short: A good dream for ordinary or poor men, meaning victory, the settlement of debts, and relief, especially if it had been done to perform a pilgrimage.

Guild of the Electrum Star: Adventure 1 OOC
Welcome to the Scales of War! This is a 4th Edition Adventure Path set in the Forgotten Realms. Please take time to review the background information and posting guidelines. Wiki Info: http://scalesofwar4th.pbworks.com/Character-Creation
Instead of using the "Welcome" thread, or starting new threads for each subject, or cluttering up the game thread with a bunch of questions, we'll start a new thread specifically for that purpose. Should have done it awhile back. I'll title it after the group, half of you aren't part of the group yet, but eventually you'll all become part of the Guild. Of course you can still ask questions in your private thread if need be (or here using the private feature).
You can also test the sheet dice and sheet roll commands. Once your character sheet is added to the game, you can use those commands.

For What It's Worth
Emphasis remains on value and quality in furniture purchases
The economy has many consumers proceeding a bit more cautiously, yet shoppers are still in the market to update their homes. Most remain very value conscious as they make big-ticket decisions. So instead of searching for the lowest prices, most buyers are shopping for the best values—and of course they want things to look good, too.
So it's all about shopping smart so you find the best quality, the best construction, the best style, the best look—really, the best value—for your money. "People will still spend money on something if they know it's a quality item that's going to last," says Kris Wilke, manager of The Stool Store.
That is why many furniture retailers, including Woodworks manager Kelly Hofmeister, consider furniture an investment. Purchasing decisions should be made carefully and thoughtfully, and shoppers should strive to buy the best quality they can. You certainly don't have to buy the most expensive thing out there, but if you buy the cheapest you'll probably end up replacing it in a few years.
"You really do get what you pay for," Hofmeister says. "There is a lot of really stylish, beautiful furniture out there that, upon closer inspection, is substandard in construction, materials and finish."
Price offers some indication of quality, but it's not safe to assume that the most expensive piece of furniture is the best. And if you're prepared to pay top dollar for furniture that will last a lifetime, you want to make sure that you're really going to get it.
Brad Stevens, owner of Stevens Design, which deals in Stickley and other North American lines, such as Hickory White, Zimmerman Chair and Virginia Sterling, advises shoppers to do their homework and to spend a lot of time with salespeople before making a purchase. "You need to know your retailer. You need to ask questions," he says. "You need to make sure your designer or salesperson understands the product they're selling. They need to explain construction to customers."
Construction, Hofmeister agrees, is key to quality. She advises shoppers to look at the fit of drawers and open them to ensure that they move smoothly. Upholstered furniture is a little trickier since customers usually can't see what's behind the fabric. "Consumers need to look for solid hardwood framing, coil-spring suspension, fully padded outside arms and backs, and good tailoring," Hofmeister notes.
Some retailers will have frames available for inspection or catalogs with images of frames and their own construction processes. And if your salesperson doesn't offer those kinds of shopping tools to you, be sure to ask for them regardless of how taken you are with the look of a piece. After all, Hofmeister cautions, "the most beautiful fabric in the world won't make up for substandard construction."
Indeed, form is little without function. Jacob Harlow, manager of The Century House, the near west side retailer of mostly Scandinavian and contemporary furnishings, says comfort is as critical to many shoppers as quality and often more important than style. "[Comfort] drives a lot of purchasing decisions," he says.
After all, no one wants to buy a couch for a family room only to discover that the seat is too low and deep or that the cushions are too firm. That is why Stevens urges customers to test run showroom pieces the same way they would use them at home. He advises shoppers to not only sit on sofas but to also take their shoes off and even lie down. "They're buying it once," he explains. "They're buying it for life."
The Stool Store's Wilke agrees that customers should use all tools at their disposal to make the best purchases. She notes that many Stool Store customers are coming in with digital images and even videos of their spaces. "That really allows designers to get a feel for the space and work with them," Wilke says. "It's almost like we're there."
Harlow says The Century House is also embracing new media to help customers get to know the store and its products so they can shop smarter. Facebook and a company blog, for example, have opened up communication lines with customers.
Yet more than anything, Wilke advises shoppers to take their time. Most people aren't going to find exactly what they want on their first trip out, even if they are simply looking for stools. "We show 600 stools in our store. To be a smart shopper, you've got to come in a few times. You've got to narrow your choices down to your top ten and go from there," Wilke says. "It can be overwhelming. A really smart shopper will spend some time."
If you've spent the time, shopped around and you still can't find the style and quality you want on any showroom floor, consider custom furniture. Jeff Hensen, president of Hensen Fine Cabinetry, says his company builds high-end wood furniture at competitive prices. He acknowledges that custom pieces cost more than something from a big box store, but says it's not as much as people expect since there are no middlemen (such as a distributor or separate retailer) involved. You also have more control over the style, materials and construction.
Hensen says he works with clients to make sure they get both the pieces that they want and the function that they need. For bedroom suites he has visited homes to measure rooms, he has built mock-up headboards to showcase sample wood choices and he has shown clients three-dimensional drawings of their furniture in their homes prior to construction. Hensen and the employees who build the furniture even make some of the deliveries. "Everything we do here is try to match up our work with what our customers' desires are," Hensen says.
That kind of service, though, isn't exclusive to furniture makers. For examples, Stevens Design employs its own delivery people instead of using a different service or company. That way Stevens Design employees accompany furniture to customers' homes. For many issues, his employees can perform in the field, Stevens says. As a result, customers don't have to call with requests for service or—worst-case scenario—complaints.
After all, things do go wrong and sometimes even high-quality items break. It's a good reminder to consider warranties and available service prior to purchase so that you know what kind of business you'll be dealing with after the sale.
Hensen Fine Cabinetry, for example, offers a five-year standard warranty on all products and a lifetime warranty on hardware. Yet Hensen encourages customers to call if they have problems even after the warranty period has expired. "We're a family-owned business," Hensen explains, noting that the company tries to work with all customers to resolve problems. "Our name is our label. We have to stand behind it."

