So...I was waiting for a couple of things to happen until I posted finished kitchen photos. I was waiting for our kitchen table and chairs (ordered and on the way) to come in. I was waiting to figure out how to accessorize my open shelves. I was waiting for our desk chair to arrive and for my husband to purchase the computer monitor. I was waiting to pick up a beautiful rose bouquet to throw in a vase and place on our island. I was waiting to figure out how to take better photos with my new digital camera (and Christmas gift from my husband). And finally, I was waiting for the perfect overcast sky in which to take these photos. And then I thought, to heck with it!!!
I spontaneously decided to just post the near-finished photos tonight. I'll post finished/finished-finished/no-really-finished photos on my website once all of the above happens, so feel free to visit it again in a couple of weeks. But for now, enjoy! This forum has some of the most generous and spirited people I have ever encountered. I loved and still love coming to a place where people are as enamoured with design and details as much as I am, and dedicate so much time into making their house into a home. I love reading your stories and helping out whenever I can. I wanted to celebrate the success of our kitchen with all of you, and thank you as deeply as one can in the online world, because I can honestly say that our kitchen would never have turned out this way if I didn't "find" all of you on GW. So, thank you. Click on the link to my website below for more photos and all the details. Redroze's White and Espresso Kitchen |

Stunning design and those pendants!!!!! Sigh |
So difficult to decide on my favorite detail...the glass front cabinet, the gorgeous floor, the dark island and desk, the perfect hardware, or the amazingly simple, but striking and unusual backsplash. It's all wonderful, close up and from the more distant view! Enjoy, enjoy! |
It turned out so beautiful, congratulations! All of your thought and hard work paid off. So many great details, I know you are already enjoying it! vic |

Well, I already knew I was in love with your kitchen before you posted these photos. What a marvelous space in its entirety! But, now that I have read your blog, I'm not just in love with your kitchen . . . I'm in love with redroze! What fantastic journaling! That has to be one of the most clear, comprehensive, and totally helpful of all kitchen reno chronicles and advice I have ever seen. There is so much to learn and appreciate from your remodel process. Thank you! Back to the kitchen itself for a minute, I'm like rhome in not being sure what I like most. But I must tell you that I am struck by the way you framed your window with the crown and the cabinetry! Love both the open shelving to the left of the window and the tall glass front cabinet to the right! Love the dramatic window treatments on one side and the pillars on the other! Love the granite! Love the pendants! Love the color play! Oh, heck, love it all! Many, many congratulations, redroze! All the kudos you are going to receive on this reno are so very much deserved! |
Absolutely stunning. Great job, you will enjoy this for years to come! Is that an induction cooktop? If yes, what brand? Is the small drawer functional? |
Red You have turned your house into a home! Your passion for design, function, and detail are evident. The hood is fine, I personally am not a fan of a hood, of all things to be a huge focal point - I think some punches of color, perhaps hanging some lovely dishes above will suit the area fine. I totally agree w/you about the subs - sorry you had that experience w/the flooring - but I'm sure you are pleased that you allowed that timeline buster take place. Can't wait to see guest & master bzths - love your inspiration photos! What are you enjoying most about the new space? Enjoy - job well done |
Just beautiful, everything. I love the whole light, open feel and charming details, like the open shelving, the hardware, the cabinets, and the faucet and pendants are like jewelry. Really lovely! I'm glad you didn't keep us waiting any longer! |
So GORGEOUS!!! I love your granite - it's so perfect with your two cabinet colors! And the barstools are a perfect mix of modern. Everything is just perfect! |
What a warm and inviting kitchen. I love the espresso floors!! I am in awe of how well thought out the layout is. I am sure you will enjoy it for years to come. |

