Display house numbers for emergency/ decorative?
Comments (13)I think your idea of displaying clearly is a good one GPS has its limitations especially if you live in a private road or a place that the GPS gets confused at! the last 2 houses I had, where both on private roads with 4 and 6 other houses, the houses just didn't show up on GPS the road did leading to them which was part of the address, in the first house it was me ringing the emergancy services alot as my dad was ill and I used to have to run out of the house down the road across a parking lot to stand at the end of the road waiting for the ambulance, the next house, I no longer had to do that as my dad had died, but the house at the end had the same problem elderly father who was ill, I was the first house there and if I saw them doing the same vigil I had to do, I would offer to stand there so they could get back, eventually their son built a brilliant sign which looked like and olde worlde, English Pub sign with the names of all the houses on it (no numbers in that village so double confusion!) worked a treat. If you are artistic you could do a really cool picture and put a light over it at night. just a thought....See MoreLooking for a small tabletop display case
Comments (20)Blfenton, yes, I make them. Thanks! I think they're cool too. :) Basket weaving is one of my hobbies... I weave everything from traditional homegrown willow down to miniatures in waxed linen. But I can only make one or two minis a year, so I don't need a huge display case. My largest minis are less than 3" in any direction, and some are much smaller... Less than 1". ljwrar, Thank you. That's a pretty case and the lock feature is good (and bad. Lol.) I was hoping to find something under $100, and custom made is probably my best bet, but I'm only guessing on what the ideal dimensions would be....See MoreUpdated home office - need help with displaying diplomas
Comments (8)The taped out grouping looks very lopsided to me. Is it the camera angle? Guests will sleep more securely and get better rest if the bed is situated where they can raise their head and look directly at the entry door. If everything can fit, I would move the bed where the ladder rack is, and put the desk where you now have the headboard. This will enable you to leave space for getting behind the bed to clean and to make it up. The longer length of wall between the door and the window wall will make it seem more roomy. You can then put your diplomas and shelf on that wall, with the shelf hung 5' above the floor. Place the ladder rack left of the window. Use inside mounted shades or blinds so your pretty window frame will show; your paint colors are great!...See MoreA home as display space
Comments (60)Interesting in that I am right now reading a book written by the woman who ran the B&B we just visited. It's a memoir of her experiences and also tips for anyone considering doing it. One of the pluses she mentioned about running a B&B was that it gave you an opportunity to let your creativity and decorating juices run free with decorating the rooms (within reason and she outlines some things that won't fly that she learned along the way). BTW, the B&B was full of collectables, which I loved. The woman had been an antiques dealer and furnished the place with all second hand eclectic stuff. I loved, loved the place but I know some would find it cluttered. She collected antique toys from the 50's. I loved seeing them all around the place but I am a kid at heart. The room was quiet and comfortable, the location excellent, and the food was fantastic, so I had no complaints. In the memoir she says that for her running a B&B is fun (they are almost always booked full up due to their location) but it's not a big money maker. It was something she and her husband did after the kids flew the coop and they already had retired from their first round of careers as college administrators. I have another family friend who ran a B&B for a couple of decades, she and her Mom always had fun decorating the place, which they redid every so often to keep it looking "fresh." But it is a tight market and AirBnB and the like are cutting into it....See MoreAlice Edwards