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is PACER!
Facts about PACER
- Breed: Chihuahua/Schnauzer (Miniature) Mix
- Color: Black - With Brown, Red, Golden, Orange Or Chestnut
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
PACER's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
"Pacer," a proud and noble Chihuahua/Schnauzer mix, just eight pounds approx 9 mos old, was found in the Montrose area before the holidays. He was wearing a collar but no tags or chip. "Pacer" got his name because he likes to do a little circle dance when he gets excited. He is frisky and loves to run around the back yard, chasing squirrels, and enjoys his visits to the dog park. His foster mom says, despite his pint size, he guards his territory but that he's not a "barker" unless he has a reason to sound an alert. Pacer likes children and shows no sign of aggression. He is being socialized with both small and large dogs. "Pacer" is housebroken and leash trained and knows how to" sit" and "stay." Neutered and fully vetted, and with the cutest swirl of a tail, this little guy is ready to find a "Home, Sweet, Home."
Other Pets at Hearts Unleashed Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
PACER, a Houston Chihuahua/Schnauzer (Miniature) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua/Schnauzer (Miniature) for sale in Houston, or seeking a Chihuahua/Schnauzer (Miniature) dog from a breeder in Houston.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Houston already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Houston breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua/Schnauzer (Miniature) breeders who help with Chihuahua/Schnauzer (Miniature) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Houston paves the way for another one to be saved.

Here you go. Each packet is 3 oz. Unfortunately you can't sub the liquid for dry and vice versa. We have never found a recipe for it that uses anything but the liquid pectins but there is likely one out there somewhere. ;) Dave |
Here is a link that might be useful: Ball Liquid Pectin
Wife says I forgot to mention in the other post that we always double the amount of lemon balm for a stronger infusion and we double the lemon juice too as we like the stronger flavor. And be sure to cook to jell point. ;) Enjoy. Dave |
The bottle of pectin should have some directions on it.. Also, if its expired, it may not give a gel set. |
To answer your question, the liquid used to come in a 6 ounce bottle, but now you get two 3 oz. packets instead. Use both packets for the recipe. |

Thank you! |
I checked back to the old thread and found recipes for both lemon balm and lemon verbena jellies. For those of you who have made these, which do you prefer? |

Capps had driven his Mopar-powered Dodge Charger R/T to five Funny Car semifinal rounds this season but came up short every time.
The drought ended Sunday, when Capps beat Alexis DeJoria to the finish line at the NHRA New England Nationals. It was the second Funny Car win in as many meets for Mopar...