It's great to finally see the "big picture"! Your teasers have been wonderfully tantalizing, but seeing the whole thing is much more satisfying. You must be so pleased with your beautiful new space. It's so calming, and your attention to detail really paid off. Congratulations!! |
- Posted by mythreesonsnc (My Page) on Sun, Mar 15, 09 at 8:08
It is really gorgeous --- classic and timeless, and I feel those words don't quite do it justice! I am just starting a kitchen design for a new home. I have been saving magazine clippings and have a giant binder. I will circle every element in your kitchen! I was wondering if you would mind sharing the pendant light manufacturer. Fabulous kitchen --- Congratulations! |
- Posted by chloe_s_mom (My Page) on Sun, Mar 15, 09 at 8:14
Fabulous! I was waiting for the photos, after having seen peaks of it when you posted re a sectional. Everything looks elegant, bright but also cozy, and just plain awesome. Did you say that you were going to backsplash over on the espresso side of the units? |
- Posted by sarahandbray (My Page) on Sun, Mar 15, 09 at 8:31
Gorgeous job!! Thought the first picture was right out of a magazine! Love the backsplash and the inset cabinets most of all. A very serene, peaceful space. Flows well into the next room too--entertaining there should be so much fun! Enjoy! -Sarah |
- Posted by farmhousebound (My Page) on Sun, Mar 15, 09 at 8:44
Beautiful kitchen! I love the glass front cabinet and the display shelves near your sink. Enjoy--you deserve it! |
- Posted by laxsupermom (My Page) on Sun, Mar 15, 09 at 9:08
I love every last thing about your kitchen! Highlights for me include the gorgeous pendants, drapery finials, deep rich color on your floors and island, and the clever simple cabinetry style valance for your window. I really enjoyed your website and remembered the flooring stain issue when it came up. Your website is one of the best kitchen renovation documentations I've seen - and I've spent a ridiculous amt of time perusing kitchen renos. I'm so glad you posted today without waiting. Raising a glass and toasting your lovely kitchen.(It's 9am so it's tea, but I'll raise a real glass later.) |
Wow - stunning! Your attention to detail really shows in how well all of the elements come together for a sophisticated, welcoming, and functional kitchen. |
I love your kitchen. Thanks for posting new photos. I remember when you were posting about the valance size over the window :) Great to see the (almost there) progress!! |
- Posted by danielle00 (My Page) on Sun, Mar 15, 09 at 9:20
I've been waiting for your final pictures for a while! I'm so glad to see everything turned out so well for you. I love the pendants, the layout, the dark/light cabs, faucet... everything!! |
LOVE IT! I knew I would. Great to see it all together. I can't get enough of those hefty, elegant Aubrey pulls. I just want to wrap my hand around one. I used some of your earlier clippings to show my cabinetmaker. Thanks for sharing and enjoy !!!!!!! |
- Posted by crazyhouse6 (My Page) on Sun, Mar 15, 09 at 9:52
Congratulations. Beautiful kitchen. I love your pendant lights, your granite and the overall look/feel of the space. Enjoy! |
Your attention to detail and layering of finishes and shapes have given the space a real elegance that also includes the warmth and character you want in a kitchen. Congratulations. |
Hi Red!!! Well, it was certainly worth the wait! How stunning is your kitchen? I've enjoyed every thread and pic, from the beginning all the way through to completion. From the first pics of your dreamy granite slabs, to your call-out to the forum for help in locating your absolutely perfect backsplash tiles, to the hanging of your crowning jewels (your pendant lights), to today's unveiling (with the link to your awesome website!) I've wanted to see more, more, more--I've loved it all! You've done an outstanding job, and I hope you will enjoy your breathtaking kitchen for many years to come! Kudos to you! |
Beautiful kitchen! Love the way it all comes together - looks like a lovely warm space to work in, hang out in, have a glass of wine in while someone else cooks, etc. ;-) Great blog, too. I like the lessons learned part. Congrats! |
AAAAHHHHHHH! I LOVE YOUR KITCHEN!!!!!! need I say more??? my goodness, it is just gorgeous!! The draperies and fun items on the open shelving are really making it all come together. I really can't wait to see your gorgeous table and chairs (I'm still on the hunt for mine - eeek!). I love the up-close and personal shots of the the granite - it is just stunning, stunning, stunning! I'm celebrating for you :o) Mairin |
great kitchen, great website with tons of useful information. well done. |
- Posted by pluckymama (My Page) on Sun, Mar 15, 09 at 14:05
Redroze, It has been a long journey, but well worth it, you have one of my favorite kitchens on GW (and you are one of my favorite people :) The kitchen turned out beautifully. You have not only thought through every detail so carefully, you have shared that information every step of the way with us and now so completely in your finished kitchen posting. Thank you for all I have learned from you and for the gracious way you share with us and give your opinion. Your kitchen is gorgeous! |
- Posted by writersblock (My Page) on Sun, Mar 15, 09 at 14:15
Really lovely, redroze! And thanks for all the details in your blog. |
let me wipe away a tear....ok, that's better....SPECTACULAR! |
- Posted by zenamidievel (My Page) on Sun, Mar 15, 09 at 14:46
Your kitchen is beautiful!! Z. |
Fantastic!!!! And the blog is wonderful. I so remember your floor debacle and you were so right to insist that they redo it to get the color dark enough. Really beautiful! Congratulations. |
Spectacular! Your kitchen is perfect and thank you for sharing all your very helpful information. You are a huge inspiration to me! |
Wow! Another beautiful kitchen. Details were so informative. What you learned etc. very helpful. Details I see are what makes a kitchen not so much cabinets. ie hardware, faucets, sinks. If it were not for this website I would not have given that nearly the consideration I am now. Your pictures speak to the details! Cabinets are beautiful but details! Good job. |
sooooooo glad i didn't miss this as i have been a little sporatic lately. one word, ELEGANT. but the second word that comes to my mind is inviting. i totally wish i could hang out in that kitchen/family room area. you are going to love it for years to come. i too can't pick just one thing that i love the most. it just all flows together so nicely. unbelievable job and you have also been so helpful to others along the way!!!!!! |
REALLY beautiful!!! It's so clean and crisp! |
- Posted by jeniferrlynne (My Page) on Sun, Mar 15, 09 at 17:52
I think it is simply gorgeous. You have been so kind to share advice and pics before you were finished. Thank you and I am happy to see you are enjoying your space. |
- Posted by smilingjudy (My Page) on Sun, Mar 15, 09 at 18:02
Soooo beautiful. I just love the wall of draperies and the open shelves. Your hardware is absolutely perfect; always loved it in your space. And that layout must be the best I've ever seen. I know what you mean by "finished-finished", but is it ever really? :) If everything was truly finished, what would we spend our time doing? |
YAY!! I've been following your progress from the begining. One of the most gorgeous, elegant kitchens I've seen. You have been a great help to me with my reno, thanks for all of your input. I'll be looking forward to another post with the new table and chairs!! Enjoy!! |
- Posted by denali_2007 (My Page) on Sun, Mar 15, 09 at 19:14
WOW! I'm not a fan of granite, vut that is stunning. What a beautiful kitchen. |
So nice to see the final (well almost final) pictures. Don't tell me your house is always that immaculate!!! :>) Hard to pick one favorite, but I'd have to say it's those wonderful pendant lights! |
I'm so flattered everyone, thanks!!! =) I love that everyone is responding well to the website. I am super super stoked about that, actually. I hope the new folks can take some ideas and build it into their own plans. I learned so much from others here. Ebse - The cooktop is electric and from Kitchenaid. We may eventually replace it with an induction, but have really loved the electric one so far. SO easy to clean with the touch controls. Are you asking about the drawer below the cooktop? It's actually a false panel that we put a pull on just to make it look like a drawer. Jejvtr - What I am enjoying most, hands down, is being able to eat cereal at the island!! Our old island didn't have an overhang. It is such a luxury to be able to hang out at the island, it is really my favourite spot. Chloe s mom - We didn't have any plans to backsplash over the espresso side. Once we wall mount the monitor, we'll see if it needs a little something extra. I wouldn't want to put anything there that would detract from the monitor. One idea is to put a bulletin board covered with fabric and string over it (I don't think I'm describing it well), that we can stick notes on. |
Another beautiful white kitchen - well done! Especially love your backsplash, bar stools. Question: how do you like your KitchenAid FD fridge and dishwasher? Which models did you get? We are thinking of KA for these two products and would appreciate your input. Thanks! |
- Posted by bdaykitchen (My Page) on Sun, Mar 15, 09 at 20:48
Redroze, I've been waiting with anticipation to see your "reveal". I have followed your progress & we've communicated often throughout as we've been involved in the process of kitchen planning, construction, demolition and rebuilding. I've mentioned that yours has been much of an "inspiration kitchen" to me. Mine will now, as it turns out(and as you advocate in your guidance), be a fair bit different, but I have long been guided by the fresh and yet traditional aesthetic of your design. I hope you have many years of delight from the kitchen!! P.S.- Now I need another detail- the Urban something barstools- what is the name of this product? I was looking on the site but was not sure if I was looking at the same one. I love them! |
- Posted by annes_arbor (My Page) on Sun, Mar 15, 09 at 21:02
Glad to see the final reveal. It's a beautiful kitchen. I had always wondered about the "before" pictures. Wow--the transformation is nothing short of astonishing. Happy cooking! |
Beautiful! All these kitchens are so inspirational! Enjoy that cereal, if you are like us, it's about all we will be able to afford after the reno! ;) Kat :) |
RR, I have so enjoyed following the progress of your beautiful and well thought out kitchen (even a bit more than most because I know you're a Torontonian too and who knows, we may have passed each other on the street some time…). I especially love your web site! I'm just in the process of gathering all my pix and finishing chronicling our progress for a GW posting, and you have set a new standard of excellence! Enjoy your beautiful kitchen and your cereal :-) Eliz |
Those lamps are hidious (can you box them up and send them to me please?) :oP I knew this was going to end up being a gorgeous kitchen from the early days. You've exceeded expectations. I love it and I'll bet you REALLY do! |
I am so happy reading all of your posts!! It's so interesting that the things you think are mistakes at the time (the valance is one of them) are viewed by a good thing by others. It just goes to show that sometimes you get too engrossed in the specifics that you need to look big picture. I'm also so pleased about the notes about it being inviting and welcoming. That is SO representative of how we feel in our kitchen, and when we bring family and friends over. I had really hoped it was coming across in the photos as I sometimes worried the photos were too stark...but love that it's coming across to all of you!! Also happy for those of you taking clippings. Clip away! Laxsupermom - I am so flattered by your comment about the website. Thank you. Marthavila - Thanks so much for your note! Katieob - You're getting the Aubreys too? YOu're gonna love them. They're substantial but oh so comfortable too. Catmom - Hello old friend!! You reminded me of all the posts where I fretted and came to GW for help. You were one of many who helped me out, to which I am so grateful for. Plucky - You're one of my favourites as well!! Raehelen - I'm awfully neat, so I'd be lying if I said I often have tons of things on the counter. We have more storage than we need so everything is usually tucked away. DH's hiding ideas helped a ton!! Just noticed a few questions that I missed. Jejvtr - My previous cabinets were laminate, and we painted them grey to go with the greyish tile floors. The handles were a dark silvery/black metal. I definitely want to add some punches of colour here and there...can't wait to inject some touches of colour actually, as I've loved the hits on the open shelving. Mythreesonsnc - The pendant light manufacturer is Turn of the Century Lighting, in Toronto Canada. Their website is here. The pendants were the splurge, meaning that we spent more on them then we would normally would have. They were a "must have" in the space!! Kulagal - I'm sorry to say that I don't know what the model is for the KD fridge, but the dishwasher model link is here,. They are both performing wonderfully. Bdaykitchen - Hello, your kitchen's not like mine but it's going to be outstanding!! The barstools are the Dave ones...they look distorted on the Urban Barn website, like too wide or something. Elizpiz - Can't wait to see your finished kitchen photos!! Please don't feel pressured to have to document the details like I did -- I went this route, but have read many other finished kitchen posts that were more minimal but still very engaging. I too, have wondered whether I've passed you on the street!! Igloo - Dear Igloo, as much as I adore your posts I'm going to have keep the pendants. ;-) |
Beautiful kitchen! I love the dark floors-mine are quite dark, too, but my kitchen is nowhere near finished so it is great to see dark floors in such a stunning finished kitchen! |
- Posted by advertguy2 (My Page) on Mon, Mar 16, 09 at 15:31
Now that's a sweet looking kitchen. Love the granite. One question regarding your under cabinet outlets shown on your website. Are those to code (in the Toronto area)? If you got a permit and they were approved, then thats awesome but I though you couldn't have regular romex exposed like that. Just curious since I'm coming up with ideas for details such as that. Great job, Dan |
redroze - Congratulations on a fantastic kitchen!!! You took both modern and traditional elements and pulled them together beautifully. Your kitchen is timeless and I'm sure you will enjoy it for years to come. |
Hi redroze, Your kitchen looks wonderful!! I haven't been on gardenweb long enough to have seen your posts in the planning stages, but it's very evident that a LOT of time went into it. My kitchen is still in progress, and I'm glad I found gardenweb before entirely finishing. This is very odd, but I can now picture what I hope my kitchen will look like since seeing yours! To explain that, my layout will be very similar with the range in the same location and an island in the same location. Our cabinets will be white with the island stained dark, as well as very dark floors. The thing I haven't figured out is the backsplash. I hope mine looks even half as good as yours! Congrats on being finished!! |
Advertguy - We live in the GTA and DH says the undercabinet outlets are to code. Next time we see our GC though, I will ask him just to be sure. Aubie - Happy to provide the visual for you! I was always excited to find magazines or online photos that were similar, just I got a better sense of what it would look like. |
Redroze - Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous kitchen. I have been reading everything here for months and have enjoyed snippets of your kitchen. I really appreciate what you wrote on your website about appreciating your own kitchen. I have a small kitchen and I compare it constantly to all these gorgeous kitchens (yours) with envy. Thanks for sharing - enjoy! Kris |
- Posted by willowdecor (My Page) on Mon, Mar 16, 09 at 22:24
Absolutely stunning!! Your kitchen is gorgeous. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!! You have an incredible talent!! My favorite part is the espresso black cabinets- so chic! I'll bet you are thrilled - really wonderful job!! You should be so proud! |
I've been bypassing your kitchen because I wanted time to really take in EVERY BEAUTIFUL DETAIL! My favorite are the open display shelves. Thought I'd need to hunt to see it all. (I was expecting a photobucket link). Your blog is fantastic! Thanks! |
Hi redroze - sorry, meant to say this in my previous post and forgot. I love that you included a section in your website for what you felt you were really happy with vs. what you'd do differently. I was especially glad to see your comment about covering the floors really well during the remainder of construction. We were considering having the floors completely finished prior to installing cabinets, painting, etc. but then I thought better of it! We are planning to try just having the floors installed and the the staining / refinishing existing floors AFTER everything else. I've seen what happens with the contractors in my house and I doubt the floors would be intact even if they were entirely covered! Also, your comment about using subs recommended by your GC - one would think that would make perfect sense and would work out much better. You guys were very lucky to have a great GC! Unfortunately, in our case, our GC didn't have a very good list of subs, so some of them were absolutely horrible. We almost wished that we'd just told them to leave and gotten our own by the time they were done, but that would have slowed things down even more. One of his subs took forever to finish and kept just disappearing, only to act as if he was doing us a favor when he finally returned!! He also kept trying to raise his original price quoted every time he thought the job was actually more work than he expected. Never again will I put up with that! There are so many people out of work right now and I'm sure one of them would be glad to step in! |
red, your kitchen is gorgeous! I'm so happy for you to be 'almost' done! Congratulations! Sandy |
Krissd - I'm glad that note meant something to you. Willowdecor - Thanks SO much for your enthusiasm!! I'm giddy from your note because I just adore your kitchen and pantry!!!! Cotehele - That's so sweet. Thanks Sandy/Busybme! Aubie - Just a note that most people with hardwood (including me) install their floors first, then do the stain and one or two coats of poly (because you do NOT want to get floor stain on your cabinets!!), then the final coat of poly after everything is installed. Your note seemed to suggest that you're installing the floors after the cabinets are in, so I would highly advise against that!! I'm sorry that your GC experience didn't go well with the sub hires. I agree that our situation with our friend/GC was unique and it saddens me that not everyone can have a positive experience as us. |
Hi redroze, Just to clarify, we were planning to have the new floors installed before cabinets, but stain and poly put on after (the floor company we are using puts on 4 coats of poly). So would it be highly likely that they would get the floor stain on the cabinets?? It would be fine if just the toekick area (we're planning on having stainless steel for all the toekicks, so it could go on after the floors were stained (and cover anything that got on them!). There seems to be no really good time for doing the floors!! That's the part I'm most worried about. |
Hi Aubie, You're right, I stressed about the floors too as there's no "right" time. We got a looong scratch on our floors when they moved the fridge in, and all we got was a last coat of poly after that. We also got a few hard dings when they moved out the old fridge from the laundry room. (Argh, what is it with fridges??) So it looks like we'll have to do one last screening then a final coat of poly. I know they can keep the toekicks out...I'd prefer for them to do the stain before the cabs go in, but you may want to post on the flooring forum to get others' advice and experience. Good luck. |
Thanks, redroze. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one obsessing over things like this :) I know what you mean about the fridges - it seems that something is ruined every time they have to be moved. I actually did post on the flooring and remodeling forums, so will see if I get any responses. Enjoy your kitchen! I'm so jealous that you're done :) |
- Posted by kateskouros (My Page) on Tue, Mar 17, 09 at 21:52
your kitchen is a joy to behold ...lovely! i hope you enjoy many years of happy meals! |
Sigh, so lovely! I'm a sucker for a classic white kitchen, and yours is so tastefully executed. You must feel so happy every time you walk in! I love your choice in counter stools. I really like how they fade into your island and don't detract from its nice lines. They look comfy too. Congratulations on your gorgeous new space! Erika |
I really love your kitchen. I love your cabinets and that counter is stunning! The dark floor is gorgeous with the white cabinets. What is the wall color since I love that also? |
Just wanted to say I adore your kitchen, and have enjoyed reading your posts over the past few months. Especially the "DH wants this and I want that". We can all relate to that. Glad to see that you've been able to agree to such beautiful choices in this very sophisticated kitchen. |
We just got a phone call that our table stain sample is ready, so the table should be done soon too!! The photo on the Woodcraft website doesn't do it justice. Thanks for the wonderful comments. One person that i'm hoping will see this post is Rmkitchen. Has anyone seen here around? Aubie - It's been 10 months since the demo so this reveal has been a long time coming!! Kate - Thanks for the note!! Somehow meals taste better in our new kitchen, and there's much more prep space. I picture myself making jams in the summertime...always wanted to have a kitchen where you can make jams and pickles and stuff. Erika - The stools are SO comfy. Many a time, we have sat at the counters with our laptops and just hung out. Our friend said it's like having an Internet cafe, LOL. I can even cross my legs...that's a requirement for me for dining chairs, that I can cross my legs!! Lynn - The wall colour is Benjamin Moore Natural Cream. I originally thought we should do something more grey, but now that I see the big picture I realized that the pale warmth of the Natural Cream adds an overall coziness to the kitchen and family room that a grey paint just could not achieve. Debsan - Yes, our kitchen is really a melding of decisions from me and DH. We both instantly loved the granite which became a jumping off point for the colour scheme. Then there were things that I thought would be perfect (ex. pendants) and that he was more comfortable "test driving" first, which made him nervous as they were not returnable. He prefers to test things out in our space, whereas I can look at photos and imagine what it would look like. In the end, it works out!! |
Bumping this in the hopes that Rmkitchen will see this (if you haven't already). Where are you RM? |
- Posted by advertguy2 (My Page) on Fri, Mar 27, 09 at 8:59
Hi Redroze, Just wondering if you asked your GC about the electrical for your under cabinet lighting? Dan |
Hey advertguy, yes I did and he said that it is within code but he did not get a permit. Do you need anymore specific info? |
- Posted by advertguy2 (My Page) on Fri, Mar 27, 09 at 16:06
Naw, I'm good. Thanks for finding out. |
I'll do my part to bump this up for rm to see! We're having our upstairs re-painted in a couple of weeks (kitchen/LR/DR/hallway...). Might end up using BM White 01 again (but in the Aura paint, matte finish, which is why we are re-painting so soon--I fell in love with that paint while renovating a bathroom). One of the other whites I am considering is "your" Chantilly Lace. After reading your description of it, it sounded like a white I might like as well (for my walls). Will be painting sample whites on our walls over the next few days, and make a decision soon. I might not have included Chantilly Lace as a possibility had it not been for you. No matter which white we choose, I'll be happy that we'll have included a "redroze-endorsed" color in our decision-making process! Thanks for providing such descriptive details!!! :-) |
Wow! Timeless and stunning, elegantly simple, what else can I say? |
I just can't stop looking at your kitchen! It's unbelievably beautiful! That granite is to dye for.... |
Redroze, I've enjoyed the story of your developing kitchen since I started reading GW. I think one of the first posts I read was about your floors, where you didn't like the stain, and had them completely redone. I have to admit at the time that I thought you were crazy. But over the last several months I've come to realize that you understand that beauty is in the details, and that good enough is not always good enough. Now look at the gorgeous result of all the details you stressed over in your project. You've also been so generous to share all that you've learned along the way. You have an eye for design so I always enjoy reading your opinions. Congratulations on your beautiful space. |
Hi Redroze - Even though you're not "finished finished" may I archive your kitchen in the Finished Kitchens Blog? We can always update your photos/details later if any changes are needed. If you're ok with this please submit the FKB Category Checklist so I can easily categorize your kitchen. Thanks and congrats! |
Here is a link that might be useful: FKB Category Checklist
Starpooh - I would be honoured. I'll fill out the details now. Sorry for my tardy reply! The kitchen chairs and table should be here in a week or two, then we're officially done. |
Hey Starpooh, just wanted to say thanks for filling in all my kitchen details on the Finished Kitchens blog. I wanted to post "finished-finished" photos once our kitchen chairs were unwrapped. But alas, we got busy with our two bathroom renos and we haven't had time yet. I'll add new photos to my blog soon! |
I plan to do a combination of white and espresso cabinets too. I love your granite choice. Could you please tell me the name of granite? Thanks. |
Chilili00 - just dug up my old post as I was reminiscing about our kitchen reno. Sorry for the late reply - it's Bianco Antico. |
redroze, your kitchen is beautiful and I love the Bianco Antico counters! Thank you for letting us know. |
Redroze!!! I saw this thread pop-up, and smiled from ear to ear, as I remembered your lovely kitchen, and equally wonderful you! |

