McCain picked Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin as his VP candidate. She's a great addition to the team.

I love looking at everyone's pics here and I love that so many folks share them, so I thought I'd share mine! Newly done, very old home (1926). I wanted an old-and-new feel and well, IMHO, I feel I have it... the old feel was mostly achieved with the tumbled marble tiled backsplash that I had done up, inside and all around the large window over the sink. After it was all completed, I debated ...

After getting back some very high quotes for my original slab granite selection, I'm starting to take a look at prefab granite. I was pleasantly surprised by the selection available and the savings is significant. Other than the limited selection of colors and edges are there any downsides to using this? It seems like they do all the cutting on site instead of templating ahead of time. Does ...

I am trying to form an opinion re Sarah Palin. I admit that I do not know lots about politics (science person) but I am learning. I would surely love to hear any facts/opinions from folks who live in AK regarding Ms Palin. I frankly do not always trust the "press" and like to hear from people who are close to the topic. Thank you for your responses.

Sorry this ended up so long I live in a house that was built in 1960. Almost all of the receptacles have 2-prong outlets except for those in a former patio that was converted to a family room we think in the 70's and the outlets in the bathroom. I have always assumed that the whole house was not grounded - just the family room when it was added - and that the outlets in the bathroom were ...

Hi, My neverending quest (feels like a lifetime) to find a good paint combination for my two girls has lead me to these colors. We're set on BM Palladian Blue for DD(16)'s & some shade of pink for younger DD(10)'s room. They share a Jack-N-Jill bathroom and I wanted a color that would compliment both rooms. The paint manager of our local BM dealer (took pity on me or maybe just tired of seeing ...

I'm going to go pick out my flooring for the bathrooms and the laundry room this weekend and I would really like some feedback from all of you on this subject. I'm going with ceramic tile in the bathrooms but I'm kind of hung up on the laundry room. It is located right next to where we enter the house from the garage and DH must walk through it to access his private bathroom - he is a farmer/...

Anyone ever feel that way? DH has been gone most of this week working, and while he calls me every am & pm I feel very disconnected from him emotionally. It's nothing I've done intentionally or consciously, it just kind of happened. He, SS29 7 te G-Son are on the way home now.I don't "feel" anything but dread that the house will be noisy & messy etc. I should be happy to see DH, I'm not ...

I am going to put my pantry in a 4 foot wide space, 24 inches deep. I have never been completely sold on the idea of the pull-out shelves for the pantry as I feel like I'm looking down on the top of things more than looking right at them. So I'm wondering how it might work to put narrow (maybe 10 or 12 inch deep?) fixed shelving in the pantry...I would love your feedback on this idea--...

Please allow me to apologize for the long post, but if you read it you can see that I am really in a quandry! I have a lot of questions! (I am posting this in the kitchen forum rather than the flooring forum. My reason is because this flooring is for our kitchen - and I'd like to hear specifically from people who have new floors in their new kitchens). Long story (rather not get into the ...

Wow, never saw that one coming.

Bought a couple lamps for on the buffet. (*notes - mirror still not up but will be hopefully soon. Paint will be sometime soon. Going to buy a rug. Main color will probably be black. Unsure of size) Don't think this Tiffany lamps works at all. May keep it for the one end table in the LR. This isn't working for me either. I was trying to bring the silver/pewter color to the buffet ...

I looked up various public universities in different states and average tuition and fees without cost of living is at least 11K per 2 semesters (I do not count books that are very expensive and school supplies). So it is at least about 1000 a month. So you are telling me that a young high school graduate, who lives completely on his/her own) has minimum extra 1000 a month (after paying for actual...

for guest room. Here are different colors on the bed in the guest bedroom. I've wrapped fabric around an existing pillow, but the designs may be "off" since I didn't do so to best showcase them (dumb), but they do give you an idea of color, etc. Remember: walls will be a warm ivory. Questions: a)Which do you think would be best? Combination is also possible, of course. b)I also think I ...
