Obsessed With Skirts
Comments (10)I have several perennials or subshrubs that keep their foliage all winter and don't die back until the new foliage is well established: some of my coral bells/Heuchera, Perennial candytuft/Iberis, cranberry/Vaccinium macrocarpon, periwinkle/Vinca (though I don't know if you would want to put any of that in your garden!), Carex (when the voles don't decimate them), Heath/Erica, and Heather/Calluna. Is creeping rosemary hardy for you or would you be willing to plant it as an early to camouflage the feet of your pedestals? Some of the lower growing lavenders might work also. I also wondered if you have thought about some of the low-growing shrubs like Rhododendron impeditum, 'Ramapo' or 'Purple Gem' or some of the creeping junipers....See MoreAnyone using Kensington Brick by Cherokee Brick & Tile?
Comments (0)My rep from Jenkins brick co talked to me about this one today. He doesn't know of a house I can look at with it though. Any pics would be appreciated. Thanks!...See Moreanyone use brick-anew to paint brick?
Comments (5)Hi Venus - I thought I made a posting to you last week - but I guess it didn't go through. I've used Brick-Anew on a couple of fireplaces with good success. It was easy to use with great results. I think the best thing was that it came out looking like real brick. They have some good before after pictures on their website - see link. Let me know if you have any other questions. Overall I would say that if you have an ugly fireplace it is a great solution and a lot easier than other remodeling options. Here is a link that might be useful: Fireplace pictures...See MoreSourcing used brick to match existing brick
Comments (2)I have no idea how you'd fine actual used brick in decent quantities but you can do okay with new brick...we were able to find an acceptable match for our '50s "used" brick from McNear. They aren't quite local to you like they are me, but you can probably find a local retailer.Y ou might need to mix a few colors. I wouldn't go with actual used brick unless you found a perfect match....See Morerosaprimula