Promote Sweet's Syndrome Awareness
What is Sweet's Syndrome?
Sweet's Syndrome: Patient Information Leaflet (from the British Association of Dermatology)
Sweet's Syndrome: From the National Institutes of Health
Sweet's syndrome (the eponym for acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis) is characterized by a constellation of clinical symptoms, physical features, and pathologic findings which include:
- fever,
- neutrophilia,
- tender erythematous skin lesions (papules, nodules, and plaques),
- and a diffuse infiltrate consisting predominantly of mature neutrophils that are typically located in the upper dermis.
Sweet's syndrome presents in three clinical settings: classical (or idiopathic), malignancy-associated, and drug-induced.
- Classical Sweet's syndrome (CSS) usually presents in women between the age of 30 to 50 years, it is often preceded by an upper respiratory tract infection and may be associated with inflammatory bowel disease and pregnancy. Approximately one-third of patients with CSS experience recurrence of the dermatosis.
- Malignancy-associated Sweet's syndrome (MASS) can occur as a paraneoplastic syndrome in patients with an established cancer or individuals whose Sweet's syndrome-related hematologic dyscrasia or solid tumor was previously undiscovered; MASS is most commonly related to acute myelogenous leukemia. The dermatosis can precede, follow, or appear concurrent with the diagnosis of the patient's cancer. Hence, MASS can be the cutaneous harbinger of either an undiagnosed visceral malignancy in a previously cancer-free individual or an unsuspected cancer recurrence in an oncology patient.
- Drug-induced Sweet's syndrome (DISS) most commonly occurs in patients who have been treated with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor, however, other medications may also be associated with DISS.
The pathogenesis of Sweet's syndrome may be multifactorial and still remains to be definitively established. Clinical and laboratory evidence suggests that cytokines have an etiologic role.

