I am contemplating this . . . Any thoughts?
Comments (6)There are 2 reviews, both 5 star, this one is interesting - "Beautifully made. Colors are very neutral, but deep. The rug is thick and soft to the touch. The design's grooves makes this rug perfect for picking up debris from shoes."...See MoreWhile Awaiting Plans-Contemplating Kitchen Choices and Colors
Comments (24)Cpartist, I picked up that you were living in Florida. I’m in central Florida. My DH can’t wait for the pool either! The pool/spa bids were waaaaay more than I thought they would be. (We didn’t want a screen initially … but that’s what ya get with two huge trees around. Plus we won’t have to deal with all the bugs and animals!) Several of the pool salesman were just awful to work with. (I got recs from people as well as cold called.) I’m glad we finally found a wonderful company that didn’t jerk me around. Fingers crossed it goes somewhat smoothly!...See MoreContemplative Garden
Comments (5)What a nice project! I like the very healthy look of the plants. Keeping the garden "conscious" is important in my book, and you have achieved this. Some ideas: Add butterfly-attracting plants (unless you are opposed to bees visiting). Establish a place for annuals. Can be small, inexpensive plants about to flower, giving fresh interest each spring. With a variety, something will likely be in bloom. A protected place for bulbs? Plant a tree behind each bench, no matter how small it is to start. Provides an anchor. In for the long haul, promising growth, future, and perhaps flowering. Encourage members to make decorated pavers or other objects. Nothing brings a person back to a place like having their own contribution to visit! If space for this is limited, announce that the object will be on loan for 1-year to the church garden; have a swap-out day and ceremony for everyone's pieces. This will keep them in the artistic process planning their next piece, and the old piece will have been, in a sense, blessed, for return to their own gardens....See MoreNamaste Contemplation Area.
Comments (14)OMG! It’s absolutely beautiful.....so calm and serene......quiet at night where you are. Wish I could visit......you have a wonderful sense of design. I agree with you about both religions. I have practiced meditation and chanting, but have strayed from the practices. I have been wanting an arbor for the property, just not sure where.... maybe In the bed where my Buddha & Shiva statues are..... hmmmmmm. Now you gave me an idea to work on! :-)...See MoreAnnie Deighnaugh