DH finds noise from our range hood to be extremely annoying, so I am trying to find a solution. Putting the motor outside or up the line is not an option.
The reported sones of a given hood surely do not tell the entire story. Would it be significantly quieter to put the venting into a cabinet, or under the cabinet? -- instead of a wall mounted hood? If wall mounted, does the style of the hood matter?
Follow-Up Postings:
A larger fan running at a lower rotational rate so that the blade tip speed is lower should be quieter for the same cfm moved. (Think Casablanca ceiling fan as an extreme example.) Whether a hood that fits is available with this property is a question I can't answer. Modern-Aire may be able to answer. kas |

HUB officials said they need to pay off $1.7 million in loans for necessary improvements, including a million-gallon water tank on McKinney Road and the installation of a new water line across the river next to the Lon Mee Bridge.
The debt payments are about $125,000 a year.

PLATTSBURGH — Libraries across the country are facing a fast-moving world of change, and Plattsburgh Public Library is no different.
But as the Board of Trustees, employees, volunteers and patrons look to the future, they are also looking to the arrival of a new director.
With a decision soon to be made, the two top candidates for the position, Katharine Mosher and Anne de la Chapelle, recently highlighted their goals for the job.
The field of five candidates was narrowed to Mosher and de la Chapelle, both of whom spoke to trustees and community members Monday night, detailing the changing dynamics within libraries, opportunities for change and their strengths for the position.
"Your library has a very strong foundation and a lot to offer," Mosher said as she delved into the organization's strengths and opportunities for growth.
"It's interesting because it's a blend of old and new."
While the Montreal native wouldn't sign on with an agenda of change, Mosher said she is optimistic about helping the library grow and take advantage of opportunities that could help meet the shifting needs of the community.
One idea Mosher presented was to focus more on what she called "maker spaces," latching on to the do-it-yourself movement and offering patrons something new, such as knitting classes or a library farm, like one found at the Northern Onondaga Public Library.
"It's community involvement, which I think is really wonderful. This is the wave of the future, and this is where we are all headed," she told the audience at City Hall.
"There's an opportunity to try something new ... and there's an opportunity to learn and bring things to the community. It's a place to learn, explore and change."
While Mosher focused more on the changing dynamics of libraries and their services, de la Chapelle concentrated on the strength of human interactions in moving the library ahead.
"Basically, the idea is to cultivate relationships to move the organization forward ... and holding the vision and reaching for great service," de la Chapelle said.
"It takes all of the partnerships to make it work."
De la Chapelle said she hoped to lead the library with mission-driven planning when it comes to budgets and services, saying she would "make sure all the decisions are being made for the mission."
Mosher and de la Chapelle also discussed their management styles, experience working with unions and initial impressions of the city library, both stating they remain open to ideas and would lead in a people-friendly approach.
Both candidates hold New York State Public Library certifications.
Mosher is currently a reference librarian at Northern Onondaga Public Library near Syracuse and past library director of the Skaneateles Library Association and at Champlain Regional College-St. Lambert campus in Montreal.
De la Chapelle is the electronic-services and emerging-technologies librarian at Clinton Community College and a past visiting librarian at SUNY Plattsburgh. The Westport native is also currently an adjunct professor at CCC and past library director of the Westport Library Association.

The LRG Summer 2012 lookbook is a vulgar and pumped-up look ahead to the summer months. The skate company unveiled the Summer line with a crew of miscreants, including the cast of Comedy Central's 'Workaholics,' Tommy Sandoval and hip-hop duo the Cool Kids. The team seems to have fallen in the lap of luxury, romping poolside with a bunch of playboy-esque models. While the shots are somewhat derogatory, the boy's nerdy posing and self-deprecating expressions keep the shoot endearing and alluring.
The lookbook exhibits the sweet coming graphics and updated short styles. Favorites include a figure with a middle finger for a head and a character called Street Cheetah. The company website reads, "Summer 2012 is all about beasting out no matter the time or place."

I am planning on being there for the first weekend because Rick McCullum will be there.
my question is: what time do the guests (Peter Mayhew and Rick McCullum) are they out for us to meet? I know they arent there all day so i want to make sure I get there on time to meet them. Also is there a Q&A? I will be attending Film School in the fall so as you could imagine i have some questions I would like to ask Mr. McCullum about the field of work and working with Lucas since the very beginning.
so if anyone can answer these questions i would really appreciate it.

