Suzanne Etienne Ok! Now i see one of my paintings...woman with hens! House beautiful BTW!

Jennifer Hodges Oops! Sorry about that Suzanne! Yes, Nicole's is over the fireplace and yours is in the kitchen. Love them both and they ALWAYS get switched around too! :)

decoratemeplease I've been growing basil for years and my kids just eat the leaves right off the stem. However, over the past 5 years I've noticed that the basil is extremely bitter, no matter where I purchase it. It tastes great the first few weeks but then is completely inedible. Any suggestions?

Archevie Design As someone above mentioned, in really sunny places like Colorado, you'll have better luck giving basil some shade in the middle of the day.

merrigay Loved these. Does anyone know or have a guess as to the specific colors used on the southwest wall in #11? I'd love to do something similar on my front door.

Sheila Schmitz Merrigay, click on that picture, you'll see a tag for one of those colors; then you can click on the tag for the info!

Kitchen Liberty Theme my friends. That is what separates this project from so many other weekend getaways. They had the guts to pick a theme and carry it through to completion. Those of us old enough (fortunate enough) to have been to a summer camp are in on the joke. It's a hoot. You grab a beer and a plate of hummus or whatever and escape with your besties. Try a theme. Daring draws criticism, but it gets you everything good!

julie77777 Really love a lot of the inside of the main house (but it's not something I would do for myself).... however, having a communal bathroom for all guests (and it sounds likey often have a lot of them at once) is really unappealing to me, personally. As someone else mentioned, I am totally shocked that they didn't at least put a little powder room on the main floor. Would be nice to have that kind of $$ to put into a second home / retreat; I am sure many of you can agree with that! Quite a place!

mmsalg There is so much that can be done with recycled glass. Check it out: http://custm.co/hz/159

jacksonbeth I really like the look of recycled glass countertops.. I just did my countertops with Web Don's line from GEOS, very beautiful, highly recommended.

getting1 To cdg4ahappyhojme - if their are kitchen supply places in your town, I'd contact them for the refinishing of your sink. If they can't do it themselves, they should know who can. They might be able to tell you who's the best too. Good luck.

getting1 As for the tiles sink, I'd think if it had epoxy grout it would be a lot more sanitary. It doesn't need to be resealed but I'd go over it with a scrub brush to clean it so food particles don't stick in the grout lines. I know it would take a little more to keep up but some tiles are so beautiful. Maybe for a bar type sink that doesn't get so much use. Not for all the dish washing and food prep I do.

pamsie Wonderful chairs. Bought mine from an Amish Outlet store in western NY. Made in Lancaster County, PA, they are hundreds of $$ less than other companies. They are made out of recycled milk cartons and have a 20 yr warranty. Even my sister-in-law who has trouble walking and arthritis could sit in them with a lumbar pillow and they are stable enough to withstand high winds. Hard for me to close only 4 colors!
