Comments (13)Jay, if you click photo, it will take you to your downloads; if you click Houzz photos, it will take you to the ideabooks within houzz. To use photos from ideabook, you will first need to create ideabooks and upload photos there. The reason why your photos uploaded directly from your downloads folder on your computer or phone do not show up after you have chosen them for adding to the post is that they may be a size too big for houzz. Thus issue is resolved via ideabooks at times because I think it tells you the pic is too big to upload when you are uploading on to the ideabook. Either way, the solution is to somehow reduce the size of your photos before uploading on houzz ideabook or directly in a post. I hope this helps....See More2024 Spring Swap - Saturday May 4, 2024

Comments (33)I was quite an angry person this morning, and needed some constructive destruction. Two garden beds completely stripped of all weeds and clean. After that I felt much better as I planted in a bunch of borage and peppers. I thinned out the bulb fennel and culled down the bronze fennel. Celery needs it's first cutting, but I wanted to wait till after the rain tomorrow so it's nicely juiced up. The sea kale is in beautiful bloom, and a few other brassicas are almost done blooming and some starting to seed. Snapdragons and dianthus self-sowns are looking plush and starting to bud up for blooms. I seriously need to weed the kennel beds. The garlic should get fed, the empty greens slots filled... waiting on a container of miners lettuce to finish going to seed for that. Beans are almost ready to get transplanted in. I also need to get the last wall up on the potato bins so I can put the last leaf pack in. Dang things are growing like crazy in the good weather we have been having. Most of the greenhouse caps are now stored away, got one more to take down and stow. Been leaving the mini-greenhouses up because of all the rain, wanted to keep the little pots from drowning. Now a couple of them are empty, and on to one more before I can finish the summer setup for the container garden....See MoreIt's May 2024. How is your build going?
Comments (57)@Chandllerin I love your home, all of your choices, and your view. Everything is gorgeous. I'm sorry you are not able to get right in there and start enjoying it all, but you've made it this far!! Congratulations. You will be in before the new school year! @2rickies I love both chandeliers, especially the bubbly one. Glass, to me, tends to melt into setting more than metal/wood. It says, ooo look at me, but then forget I'm there. I learned that when updating our current home's foyer light. The wooden lantern-style replacement is great, but it really commands the room, and underscores an uneveness in placement I had never noticed when the chandelier was glass. Luckily, we are only updating to sell this house-I may change it back to the former one. Your leafy choice is beautiful too, but I must tell you, my Dh and I fell in love with a different leafy one 2 years ago and finally installed it in the new build this year. He still likes it, and it gets compliments, but I think it is all wrong for our design; sooner than later I will replace it. It just stands right out, and annoys me. See if you can photoshop your choices into pictures from all angles of your space (unless you can buy each, "pretend hang" and take back easily.) My issue with mine, it does not play well with my furniture or my other lights, etc. On design boards, it did. If I had a picture of mine right now, I'd share. But you know, I'm 6 hours away from build...I will try to get someone to do it, if you need....See MoreMarkay MD-Zone 7A (8A on new map)
