Comments (2)Without a photo, I'd say it's impossible. But I doubt that people really just know the model names. Is the company still in business?...See MoreCrystal chandelier with Shaker cabinets? Opinions, please!
Comments (9)Cabs help define the room but you're the final boss. Not sure if you've seen my unstained "shaker" red oak cabs. Very affordable. The color is light, the grain is not accentuated, and it's possible to team them with a kind of midcentury-Scand mod look that can work with some oddball touches and it plays well with white appliances. I've got antiques in here but nothing very heavy--it's pretty airy. Light colored semi-transparent curtain fabrics keep the airy tone and we've tried to emphasize spaciousness by avoiding heavy things. The Swedes team chandeliers with modern furniture, but you have to get the ideas put together right. In my world, you mix hand-thrown pottery and old silverplate and white formal tableloths and it seems to work. Botanical and other natural science elements are useful as a tie-in. I would suggest staying with non-mod finishes (lots of wood, metals, classic fabrics and rugs, folksy art touches, downplay plastics and electronics and gizmos and vast expanses of industrial surfaces). If you do some research in library and online on "Swedish style" and "Gustavian" and such you will find an aesthetic that allows you to team very plain and Napoleonic together. Katrin Cargill has written or edited a lot of stuff about this. The rough details of real "country" with lots of wood in old Scandinavian rural houses combined with the rest of the gig is nothing but wonderful (in my humble opinion). Modern urban Scandinavians treasure their old stuff but they're terrifically practical people. Even Ikea features affordable twinkly chandeliers and prisms teamed with mod materials and furniture. The logic is that there is so much dark in the winter that you gotta live life now. Also look at real Shaker pieces and at mid-century "Danish modern" for some inspiration. The suggestion to use iron or blackened bronze in a chandelier is a good one. You will find many pieces like that in the gently mod kitchens on the GW. Some are modern takes on the old candleholder chandeliers. One way to gussy up plain "shaker" cabs is to use glass in the middle panel. Depending on your choice you can go modern or very old fashioned and everything in between. One look that will definitely cut the modern look is to install loosely or tightly gathered curtains behind inexpensive plain glass. You choose the fabric, from toile prints to cristp ivory white handkerchief linen to your favorite solid color. Changing them out only requires straight seam sewing and some fabric bought on sale. The cabs are mere backdrops. You only need to do this to a couple cab doors to reap the benefits. I've done a quick search for examples of kitchens in Scand/Swedish style but most show painted cabs. Here's one set of images, but it's pretty cutesy/femmy/painted antiquey... http://belgianpearls.blogspot.com/2010/05/thoughts-about-kitchen-redo-in-swedish.html Go to Amazon and type in Swedish style and you can look at a few pages of some of the books. Same with Google Book Search. Here is a link that might be useful:...See Moreseeds from china fake or real?
Comments (16)I bought some epiphyllum cactus seeds from aliexpress and planted them right away. The seedlings came out fast---they did sprout BUT they are not epiphyllum cactus. They look totally different from what the epiphyllum seedlings are supposed to look like but the seeds I bought from Aliexpress look very similar to the real one. I contacted the seller asking her what was going on and I have pictures to prove it. she played dumb. At first, she gave me her email address and said ok . After I sent her those fake seedling pictures and what really seedling pictures, she never answered my email. So I gave her a bad review. The 1st picture shows what the real epi seedlings look like and the 2nd one is from the seeds I bought from Aliexpress, they all came out something else. No money back of course. It is not all about money, I spent time and passion on it. Just waste your time and money on this website....See MoreHigh End Chandeliers and how to sell them
