My cabinets are IN! (I'm almost ready to be excited again)
Comments (26)How exciting, on all counts. Hopefully, the kitchen will come together soon and you can enjoy your home. Sorry to hear DS has not been feeling well, hope he's better now. He's such a cutie. You are such a patient, kind mother, and he reflects the love and security he feels. (My DGS has been sick with rotavirus - finally getting better, but it's been hard on his mom, she's 9 months pregnant.) You are certainly keeping busy, now with the adoption, too. I was adopted 61 years ago, and I've had a wonderful life. DS will make a wonderful big brother. Barb...See MoreSo I'm thinking of changing my mind... again...
Comments (12)I really do like how bright it made that area look. I like it with the floor (which we both just love). I'm concerned that wood will look too "woody" traditional with the floor and table. Also, I thought it might be a good backdrop for the granite and backsplash which I have all along been coveting as my potential stars. Again... I can tell DH is not convinced. Not objecting, but I feel like it's a big concession for him. He actually values the opinions I get from this forum....See MoreI love my cats, I love my cats, I'm going to strangle my cats
Comments (35)I feel for you bpath. They can be such little stinks. Some of by cats never scratched a thing, but into adorable Siamese tore into everything. I tried catnip on scratch posts, catnip on cardboard -- you name it. I see a couple of solutions. Along the artsy lines, you could take some strands of yarn and attach them to a sort of header to hold them together and then I fix that to the areas that are already gobstoppers (I spoke the word gouged up, but out came gob stoppers – whatever they are). Then the cats can just enjoy the rest of their days playing with already cut sections of yarn and he could be a conversation piece. Yes, another conversation piece. Or you can take something like plaster of Paris or wax and form a sort of shell over that area - like a cast, but in color. You can paint it or add different colors of wax or clay. I just saw one of these amaryllis bulbs in a clay-like "pot" molded over the bulb. It looked great. I bet something like that could actually look kind of cool along the edge of your couch -- like a molded pottery patch. Then there is another solution....See MoreLeathered quartzite Taj Mahal
Comments (19)We have quite a lot of Taj Mahal. It took 3 years for our home to be completed and we just moved in 4 weeks ago. I have leathered Taj in my laundry room, working pantry and my kitchen. I also put Taj Mahal, not leathered, in our master bathroom. I love it. We did a different Quartzite in the guest baths, powder room and and on our two fireplace surrounds. So far, so good. I am careful with it, but not any more so than I always was with my choices of granite, in the past. Best of luck to you on your decision❣️...See MoreCheryl BKaun