Each semester more and more interns pass through the halls of Cherry Hall. Being an intern is a great opportunity not only to the student, but also to get in some networking for your resume. Remember that internships are always available each semester so even if you didn't make the April 9th deadline for this upcoming Fall 2014 semester, there's always next time!
This semester one of our interns is Kaycee Hill. Kaycee is a Senior here at WKU, and her major is English Literature. She is currently a ENG 299 Undergraduate Teaching Assistant for Dr. Hollyfield.
What kind of responsibilities do you have?
Provide feedback on course structure and syllabus, recruit guest speakers, mentor students outside of class in office hours, organize student presentation schedules, assisting in grading, teaching class occasionally.
Why did you choose to be an English 299: Teaching Assistant Intern?
I hope to attend graduate school, where I will work as a graduate teaching assistant. This internship allows me to gain experience that is directly related to my success at the next level.
What did you expect going into this internship, and has it met or surpassed those expectations?
I talked a lot with the previous English 299 T.A., so I knew what to expect. Trying to balance the wide range of responsibilities was a little overwhelming at first, but now that I've settled in, I like the dynamic nature of the class. The students make my job fun, which helps keep me motivated.
Do you think it will be a beneficial experience?
This internship has been valuable for me so far because I have a more realistic view of what goes into teaching. I have developed skills that other students only practice after graduation, when there is more pressure to succeed. I'm lucky to have this opportunity.
Have you encountered any situations that you didn't know how to handle?
I wouldn't say that I have a perfect record in "situation" handling, but I have never been totally in the dark about what steps to take or where to go for guidance.
What advice would you give to current or future interns?
Talk and listen. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Use your support systems when the internship gets stressful. Establish good working relationships with your professor, your students, and the last person who held your position. All of these people have something to teach you, and part of your job as an intern is to pay attention to the experience.

If you are already a guest or a member sign in below.
As most consumers are familiar with incandescent bulbs and how much light these put out, CFL packaging indicates both the actual and equivalent wattages. Generally, a multiplication factor of five is used, so a 15W CFL is claimed to give the same light as a 75W incandescent. Our testing (along with a recent test by the University of NSW) indicates this is only true in the best cases, particularly after the CFL has been in use for a while. For most bulbs, you're better off using a more conservative multiplication factor of four – that is, assume a 15W CFL will be closer to a 60W incandescent.
Colour temperature CFLs are available in three colour temperatures, which basically means three different types of light. The colour temperature is measured in kelvins and indicated on the bulb and its packaging.
Shape The shape of a CFL isn't a factor in its brightness, but does determine the direction in which most light is thrown. A folded tube emits most of its light out of the sides and should be installed lengthways so the side faces out. A spiral emits light from its end as well as its sides and end, so is probably a better choice for a downward pointing light fitting. Dimmable Several types of CFLs are suitable for use with dimmer switches, but check the packaging to make sure you have the right type. Instant light Modern CFLs activate almost instantly with a reasonable light output, so in most cases they're suitable for use in stairways, cellars and other areas where you need immediate, bright light. Nevertheless, for these areas and other rooms where you typically only switch on the light for a few minutes, choose a bulb with a faster warm-up time so it reaches maximum output faster. Light fittings There's no performance difference between bayonet cap (BC) and Edison screw (ES) mounts on light bulbs. However, the light fitting itself can make a difference – whether it has an effective reflector dish, the size and translucence of the glass and so on. Small enclosed light fittings can trap heat even from a CFL and reduce the bulb life, so these aren't ideal. If you find a particular light fitting isn't putting out enough light, a brighter bulb may be the answer, but also consider replacing the light fitting with one that has a better reflector.
Don't turn a CFL light on and off any more than you need to, as rapid on-off-on again switching can shorten their lifespan. Switching several times a day is not a problem, and don't be afraid to turn them off when you leave a room; just avoid doing this several times an hour, day in day out.

