Villa Brugmansia
When I closed up the house in Connecticut, even though I got rid of a lot of belongings, I brought quite a bit with me. These are items that I may use, such as clothing or furniture, items that needed editing once restoration is complete, such as artwork, lamps, and kitchen utensils, and lots of res...

Re: Gothichome, the restoration of.
Do you paint your storm window frames the same color as the sash? What is your opinion on same vs. different colors?

Re: Thornewood Antics
Yeah, Neighmond, stick around. Ron's getting tired of seeing nothing but my dumpy old house. Let's build this forum back up (I'm sure Phil will return). It was fun and useful not too long ago; it can be again.

Re: Thornewood Antics
On the south side of the house, there are four small windows: dining room and pantry on the first floor (stained glass), and bedroom and bath on the second. I had a feeling the bedroom window was in need of some serious help: 2596 The fire that damaged the sleeping porch and overhang cracked (I susp...

Re: What's happening in your garden?
The nursery puts three plants per pot. I presume that this is for more fullness. In any case, the nurseryman was very proud of his spacing, calling it "perfect." He said that since he's had them across the front of the office, his air conditioning bill is much less. 2594 They also sell crape myrtles...

Re: The devil is in the details, or not.
Nice find, Ron. I've always liked that style of chair, and how interesting to be able to refer to them as "Victorian" in more than one sense. Will they need any repair or other attention?

Re: What's happening in your garden?
My dinner plate hibiscus are going full tilt, very showy flowers. I'd love to see photos of your hibiscus! Here at Thornewood, we've had some unruly behavior from the resident live oak. One thing that attracted me to this house in the first place was this massive tree that shaded the house for half...

Re: Alabamy Bound
I'll scratch it out on the fiddle, but you can trust me when I tell you that you don't want to hear me sing it. I don't have spiders in my bathroom and I'm convinced that it's because I sing in the shower.
