Some ideas please...raised gazebo into a gardeners dream.
Comments (1)Someone told me that if I put plants in there...I would need to add window shades. I never thought of a green house that needed shades. But what do I know....See MorePorch window WeatherMaster Sunspace vs Ez screen vs Eze breeze
Comments (85)I looked at all the vinyl window options and came across energy wise manufacturing out of Schullber, WI. I could not be happier w this product! I have been wanting a screened in porch for many years, but could not justify the cost if it was not used "most" of the year. I live in Richmond, VA where we have mild winters and it is not uncommon to have sunny 60 degree days in Dec/Jan/Feb. These windows create a "greenhouse effect" and allows me to enjoy my screened in porch most of the year. Alot of people thought this idea was crazy - but I am glad I stuck with it and found a company that makes them and was willing to ship them to me. Besides for retaining heat in the winter, I really enjoy the fact that the room stays clean from dust and pollen most of the time. Some people balked at the idea of taking them in and out, and also storing them. But for me it’s worth the trade off. The shipping cost is high ($300.00) especially in my case bc my window openings were SO LARGE (60 X 66). An added bonus is that the shipping container acts as a heavy duty storage container for the windows when not in use. I store the container under my deck. Eugene is a great guy and extremely responsive to his customers! This a unique product and for people who don’t mind the effort, it is the perfect solution to get more use out of a screened in porch. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!...See MoreWould You Like to Share Your Colorful Rooms?
Comments (61)OMG, the deep purple in Annie's library is gorgeous and perfect. And I've always loved her tangerine powder room and the orange in her kitchen. Brave use of two tough colors which turned out perfectly. this is the children's bunk room in my house, but I want to paint the woodwork white and the walls and ceiling BM Lemon Ice, a "lighter" (weight-wise) yello My favorite room in terms of color is my living room...See MoreFixer Upper Lake House
Comments (92)Hi All, So I've now been in our new lake house fixer upper for about a month. I've already provided photos in previous posts. I've really appreciated all your comments, ideas and support. We will be having a new roof (really have to do that immediately for insurance purposes). The exterior of the house will be cleaned up and updated with gray shingles and siding with white trim. (The front gate and arborway have been removed.) The roof will be a darker Landmark Pro pewter. (It's a multidimensional-looking dark gray.) I need to figure out what to do about the chimneys especially the bluish one before the roof is started. The texture looks awful to me. How do you think I should handle that? Wish I could go back to the original chimney, but it doesn't seems as if we can. Just paint it? If so, what color? Whites in FL on the lake kind of get a fungus on it so that could end up looking dirty. Should it be painted gray to blend in with the roof? Ideas about the texture? Should both chimneys match??? Thanks so much. PS: Thus far, the huge conservatory has been taken down. It would have been a fortune to air condition, and its roof partially blocked the lake view. What a stressful ordeal that was (50K lbs of stone and cement), but now we are waiting for sod to put in its place. We were hoping to put in a pool in its place but with supply and demand issues that won't happen for quite awhile. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!! Linda...See MoreV Marks