A Madison interior designer takes her talents home for a creative and cozy family space
The living room at the Simpsons' home. See more photos in the slideshow below.
Organic, fresh and downright fun, the west-side home Carrie Simpson shares with husband Ira, son Aidan and pup Carly hosts a charming assortment of patterns and color—much like an extension of her Atwood Avenue store, Vault Interiors & Design.
Simpson, who received a psychology degree from UW–Madison and an interior design degree from MATC, earned her stripes as an intern-turned-employee at Fontaine and opened the doors to her own shop in September. While she works with clients to fulfill their personal design wants and needs, she maintains her own distinctive taste—and it's one she readily applies at home.
The Simpson residence is filled with unexpected, but unquestionably ingenious, design choices. For starters, there's the floor-to-ceiling cold-rolled steel fireplace mantle, contracted by Sweeney Construction, custom bent by Hooper Cooperation and finished with a coating by Sophisticated Surfaces LLC. The slick showstopper is flanked by a pair of walnut veneer built-ins that stretch across the space and serve as a resting place for family heirlooms and special pottery. A graphic rug in black and white paired with a blue jewel-toned sofa, made by the Straight Thread, pulls it all together.
"I like pattern and I like color. Someday maybe I'll live in an all-white house, but this house just doesn't say that to me," says Simpson.
To maximize the home's minimal natural light, Simpson gave the perimeter kitchen cabinets a fresh coat of paint and added an island with a quartz countertop to brighten up the food prep space. Ira, an Oklahoma transplant who became captivated by Madison while studying at UW, serves as the family's head chef and selected the kitchen's appliances. A favorite addition is a Kohler Karbon faucet with precision angles and a stick-operated handle reminiscent of a racecar.
"The layout of the kitchen, as it was, just was not usable for both Ira and me to be in there cooking at the same time," says Simpson. "We wanted to open it up. We wanted more space for entertaining and just for the way that the three of us function in the house."
Decorated deer sheds, insect art and a live edge dining table are a few of the styling selections that represent Simpson's affinity for natural and found pieces. Salvaged goods, including a woven tobacco-drying basket from Montana and a century-old Mexican shutter picked up on a trip to Santa Fe, are used as artwork and add both a heft and history that the Simpsons adore.
"I've always appreciated homes that speak to the people who live there, even if it's not my style. If it represents the people who live there, you fall in love with it."
And you can bet that the Simpson family is in love.
Hannah Kiddoo is a writer formerly based in Madison.

Hi, I live in Atlanta and have several large buckets of wondering jews that I'd like to keep. Last year, I brought them in, but I don't have the space to do that this year with so many.
My plants are now on my front, oovered porch on the sevel level. Must I bring these in? If I leave them outside, what care is recommended for their vitality? Thanks, everyone. Happy planting!! |

In zone 7, you'll need to bring them in (I brought mine in about a week ago - when temps were close to 40°F over-night). The foliage burns and dies back readily with cold temps, and a good freeze will kill the roots in the container. Is there any way you could make/purchase a tiered plant rack? Could you hang them from the ceiling, near windows? Josh |

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iran's president-elect believes it's possible to strike a deal that would allow the country to keep enriching uranium while assuring the West it will not produce a nuclear weapon.
That's according to remarks by Hasan Rowhani from an interview recorded four months ago and rerun on Iranian state TV on Friday.
In the interview, Rowhani said his government would look for a win-win deal to resolve the disputes with the United States.
He also suggested that under his presidency, Iran would seek to convince the U.S. and its allies that dialogue and not sanctions are the way forward.
The broadcast appears to be intended to underline Rowani's pledge to follow a "path of moderation" and pursue greater openness over Iran's nuclear program.
He is set to take office in August.

In order not to intrude on Marcolo's excellent "Design Around This: 1920s" thread (see link below), here's a separate thread seeking your design wisdom. We're doing a retro style kitchen. I had a whole scheme worked out... and then I found out that the paint could be removed from the original 1935 tile on my sink wall, and here's what was underneath:
Butter yellow and burgundy! I love it. But I cannot seem to come up with a good combination of cabinet colors (or stain) and counter color. We're looking mostly at laminate (maybe the Wilsonart Carrara marble? Or the faux soapstone?) or wood for the counter, or maybe green marble, but we're not fixated on that. We don't want the kitchen too dark; it's north-facing and I don't want to aggravate the lack of light issue. Can you think of a wood stain and counter combo that would work with this tile? It is original 1930s tile, so it goes from the floor to about shoulder height. At this point we're leaning a bit towards stained wood because we're not sure how long we're going to be in this house, and stained seems more versatile in that it's easier to paint stained wood than to un-paint painted wood. I do like cream cabinets, and pale yellow, and various other colors, but am not sure I want to commit to that since we don't see this as our forever house. Any ideas?? |