Status: RecruitingPhase: Phase 1/Phase 2Diagnosis: Brain/Neuro Cancer: Recurrent GlioblastomaNCT ID: NCT01290263 (View complete trial on ClinicalTrials.gov) DFCI Protocol ID: 12-185
Primary Objectives Cohort A ‐‐ monotherapy: To determine the efficacy of AMG 386 in participants with recurrent glioblastoma (GBM) as measured by 6‐month progression‐free survival (PFS6) Cohort B - combination therapy: Phase I To determine the maximum tolerated dose of AMG 386 in combination with bevacizumab given at 10mg/kg every 2 weeks in participants with recurrent glioblastoma. Phase II To determine the efficacy of AMG 386 plus bevacizumab in participants with recurrent glioblastoma (GBM) as measured by 6‐month progression‐free survival (PFS6). Secondary Objectives: To evaluate radiographic response in both cohort populations. To evaluate overall survival in both cohort populations. To assess time‐to‐progression in both cohort populations. To investigate the safety profile in both cohort populations. Exploratory Objectives: To evaluate expression of factors associated with tumor angiogenesis using a multiples cytokine assay among participants undergoing therapy with AMG 386 with response to therapy and development of resistance. This is an open‐label Phase I/II study of AMG 386 monotherapy and AMG 386 in combination with bevacizumab. Two cohorts will accrue and will be assessed sequentially. Each cohort will enroll participants with recurrent GBM. Cohort A will assess recurrent GBM participants who receive AMG 386 monotherapy at 30 g/kg every week. (Cohort A initially accrued at a dose of 15mg/kg, but this was increased to 30 mg/kg every week following an amendment). Cohort B will assess recurrent GBM participants who receive weekly AMG 386 plus bi‐weekly bevacizumab (10mg/kg). Cohort B will start with a Phase I component to determine the MTD of AMG 386 that is safe when used in combination with bevacizumab. AMG 386 is administered intravenously, and, when used in combination with intravenous bevacizumab, will be administered first. Patients will be required to come to the clinic weekly for study drug administration. For study purposes, a cycle of therapy will be 4 weeks. Treatment will continue until either evidence of progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, non‐compliance with study follow‐up, or withdrawal of consent. The estimated rate of accrual is 60 participants per year. The estimated date of accrual completion is 1.5 years from study initiation. The estimated date of study completion will be approximately 12 months from enrollment of the last study participant.

