the racks look a trifle flimsy. But there is a universe of difference in the performance (I'm not current on price). The racks clean up easily, I didn't get self-clean and the oven cleans up more easily than the previous one. The Viking oven doesn't compare to the Miele IMHO. I would recommend the Viking smoothtop and even the refrigerator but not the hood or the oven. They have improved the quality of their service since I purchased my appliances. If you want to spend less than the Viking the Miele may not be for you. I'd consider GE and Fisher & Paykel -- very positive reports on those here....See MoreSubway tile: spacing (grout width) and offset
Comments (60)We went with 1/8” spacing for all tiles. It was definitely the right choice. The subway tiles are also handmade, so I think putting them closer together would have been a bad idea (even though subway tiles are often placed much closer together). Also, there is coherence I’m having all the spacing the same. We ended up using the same spacing in the other bathroom we remodeled. I think it looks period-appropriate for a 1920’s house. Sorry I have been delinquent posting pics of the finished bathroom! We just have had so much work going on in our house....See MoreSan Francisco Tudor Revival mansion on market $28M
Comments (6)I looked at the listing on Zillow, thinking it might show kitchen and baths, but it didn't. Hmmm. The floor plans are on there, and the baths are all pretty small, so perhaps that's why. The kitchen is a modest size as well, and a bit isolated from the rest of the house....See MoreJilly