Are you giving up on your bookmatched cabs? Paint might actually be easier. I'll go searching. Meanwhile, hold down the fort and smack the first person who uses the phrase, "tone down." |
Yeah, I'm sure paint would be easier. I feel like wood is better for resale and we may sell relatively soon (not afraid of doing a vintage kitchen, since any buyer who doesn't like a vintage kitchen will also hate our bathrooms, and therefore does not deserve to buy our house). So I would love to find a wood that works. But feel free to persuade me otherwise. |

I love your yellow/burgundy tiles! Very classic and tasteful. But I'm not too knowledgeable re the '20s/30s era. I think green would be a great counter top colour. Get hold of a colour wheel and choose the direct complement of the burgundy. Choose your other coordinates from the yellow half of the wheel. So, any natural wood stain should work even if it has yellow or orange tones. |
- Posted by lavender_lass (My Page) on Wed, Nov 16, 11 at 21:36
I'm color happy...but I think green would be nice with the butter yellow and burgandy, along with a cinnamon toned wood. Here are my favorite 1930s kitchens, in case they give you any ideas. Hope this helps :)

I really dig the idea of a deep green serpentine counter. My tube tiles have a great green leaf in them. Could green work? Re. cab color, it's hard to say. I wound up with the recycled cabinets I have (aged cherry) out of sheer chance; had I actually picked out a new finish I'm not sure which direction I might have gone. The cherry works pretty well with the burgundy in the tile, although I do wonder how painted white would have looked in comparison. I would adore white enameled steel cabinets with your tile, with slightly rounded edges. I had some in a tiny San Francisco apartment once, and still look back fondly at their chrome handles and overall deco vibe; plus, they're indestructible. The burgundy/yellow seems to work with my white enameled stove: |
Oh right! Flooring. Under the hideous white vinyl is a 75+ year old light to medium golden oak hardwood floor. I have your kitchen saved in my inspiration photos, Circuspeanut... :-) I hesitate about the serpentine (though it is beautiful) because I wonder if it would either require dark-ish cabinets (in order to avoid the "countertop cutting kitchen in half" effect), and thus make the overall look much darker. And it's one of the least "green" options from an enviro perspective... nobody seems to make serpentine-like laminate counter, unfortunately. But it's beautiful...! |