Lifetime Yanks Bristol Palin From Primetime, Replaces Her With 'Dance Moms' Repeats
After barely registering in ratings, "Life's a Tripp" loses its spot to encores in its third week.
After exciting a lot of people with the potential showcased by her high-rated turn on Dancing With the Stars -- and the accompanying media circus -- Bristol Palin may not actually be cut out for reality television.
The 21-year-old daughter of former Alaskan governor Sarah Palin debut her new Lifetime show to rather bleak numbers last week -- and now the network is moving her out of the time period.
STORY: 'Bristol Palin: Life's a Tripp': What the Critics Are Saying
Lifetime confirms to The Hollywood Reporter that Life's a Tripp will now air at 11 p.m. on Tuesdays, an hour after its broadcast of the first two weeks. In its place, the network will air encores of the considerably more successful Dance Moms.
Life's a Tripp, which follows Palin and her son's lives in Los Angeles, debuted to just 726,000 viewers before sinking to 586,000 in its second week.
Adding insult to injury, Palin and Life's a Tripp producers now face a lawsuit from co-stars of her unrealized reality series for BIO. Brothers Christopher and Kyle Massey, the latter being one of Palin's Dancing With the Stars castmates, claim the Lifetime series was their idea.
And that's not much to brag about right now.

ok.... yep I'm the one with all the 'stuff" I'm fixing up rental but THIS one is my fault -my cat pee'd by mistake (litter box was gone to be cleaned for one minute **BAD MOM**) so I first searched for the area (days later) found it, pulled up the carpet, cut out the pad and carpet that was bad. Unfixable soaked etc. The subfloor (100 yr old wood that had seen its better days) and a piece of floor molding was shot. so I cleaned the floor and wood at molding area. with that cat pee killer, kills bacteria etc. let it air for a bunch of days. then kilnz (spelling?) on all wood. let that dry. even caulked the crack between the subfloor and wall. SO..... now I have a piece of baseboard molding primed and painted. (a cr*ppy saw but I'm going to do my best) and I have a carpet repair guy coming tomorrow. It's too tricky for me to fix. here's my dilemma.... when I pulled out the wet floor board, the paint on the plaster wall also came off (with the lovely other colors under it...LOL) so, I see the wall now )lath and plaster. but I see the hard stuff-feels like cement, I know it''s not but it's hard, and the paint did not pull off beyond that point. BUT it IS loose so I could literally pull the entire wall of paint off piece by piece if I wanted too. (not use to old plaster walls) Should I just go get plaster wall mud, (I know it's like sheetrock mud but made for plaster walls) smother it over this area down to the floor and over the loose piece of paint, if I sand the paint down, I swear the entire wall will slowly be coming off. there is no stopping point. Remember it IS just a rental, and the place is not up to code. no lead paint, and it's the back bedroom where cat litter is and spare guest bed. I should do this today, since carpet guy is coming tomorrow then after he is done I can work on replacing the new piece of floor molding. Am I doing the correct thing for the wall?? just putting the "mud" over the area I ripped off? (and of course I will repaint it, seal,prime,paint.....) Any last minute tips ?? Plz?? thank you soooo much. |

Buy the dry plaster compound that you mix with water. It has a very short working time (about 12 minutes according to the label), so only mix a small amount at a time, and start out with a relatively thin layer. Its easier to built it up a little at a time than it is to have a big sanding job at the then. Adding additional water to the mix does not extend the working time because its a chemical reaction as it sets. Just be patient. I would also suggest one of the large drywall sanding pads from Home Depot or Lowes that are about 10" x 4" or larger. It will make it much easier to get a smooth finish. Smaller sanding blocks work okay but you will get ridges and swales because of the size of the block and because many of them are flexible. Larger, less flexible sanding pads work better to smooth out your mistakes. Bruce |
Been there done that! I did what bcarlson78248 said except I was cheap - i used the light weight already mixed drywall patching compound for $6. The trick was to use thin layers of compound and let each layer dry enough to blend it to the adjacent surface. It's impossible to work with when it is completely dry and dusts all over the place. |

it was a gift of luck, to have found this couple, through ads, that were selling their history of art, through mosaic.
having that lady and her husband actually come up with the idea that I can have access to the remaining supplies, as funds are available to me, is something only a conventional loan could provide me.
using the pen and ink, for the base
I know it's going to be rather raw in the beginning, without being able to cut curves like I'd like but still, I'll have a guide, with the drawings.

