Help me plan my yellow and orange rose bed!
Comments (46)Thanks Virginia! Yes, I did order Pax last year. It was a bit tiny so I put it in a pot to grow on a bit. Sadly, I'm forgetful when it comes to watering, so it didn't do much all year and is still tiny. I think I'll just put it in the ground this winter. I wonder what your mystery rose is? It's lovely anyway. My camellia hedge is doing well! (Probably because I didn't torture it by putting it in a pot and forgetting to water). It's still not really recognisable as a hedge, more a series of tiny plants doing battle with weeds. But I went with Brushfield's Yellow, which flowers in late winter, so if I'm lucky I might see one or two blooms in a few months :)...See MoreHe Meant Well thread

Comments (40)Oh, Teacats, I understand how you feel.. not just from my own experience but from my mother's also. she gave up a lot of projects in her house to send three of us overseas as exchange students and to help 4 of us with college, starting new homes and various other life events. The thing is, our homes are the places where we live, love and share. They aren't who we are.. they are the shelters to allow us to be who we are. I totally get that there are good days and bad days.. on the bad days it can be far too easy to succumb to negative thinking -- regret, jealousy, resentment. I say celebrate the things that are important to us-- and if we are feeling down on our homes, then move on and celebrate those things our homes make possible! All that said, I must tell you that I have very strong images of your home-- it's absolutely charming and has stuck with me over the years. I love the entrance to your home and I absolutely *must* hang vintage Ouija and game boards in this new house. Diane, thank you so much for your wisdom and experience!! I can totally agree about the freedom that comes with a move to a smaller house-- and the reduced responsibilities (financial and maintenance).. or, I will once I get through the reality of paring down and purging. ;)...See MoreMy little socal Spanish kitchen remodel - before
Comments (69)oldbat2be (I am lol'ing at your user name): Thanks! That isn't actually a grout sample, its a tile. I ended up going with a cream to match the stars. But I think I might do light grey with the white backsplash tile. Haven't yet decided....See Moremmmm12COzone5
