I spent some time on Houzz this morning poking around and looking at beautiful rooftop gardens. The caption for each is right under the photo. There just might be a rooftop garden (or two) in my immediate future~ Enjoy!

Who’s found Houzz?
I have and I think we’re in trouble here!
Houzz.com is kind of a gathering place for anyone and anything related to design, decorating and gardening. It probably extends beyond that but I’m completely overwhelmed and I’m too lost to explain further.
You can browse rooms; both indoor and outdoor in any style or decorating interest area that you can think of. You can also create your own idea board and look at thousands of others ideas, including designers everywhere. It looks like you can post photos of your project and ask for input from others. You can collect ideas and post them to your idea book, or to pinterest or to facebook or to your blog/website.
It’s madness!
I can easily share things that I find there, here.
Check out these photos of winter arrangements:
and fun garden markers
and beautiful rooms
You can then click on the photo and you’ll land right at the houzz page that I found it on.
Then you can create your own profile and idea board
and we can share, and discuss our projects and ideas
and I may never get another room vacuumed again.
Help!!!
This is so. much. fun!!!
Check it out and follow me and I’ll follow you!
and we’ll all eat take out tonight.
Which White? and a Cute Christmas Theme Change
WordPress just released this cute Christmas/Holiday theme and I couldn’t resist. I had also struggled with the formatting of this post for hours and a few clicks to change the theme solved the whole problem. Talk about a win, win for me…and for you too I hope! In other good news, our sunroom/office project has come along nicely lately…
Here it was a few weeks ago
and here it is now
Again, a few weeks ago (actually this photo is dated September 26th, so quite a few weeks ago)…
and now 🙂
I’m planning to paint it white to pull it together and tone down the effects of the crazy angles and window sizes.
So, which white should I choose?
Navaho white, seems to have some yellow in it..
Antique White, definitely a green undertone…
Off-white, a pink undertone
Linen White, a pink undertone,
I like this one a lot, it reminds me of our first apartment on Derby Street, I had the whole place painted this color, except for the bathroom, which was supposed to be green with white trim, but the NPS decided to paint the trim olive. Eventually I talked them into fixing that, but it took a few years…
Cottage White, this may work, I see some pink here too.