Any way you hang it it's beautiful. You can't go wrong on this, girlie. Have you considered making a black/white copy, laying it under the glass and go from there? You could even use the TG glass over a color copy, if you don't want to destroy the original. All you need to cut soft curves is a wheeled nipper to nip away. Your pieces don't have to be large to achieve the effect - use the keystone method to go around the curves - cutting strips of the width of your ribbons of color, and then nipping them into the desired width, and keystone them. Google keystoning in mosaic. |

well Jane...I was going to be going to Phoenix soon, cuz a good painting friend is failing. it appears she isn't going to be here much longer and when asked if she wanted me to fly down,she shook her head no. she's on a trach, with ventilator, feeding tube in the stomach, platelets are dropping rapidly and they gave her yet two more units of blood this afternoon. she sleeps most of the time... her daughter feels she's going to slip away very soon now. if she does decline and dies, I'm going to really want to leave town and if you can handle me up there for a bit...I'd LOVE...LOVE....LOVE to come up to your place. I've wanted to for so long now anyway,..... let's keep close on this plan, if you don't mind~~~ the first position of the drawing, I see a lady, with baby wrapped in cloth.. guess I better choose a window that's equally square, so it can go any way, at any time. |
You might want to try a hand-held tool called ''Oil Hand Cutter,'' Toyo brand. You can cut some nice curves with it. I bought mine at a stained glass shop. The fused glass instructor where I took a class told us that you don't have to keep oil in the tool; just use it without oil, so I started doing that and it works fine. |

thank you...gotta be checking that out... there are so many nice sized pieces, that it should be a good thing to convert to. I may also be adding a whole lot more color into it, rather than the straight forward 3 main colors. heck, by the time I start the adhesive, I may have a modified drawing, too....lol |

Nice bunch of glass you have there! I have lots of ways to cut glass, so when you come up, we can explore those options and get you going. I am sorry to hear about your friend, may God be with her. I was emailing a friend about what I have been up to and she said I sounded manic!!!lol! I just feel so good!!, getting healthy again and getting caught up with all the things I've wanted to do, that I'm givin' er, and can't believe how getting hollowed out like a pumpkin/hysterectomy!lol!, has been so good for me, wish I had done this yrs ago!!!

For your consideration is a Canadian Air Force Mess Dress Jacket from 1960. This belonged to First Officer L.P. Ricks and was issued to him on December 2, 1960. This was custom tailored at Fairbairn's Mens Wear in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba, Canada. This shows minor wear. The main body of the jacket is 100% wool - fully lined, with quilted satin - charcoal grey blue with gold accents - star patches at cuffs - gold eagle and crown stamped buttons - stylish cropped fit - hem falls at high waist - There is a Canada patch on each shoulder and a patch at the front. Measurements: Shoulders - 18" across Sleeves- 24 inches from shoulder to cuff Waist -32"- 34" circumference Length - 20 inches This displays well and is a nice piece, of a Canadian Military uniform. Please browse my shop for other interesting collectibles. I am Doll-lighted to Meet You!
Here is more information on Mess Dress: Mess dress is the military term for the formal evening dress worn by military officers in the mess or at other formal occasions. It is also known as mess uniform and mess kit. It frequently consists of a mess jacket and trousers worn with a formal shirt and other formal accessories, though the exact form varies depending on the uniform regulations for each service.
This style of military dress is largely restricted to the British, Commonwealth of Nations and United States armed forces, though it is also sometimes worn by members of civilian uniformed services and members of a Royal Household. The French, Imperial German, and other navies adopted their own versions of mess dress during the late nineteenth century, influenced by the Royal Navy. While predominantly a uniform worn by commissioned officers for whom it is mandatory, it may also be worn as an optional uniform by senior enlisted personnel in the U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force, and by non-commissioned officers in the British Army and Royal Air Force.

text: The Day Kennedy Died: 50 Years Later LIFE Remembers the Man and the Moment also casts a skeptical eye on conspiracy theories (the hill of beans they don't amount to occupies 13 pages) and says it's only ''controversy'' itself that ''swirled and continues to swirl.'' This coffee-table book recycles much of the magazine's classic photojournalism, including stills from the Zapruder film, for which LIFE paid $150,000 in 1963. But the motorcade down memory lane takes a few new detours. We get to see frame 313, the head shot as if we hadn't seen it in Oliver Stone's JFK and we have reminiscences from the likes of Maya Angelou, Bill O'Reilly, and Barbra Streisand about where they were on what's called, inevitably, ''that autumn day.''

Mark of The Beast is an easy to do routine using Tarot cards. It plays upon people's natural reticence about the intrinsic power and evil nature of the cards.
You show a small packet of Tarot to your volunteer, and explain about the evil influence the Tarot can have, and how they are said to be the playthings of the devil. The volunteer is invited to touch the face of any one of the cards. They do so and when the cards are turned over one by one they are all seen to be unmarked on the back….except the chosen card. This has the mark of the beast, 666 on its back.
There is NO force, the volunteer has a completely free choice. Instant re-set, ready to go again with a different card. NO cards are added or taken away. Simple to do.
Cost: £8.00

Now, where were we? We had just been talking about how much work it took to make words appear on a page at the time of Walter Map, and we were probably about to draw some sort of conclusion from that observation.
The article you're reading now occupies no paper at all. Practically speaking, there are no limits to how long it can be, which is to say that the theoretical limit runs into so many millions of words that it's not even worth calculating.
It's easy to see the effect of that boundless horizon. I digress as much as I like, follow asides wherever they lead me, and take as long as I like to get to the point. If I don't like what I've been writing, I can rearrange it, or revise it, or just delete it and start over. The computer forgives sloppiness so easily that it actually encourages sloppiness.
But suppose I had just one sheet of paper to work on, and that was all I got. How would that change my writing?
I might start thinking before I wrote. I might even decide that I had to make every word count, and that I should use just as many words as I needed to make my point, and no more.
Are you beginning to wish I had only one sheet of paper instead of megabytes of Web space?
Walter Map obviously had more than one sheet of paper to work with, but his resources were precious. As we already saw, every drop of ink represented quite a bit of work.
When we looked at Walter Map in The Grail Code, we dwelt at length on the meticulous construction of the Grail romances. Not a word is wasted; as Etienne Gilson pointed out, you can't find ten lines together written merely for the pleasure of storytelling. Everything is a small cog in the great machine. Like a perfectly designed clock, the Lancelot cycle has nothing missing and nothing superfluous: no details for their own sake, but everything for the larger purpose.
In other words, we might say that the meticulous work involved in the physical act of writing expresses itself in the meticulous construction of the romances. The mere fact that writing itself was so much labor must have encouraged the writer to labor as much on the structure of the work.
We might say, in fact, that one of the reasons Walter Map's romances are so profound and so full of meaning is the simple fact that it was a lot of work to write in those days.
Which leads me into a discussion of the revolutions in writing technology—a discussion that will be even more self-indulgent than usual. You've been warned. I'll bet that single-sheet-of-paper idea is starting to sound pretty good to you.