Hmm. One thing I've always regretted is not being able to find a green countertop, either. I've always felt that my copper counters are just waaaay too much orange in an already dreadfully warm space, what with the fir and cherry. Had I known at the time, and if I had more verve at the moment, it's possible to chemically patina copper to a gorgeous deep verdigris hue, then seal it for use. Whereas copper isn't particularly green, either, it can be readily found locally, fabricated cheaply, and it is always recyclable. (We joke that my counters are basically my retirement fund, hardee har.) Would green necessarily divide things in half if you did some kind of darker stain, like cherry? |
- Posted by circuspeanut (My Page) on Wed, Nov 16, 11 at 22:09
oh! Do you have any current photos of your kitchen space as is? |
- Posted by circuspeanut (My Page) on Wed, Nov 16, 11 at 22:10
And duh, you just said you don't want a darker stain. Never mind. I'm still flu-addled and just babbling on to myself here, cats on feet. |
What about burgandy stained lower cabinets and uppers in a buttery cream w/burgandy glaze and a green counter? |
- Posted by palimpsest (My Page) on Wed, Nov 16, 11 at 22:27
How much of the tile have you stripped? It seems whenever I strip paint off something, I found there was a reason it was painted in the first place. I would make sure the tiles are still in decent condition. If you need to replace a few tiles here and there, you can probably find some old stock somewhere or pop some out from areas that will be concealed by cabinets. I am keeping my 1930s kitchen tiled walls and counter. The mud cap (edge)on the counter is in terrible shape and needs replacing. It took me two years of searching to find the replacement tile. By the way, I love the yellow and burgundy colors! Lisa |
- Posted by jterrilynn (My Page) on Wed, Nov 16, 11 at 23:08
How about these colors ( not so much the style), the wall cabs are a butter cream and base cabs are cordovan with a sable gaze, looks sort of dark burgandy. |
pal, funny you should post that range. She already has a Fratelli Onofri in burgundy! I vote for pal's first scheme, but really want to see something like F&B Lichen on the wall. |
Yes, as Marcolo says, our range actually is burgundy. I bought it before discovering the tile. Score! Circuspeanut, current photos of our kitchen as-is would be too painful to behold. :-) I have some sample doors and the cherry-ish/cinnamon-y ones actually do look decent next to the yellow tile, which surprised me. So my big conundrum there would be what counter would look both (a) good and (b) vintage but not outrageously vintage with BOTH the cabinets and the tiles. This is tile wainscoting, so it has to coordinate with both the base cabinets and the counter--it's right next to both. The burgundy base cabinets idea is intriguing, but when it comes to painted cabinets I always prefer lighter colors. But maybe a wood stain with burgundy-ish tones, like JTerrilyn says... I'll have to get a sample and hold it up. Ljrawr, I think the tile was probably painted partly because it was out of style and partly because the glaze was getting a bit crackly. Of course I could be totally wrong! We shall see. |
Sorry--I just wanted to point out that Medallion makes a door style that is reminiscent of the interior doors in many of the houses in my neighborhood ('20s): I still say slab inset for you. Though there seem to be a lot of green granites in the world. This one has burgundy highlights. But I'm not sure that's the right way to go. |
I vote for Pal's #2 scheme. I can't believe you bought a matching range, without having seen the tile. It is kismet! |
I'm just throwing out some color combinations. My favorite is the burgundy counter with the honey spice oak. Natural maple cabs & Formica Grass Natural Maple cabs and Silestone Koan Quartersawn Oak Honey Spice cabs & Formica Grass Quartersawn Oak Honey Spice cabs and Silestone Koan Quartersawn Oak Honey Spice cabs and Surf Green Granite |

This is from elle decor. They have a pretty nice Look Book on the right hand side. It looks quite modern here, mostly because of the arrangement, but it's qtr sawn, white oak cabinets with a light stain in a plain shaker style. The shown counters are carrara, but in your kitchen, maybe the plainer solid surfaces that frequently go on sale as well as palimpsest's lighter laminate counters. This is just my personal opinion and of course, reflects what I like. In any scheme there are the stars, the supporting players and the background. Like mint green counters could also be cool, but maybe consider letting small appliances and textiles use that color instead. I think plain will be your friend and easy to live with. Let the tile take one of the star roles while planning the other elements in the kitchen more in tune with life and styles of this century and not try for completely retro. |

Could you do mostly stainless steel countertops mixed with some wood/butcherblock? To me that would really look nice with your tiles and what ever cabinet color you choose. You could then bring in another color like the green you like through cool accessories. |

