Hi Dax,
We tamed the gh down to 63.3 right now in a major snowstorm. 9-12 inches it is falling so hard the visibility is crap.

Lots of geraniums I have a lot of shade. That is lettuce that I need to pick some out so they have room to grow. Playing on the computer today........ Barb Lets see some pics of your new gh ????

When I was 9 years old, we lived in a house where the brick had been painted a really lovely shade of green that my mom refers to as "celery green". She was disappointed to find out later that subsequent owners had painted the brick white, which did not look nearly as nice.

I think either of the marble lookalike tiles will work to get you the wood and white look you want. The calaccata will just be warmer than the statuario, so it just depends of which you like best. What stain are you putting on your wood vanity? My Dad installed a stained clear alder vanity with a medium stain, and a crisp white quartz counter with no veining. I was helping him and recommended a marble lookalike tile for the floor, but he decided to take it in a warmer direction and went with a light griege-toned floor tile with almost no movement in it. His shower is plain white subway tiles. So he ended up with "wood and white" but didn't do the white floors. Here's his bathrooom: Here's how it would have looked if he did the statuario tile: And here's how it would have looked if he did the calaccata tile: I wanted him to pick the calaccata lookalike tile because I like the warmer look with the wood, and it's a mountain vacation house, so I though the warmer tone fit the house better. I also wanted him to use the same calaccatta, either the 12 x 24s or smaller for the shower walls. But I got overruled on both of those!

I think if you put bookcases on the gray wall, that will really crowd that space and limit the ability to access the closet. I suggest taping an outline of the proposed objects/furniture on the floor and try to maneuver around these outlines to get a sense of proportion. In addition, consider using lighter-colored furniture and avoid plastic storage. Maybe find ways to incorporate that side table by the bed/closet into the proposed bookcase, this would eliminate that piece of furniture. If she needs a place to put stuff by her bed, look into floating shelves or something along those lines, to keep the floor from feeling crowded. Look for ways to remove items, not add them. Personally, I find the room to be very dark, that gray wall and black furniture does not help, but maybe she likes it.

What can I do to make the large space above my garage more attractive?
Q
Comments (5)
first thing I'd do is upgrade your garage door with new window inserts (the arched ones are out) and then paint it. a darker color. maybe something like this w/the carriage hardware (Amazon) and new lights Then you could redo your siding above it in a horizontal, get something darker, and even put in a decorative window. Just doing those three things will make a huge diff this color door would look nice w/your brick, and I like that very dark charcoal in the pic above^ another option is a type of arbor over the door (you could also do a broad/batten type of siding, but still do the window) another one w/window and updated glass in the door you could also do a type of shake. maybe cedar shake for the peak? I think the window would give you the most bang for the buck

Barb, I love looking at your pictures (and maybe it's just my computer) but I cant ever see them unless I click on them because they are thumbnail sized...but when I do click on them, it takes me away from the site and I cant get back unless I type in the addy again!

Does anyone know how she can post bigger pictures? Do you use photobucket? Because if you do, I know how to make them the full screen sized..

I just startd planting some seeds, so I'll be posting updates too someday soon, I hope...

Orchidude, It is called extreme greenhousing.... Lol

I lived in AL and the humidity was so much I couldnt breathe.... Sure was pretty though...

Rjinga I use photobucket but use dial up. I live in the boonies. I post them small cause it would take me all day to post large ones. I dont know why it takes you away. That is strange. Damn snow go away already...... Frozen barb

Rjinga, I use thumbnails too, since the pics load faster for people on dial-up. When you click on the thumbnail, it should open up a new window (on top of the Gardenweb page you're viewing.) When you're done looking, you should just be able to close that window by clicking on the X in the upper right corner, and your previous GardenWeb window should still be sitting there, waiting for you.

At least, that's how it works for me...?

That's how it works for me too mudhouse. I want to ask how you post clickable smaller photo icons? Photobucket has 3 re-sizing options and none do exactly that. So how is this done please? Barb - new thread for ya of course. You musta been reading my mind

After you selected your pictures and selected html codes. Click on the first box and it will say copied. Those are the small pictures.... Hope this helps... Barb

Yup, like Barb says. After I select the photo I want (put the little checkmark in the box under the photo) I go to the lower right corner of the web page and click on the button that says "Generate HTML and IMG code." That brings up a new page of codes to choose from, and the first one is the one that will generate a thumbnail pic (it says "Clickable thumbnails for eBay,LiveJournal, MySpace," etc right above the code.) Click anywhere in the box of code and it will copy it for you.

Barb, please excuse this dumb question from a person who does not live in snow. I see lots of snow on the ground, but very little on your greenhouse roof. Is that because you've cleared it off, or does it just melt off by itself because of your greenhouse heat? Does it ever accumulate up there, as long as your heaters are on?

Sherri,
It was coming down so fast today it did accumalate and came crashing down. I just about s&*t my pants. I was in there when it happened. It usually just melts with the heat from the heater...... Cleaning my drawers right now.... It is loud when it happens... Barb

LOL Barb, thanks for the info, and I'm glad that was all that happened! ;-) I probably would have fainted from the shock of that sudden noise...I'll bet it really rumbles and vibrates the whole greenhouse. I guess extreme greenhousing is not for the faint-of-heart!