I do enjoy reading the comments of our very own Gordon Gecko wannabe - "A Business Man" - but, like any one-trick act, his material is getting a little stale. Perhaps, sir, you think yourself to be the next Jack Benny, the lovable old miser from the Golden Age of Radio and early TV. It's a pretty tough act to follow, ABM, Jack was genuinely funny, and was fortunate to have the gifted Eddie "Rochester" Anderson as his comic foil. Maybe you should think of using a sidekick as well. Perhaps Michael J. Fox as an aging "Alex P. Keaton"? Or Donald Trump playing himself? Both are equally funny, but Trump's ongoing role as a pompous twit is getting long in the tooth and, like yourself, he could do with a change of material as well. I offer these suggestions in good faith Mr. "Business Man" because, and I'm sorry to be frank here, Jack Benny had a far better act. Then again, even he didn't take his act seriously.

Dear fake business man, What an idiot! Where do you think your foodstuffs come from that magically appear in your city supermarkets, you dumbkoff? From Rural areas. in case you need that pointed out. Tourists come in 'droves' not 'groves.' Makes me wonder at the level of your so-called Education.
- a business man
- March 22, 2013 - 11:36
Good Question! I get foodstuffs from rural Saskatchewan, rural Manitoba, rural Ontario and so on. I would be perfectly fine with the complete demise or rural Newfoundland. Like I said before, I want rural Newfoundland to fail because I MIGHT get more city customers as a result of relocation. That said, Canada will always have rural areas to provide food and livestock. But lets be real....Canada is a big country that can get by without the existence of rural Newfoundland. Some individuals would actually be better off without the existence of rural Newfoundland. I am one of them, Plain and Simple.

Rural Newfoundlander: I understand you are appalled, but that changes nothing for me. I would accept rural Newfoundlanders money and I am strongly against rural Newfoundland. I cannot force people to move to the city, and I cannot make rural Newfoundland fail independently. BUT I certainly have the right to cheer and hope for the failure of rural Newfoundland because I presume it to be in my best interest. I might be wrong, but I am allowed to be wrong too. The reality is that I get no benefit from rural newfoundland now, and I lose nothing if I do not gain any customers from rural Newfoundland. So my position has no downside for me. I realize Newfoundlanders province wide are being affected by the EAS offices closing, and I am okay with that too. Why should I as a taxpayer pay for some stranger to learn who to write their resume or prepare a business plan and how to find a job when I learned those things in school that I paid for? Why would I accept that I have to pay for something and then I have to pay for some stranger to get the same thing for free. On principle, I would prefer that they paid for the service like it did. On that note, I am ecstatic that the EAS offices are closed. A I am greedy - I admit it. But I worked hard to but myself through law school and business school, so I oppose the government taking my tax dollars to give others help that I was not given. Fair is fair, and the closure of the EAS is fair. s an investor, I do not see the benefit of investing in a population that gives our province character and contributes greatly to it economic status. I do not make any money from the tourists that come to Newfoundland in groves not only to see our wonderful City sites but to visit all parts of Newfoundland. I would prefer it if the tourist ONLY saw the City sites and ignored rural Newfoundland.

If only "A Business Man" had the courage of his convictions and, in the interest of full disclosure, provided the name of his business or business interests with his regular Ayn Randian rants. Fully informed consumers could then decide whether or not to support him. Most likely, methinks, our "Business Man's" business experience is limited to playing online Monoply while reading Atlas Shrugged under the bedsheets at night.

People should realize that rural areas throughout North America, indeed the whole world are slowly dying. This is not unique to this province. Unfortunately, we cannot continue to prop up areas where nobody wants to live anymore. Young people move out and don't want to return. Rural municipal councils continue to refuse to cooperate. They're not happy until there's a fire truck in every town. And they weren't happy unless there was a fishplant in every town. We all know how that helped the fishery. For years, greedy politicians caved in to this lack of cooperation to buy votes. We simply can't do it anymore. It's long past the time for rationalization. We are a small population with too many small schools, too many expensive ferries, and generally too much infrastructure to maintain. We'll never get our finances straightened out if we continue to refuse to cooperate. As for this crock about Tory times being hard times, let's remember that it was the Liberals who gave ownership of our fishery to the Federal government, who gave away Churchill Falls, who brought in the resettlement program. Need I say more. By the way, I'm not a Tory supporter, but you can only listen to so much.

Great Post! Rural are in North America are a strain on public sector finances. I don't care if the rural towns have a firetruck or a fish plant. I just not want my tax dollars to propping up these areas. I would rather see them fail. They can have all the schools they want, or they can have none. Again, I don't care either way, but I certainly do not want to pay. Rural Newfoundland has to sink or swim on its own merits, and I am honest enough to say that I hope it sinks so that their relocation might lead to more customers for my city-based-businesses.

Frankly, as a taxpayer and citizen, I unequivocally do not care about rural Newfoundland. I live in the city, and there are lots of jobs in the city. I am an investor, and I don't have any business interests in rural Newfoundland. So as far as I am concerned, rural Newfoundland should sink or swim on it merits. Personally, I want it to sink, simply because I have businesses in the city, and if rural Newfoundland dies, then I will get more customers. I am a loyal Tory supporter, and I support the decisions of this government. I support Muskrat Falls, I support the elimination of the Employment Assistance Services. I support the export of raw fish, and I support CETA. I am a Newfoundland taxpayer and voter, and I don't care about rural Newfoundland. So while the author of this article may be unhappy with the Tories, unless his position is back by the majority of the electorate, then his position is meaningless. Frankly, because rural Newfoundland has so few voters, the majority is best served by simply ignoring the interests of rural Newfoundland. I certainly do.

"Frankly" I am appalled that a BUSINESS MAN who would unequivocally accept rural Newfoundlanders money would be so against rural Newfoundland. EAS offices are not only rurally located. All Newfoundlanders and areas there off, are being affected by the loss of these offices. Many citizens in "the city" utilize these services as well and it is a pity that more "Frank Business Men" are not aware of this fact. It is a pity that as a Business Man you to could not see the potential that these offices also provide to employers looking to hire individuals through programs such as NL Wage Subsidy, offered through, the help of these EAS offices. As an investor, it a shame that one would not see the benefit of investing in a population that gives our province character and contributes greatly to it economic status. Tourists come to Newfoundland in groves not only to see our wonderful City sites but to visit all parts of Newfoundland. To smell the Ocean, visit quaint, welcoming rural towns that have rightly earned the respect and love of many. Assistance from these offices come in a number of forms whether it be with a resume, job search or even help with a business plan. I am sure that at some point a Business Man (albeit greedy or not so successful if he needs the customers from rural Newfoundland to help him gain business) may have also needed help at some point as well. As a rural Newfoundlander, I am dismayed by the comments and the thought that a Business Man would be ignorant enough to feel that because we do not live in the City, that we too do not deserve this same assistance. Assistance that is so graciously provided by the EAS employees. However, I am glad that I have the sense to realize that not all people feel this way and unlike some individuals, I would not hold it against someone who lives in the City just because these comments come from someone who obviously does.

Actually, the liberals were in power at the start of the Great Depression and followed by Commission Government. Tory times are tough, Liberal times are tough. Perhaps the Captain can tell us of a time that was not "tough".

For God's sake Paul, er.. I mean John Smith, Just shut up. The PC's have been in for 10 years getting the most money the province has ever recieved. We are still in the hole, mainly due to Nalcor and bad policy. A monkey could handle expenses better than a politican.

