The best laid plans of mice and men . . .
Comments (15)Since my DH's first wife died in October 2003, through our marriage in 2006 and even today, DH has piddled with getting rid of his stash of tools up north. Now he is getting down to business, and has made inroads--because I told him I was through waiting on him to get his house ready to sell, and I would NOT go up there any more. So I am surprised and mostly pleased by his activity in that direction. He is an engineer with a tool for every purpose. He also confiscated my PERSONAL tools here in Mobile, and I found them among his out in his garden shed. THAT was a nono, and I started bringing them back. Some of those I kept in a Snoopy yellow plastic lunch box for 30 years, and I depend on them being available quickly when I need a screwdriver or a Vicegrip or a small drill bit. I miss the Snoopy tool box. I think his first wife must have left all tool-associated chores to him, and he does not quite know how to deal with my very independent take-hold do-it-myself history. Heck, when I tore out the bathroom, he should have known I did not wait for anyone to do what I could do for myself! Southern woman I am, but not the helpless variety. More like Steel Magnolia! (one of my favorite movies) So pleased that MamaGoose is on board these days, and Jay, and now that the fall is almost upon us again, maybe there will be a surge of activity on the forum. I really look forward to catching up with what's been going on while I was out gardening for about 4 months. Sometimes we all need to take a break to come back refreshed....See MoreHot mess express needs direction for small townhouse living room
Comments (84)@everdebz thank you! Yes, they are new lamps :) I could remove the martini glasses from above the cabinets; they’re those Lolita hand painted glasses that I’ve collected and have been given as gifts over the years and I’m just not sure where else to go with them?...See MoreHerringbone brick tile - laid wrong way?
Comments (17)I think it’s right because you want to have that direction when you walk in the door. We are going to have that problem with our hallway. The entry and great room will all be correct and going the long way but the hallway will be the short way. Don’t like it but it’s how it has to be. With tile though, if you really wanted the mud room to go the other way you could have had them lay tiles straight in the doorway and then switched directions....See MoreWhat color rug, paint, and wood floors should I use?

Comments (52)You've got some nice wood pieces. Did your father make most all of them? Regarding the paint color. I always feel paint color should be decided once everything is selected. I'm guessing that the Builder has a couple of paint selections that were chosen to go with the finishes that are being offered so if I were you at this point I would make notes as you are doing but wait to see what you select for the other finishes and then see if the Builder's paint colors will work for you. If none of them do, at that point you can determine if you are going to "up-grade" (he may not even offer the opportunity for you to stray from the color choices) or just paint the walls a non-descriptive color and have them painted later with your own painter. When is your meeting at the Design Center?...See MoreMarie Rodriguez