Ideagirl2- Have you seen Mama Goose's kitchen? She's been working on it for about a year and just put the sink in (bottom of thread). It looks fabulous and I think it would give you some great ideas. She's been using a lot of green on the cabinets that is similar to Jadite. I think you could do the same thing...green on the bottom and creamy/light yellow (to match the tiles) rather than white, on the top. Jadite bowl...very 1930s
The range you have is going to be perfect...and maybe find a fabric with a nice 1930s pattern, with the green, burgandy and a little black. I would definitely choose the faux soapstone countertops. I think they'll look good with the tile, be easy to use and bring in a little black, which I think you'll need with all the colors and wood floors. Notice the black countertops in Mama Goose's kitchen look amazing! Also, the open shelves by the sink and spice shelves, under the upper cabinets, might be something you want to add, too. Hope this helps :) |
Here is a link that might be useful: Mama Goose's kitchen
Hello all, thank you! Cawaps, I've got a sample of the Formica Grass, and IRL it looks nice with the tile, but only nice. What I'm hoping is that something will really wow me. I would settle for even being somewhat wowed, haha. I wonder if stainless would work, as Jterrilyn suggested? In and of itself it's too cold a color, but maybe if it's surrounded by yellow it would warm up? Does anyone have pictures of stainless counters in warm-colored kitchens? We have stainless right now and functionally speaking it's excellent, particularly with the nautical edges, but I'm so SO not into grey. The only place I like grey is on cats. Or maybe dogs. That's about it. Of course, our stainless looks as grey as possible because our cabinets are grey and the walls are putty-colored. (The whole abomination is due to Tasteless Previous Owners with No Common Sense... see rants on other threads.) Black or charcoal grey I'm fine with, but not dull cloudy-day medium grey. Lavender, the black counters in Mama Goose's kitchen look great. Our first thought for counters was soapstone, but then we got a quote and I realized that my brain refuses to process any sentence that contains both the word "countertop" and the words "six thousand dollars." They just do not compute. :-) It's not about being able to afford it, it's about refusing to pay that much. The ghosts of my grandparents rise up and remind me that they grew up in the Great Depression, and then they say, "It's a COUNTERTOP. It's just a COUNTERTOP! You could lay BARE PLANKS across the cabinets and it'd work just fine! Do you realize what else you could do with $6000 etc. etc. etc." So that's what we're dealing with here... :-) And Lavender, I'm a total sucker for jadeite and also for carnival glass. Colors! Give me colors! Love 'em! |
Oh hey! I just found a yellow kitchen with stainless counters. It does look like the yellow changes the feel of the stainless, shifting it warmer: Do you think pale yellow would have a similar effect? Oh, and by the way, the samples I've seen of painted cabinets have a weird surface... it's almost impossible to tell that what's under the paint is actually wood. Do you know what I mean? The "paint" almost seems like Thermofoil or something. I assume this makes the surface more durable, etc., but is it really a bad idea to have a proper PAINTED surface, one that doesn't look and feel like the wood is covered in a solid 1/8" layer of some sort of plastic that is misleadingly referred to as "paint"? |

Wet summer has not yet increased EEE threatBy LISA RATHKE
The Associated Press | July 28,2013Despite a wet summer, Vermonts insect expert isnt seeing an alarming number of mosquitoes that tend to carry Eastern equine encephalitis, which killed two people in the state last year.
But state entomologist Alan Graham warns that its only July and the mosquito season doesnt reach its height until August.
The state started testing mosquitoes in parts of Addison and Rutland counties June 17. Workers collect mosquitoes and ship them off to a lab in New York to check for EEE and West Nile virus.
Mosquitoes are out in huge numbers after a wet summer that has hatched large numbers of the insects. The state has 45 species of mosquitoes, and just an inch of rain can trigger a breeding frenzy in areas of standing water.
And they can come off in enormous numbers and indeed they have, Graham said.
While those species may not carry EEE, they may carry West Nile virus, which also is spread to humans by infected mosquitoes and has turned up in one mosquito pool in Addison County so far this year. West Nile isnt as severe as EEE, but it can still cause significant illness, said state epidemiologist Erica Berl.
But so far the species that tends to carry EEE is down from last year.
Last September, an 89-year-old man from Brandon and a 49-year-old man from Sudbury died from EEE, a rare and potentially fatal brain infection spread by mosquitoes. Health Commissioner Dr. Harry Chen said then that there are usually only six cases a year nationwide, and it was Vermonts first time detecting the disease in humans.
The virus can cause two types of human illness.
One comes on suddenly and is characterized by chills, fever, malaise, joint and muscle pain. A more severe illness affects the central nervous system and causes fever, headache, irritability, restlessness, drowsiness, convulsions and coma.
The mosquito species that tend to carry EEE prefer hardwood acidic swamps, which dont have a lot of water turnover and attract acidic-loving plants, like sphagnum moss, Graham said.
Officials advise residents to take precautions against mosquito bites by avoiding outdoor activities at dusk and dawn, wearing long sleeves and pants, and using insect repellent.
The state could also consider doing aerial pesticide spraying of adult insects as it did last year to cut back on the threat of disease. Some local organizations, such as the Brandon-Leicester-Sudbury-Goshen Insect Control District, routinely spray to kill mosquito larvae in the most active breeding grounds.
There are too many variables to predict if EEE will become a problem, but officials hope testing will serve as an early detection system.
Our hope is that wed have a surveillance program that would be able to sort of do an early detection and reduce the number of mosquitoes that might have a risk of transmitting EEE to humans, Graham said.MORE IN This Just InStaff Report Full StoryThe Associated Press Full StoryPolice: Man robbed Full Story -