NL wasn't even part of Canada during the depression, let alone having the same PC party as we have today. When the Liberals were turfed out in '03 we had a 13 billion dollar debt, the highest tax rate, the highest poverty rate, and the highest unemployment rate in Atlantic Canada...now we have the lowest. And you say Tory times are hard times? Liberal times were the worst times...the Liberals like Joe Smallwood, Roger Grimes and Brian Tobin...those were the guys who sold us down the river....not the PCs...

And then came oil John. A gift from heaven. Little Man Dan just happened to be in the right place at the right time. What have the Tories done with all their gifted largess? Pissed it up a pole despite advice from everywhere to stash some away for a rainy day. A constitutency scandal like no other and fire trucks doled out like Christmas cards. Worst thing is Newfoundlanders can be buried in bullshit and still love it. Grow up Smith, or is that Steve or Paul?

There are many definitions of tipping point in use today, especially in the sciences. In academia tipping point tends to be used in different ways according to the discipline in which it is used, however, there are also some interesting similarities. Below are some examples of how tipping point is used in the physical and social sciences (in a future post we'll look at examples from the biological sciences).
The term 'tipping point' originates from research in the social sciences, mainly sociology. Recently it has been fashionable with physical scientists, particularly those that study climate change. In these examples tipping point is used to refer to a range of different phenomena including the Earth's climate system, water anomalies, suicide rates and war. Note that in the abstract from a mathematics journal 'tipping point' appears indistinguishable from 'critical transition', which seems to be preferred by scientists as tipping point is often avoided because it seems too emotive or ambiguous.
In climate science especially tipping point tends to have a negative connotation because it refers to global disaster. Critical transition avoids this and perhaps even sounds a bit more 'scientific', although it is also used in the humanities. Work Package 5 of the Tipping Points project which is led by humanities researchers is actually called 'Critical Transitions', so even this term seems highly cross-disciplinary.
'We will introduce some of the 63 anomalies of water, and will demonstrate some recent progress in solving them using concepts borrowed from various disciplines including chemistry and physics. In particular, we will present evidence from experiments designed to test the hypothesis that water displays a special transition point (which is not unlike the ''tipping point'' immortalized in Malcolm Gladwell's book of the same title). The general idea that when water is near this tipping point, it can separate into two distinct liquid phases distinguished by their density. This new concept of a critical point is also proving useful in understanding some of the anomalies of other liquids, such as silicon, silica, and carbon.'
Stanley, HE; Kumar, P; Xu, L, et al., (2007) The puzzling unsolved mysteries of liquid water: Some recent progress, PHYSICA A-STATISTICAL MECHANICS AND ITS APPLICATIONS
Climate Science
'In discussions of global change, the term tipping point has been used to describe a variety of phenomena, including the appearance of a positive feedback, reversible phase transitions, phase transitions with hysteresis effects, and bifurcations where the transition is smooth but the future path of the system depends on the noise at a critical point. We offer a formal definition, introducing the term ''tipping element'' to describe subsystems of the Earth system that are at least subcontinental in scale and can be switched—under certain circumstances—into a qualitatively different state by small perturbations. The tipping point is the corresponding critical point—in forcing and a feature of the system—at which the future state of the system is qualitatively altered.'
Lenton, TM; Held, H; Kriegler, E, et al., (2008) Tipping elements in the Earth's climate system, PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Political Science
'The first survey, conducted in June of last year, found that only the war in Iraq had reached the "tipping point"-the moment at which a large portion of the public begins to demand that the government address its concerns.' P 115.
Yankelovich, D, (2006) The tipping points, FOREIGN AFFAIRS
'A critical transition (or tipping point) is a rapid sudden change of a time-dependent system. For the introduction we shall rely on this intuitive notion; the mathematical development starts in Sect. 2. Typical examples of critical transitions are drastic changes in the climate (Lenton et al. 2008; Alley et al. 2003), in ecological systems (Clark et al. 2001; Carpenter et al. 2008), in medical conditions (Elger and Lehnertz 1998; Venegas et al. 2005) or in economics (Hong and Stein 2003; Huang and Wang 2008). Reviews of recent progress to develop early-warning signals for these critical transitions from an applied perspective can be found in (Scheffer et al. 2009; Scheffer 2009). The goal of a mathematical theory should be to provide qualitative and quantitative conditions to check whether a drastic change in a dynamical system can be predicted before it occurs; note that it is obvious that certain transitions are very difficult to predict, for example, due to large noise effects (Ditlevsen and Johnsen 2010) or non-smooth transitions (Hastings and Wysham 2010).'
Kuehn, Christian (2013) A Mathematical Framework for Critical Transitions: Normal Forms, Variance and Applications JOURNAL OF NONLINEAR SCIENCE
'One sociological concept that appears worthy of examination in this context is the "tipping point" postulated by Tittle and Rowe (1973). This concept implies that there is a background base rate of a phenomenon resulting from many factors, and that, once breached, this threshold allows for a dramatic increase in the phenomenon. The tipping point has been used to explain variations in crime rates, where there have been marked changes over relatively short periods of time, changes otherwise difficult to ascribe to any one intervention (Brown, 1978). Recently, this has been observed in the dramatic decrease in crime in New York City.

Well, As the first real step towards focusing on my photography I decided to get booked on a course at The Trained Eye in Amersham. I have been looking at their courses since I first got in to portraiture but what with going to Japan I had never really thought seriously about doing one. I saw that there was a space at the 2 day wedding workshop and I decided to get myself on it! It was AMAZING! there are no other words! I came away sooooo exhausted and completely FULL to the brim with new info to take on board for every single side of my photography! Honestly, I learnt so much (prob. more than I've ever really learnt in 2 day EVER, hehe)!
On the first day we met David McNeil who talked about his style and how to find your own style – I absolutely LOVE his style, it's so quirky and bright and he has an amazing eye for lines! Very inspirational! Then we met Jodie Chapman, her style is alot more traditional and so so beautifully stunning! Her eye for detail is incredible! She talked us through every step of shooting a wedding from being in contact with the bride and groom to be right through to the end of the wedding day. It was amazingly detailed and I took 12 pages of notes!!!! In the afternoon we went on a shoot at Bisham Abbey, We got to shoot one couple and one bride. It was great! But man, I wish we could of spent more time taking photos, I would have loved to spend another hour shooting with David and Jodie It was really awesome to be to ask them for advice, help and watch them work!
On the second day we met David Morgan – well, what can I say… what an inspirational guy!!! He was so down to earth and easy to talk to and FULL of information (and yeah his photography is incredible)!!! He talked us through all the business side of setting up and running a wedding photography business and touched on some post processing gold! Again… I took a LOT of notes!
Well all in all I had an amazing 2 days… and I'm thinking of getting myself on their Academy course starting next February… these are very VERY exciting times!
Here are my photos from the shoot we did on the first day and edited with my new found knowledge in adobe lightroom and photoshop… I've had so much fun editing these photos! Can't wait to get out shooting some couples and doing some weddings (^_^)

Curry & Co.Matt Curry, president of Curry & Co., Brooks, Ore., said the two-pound sweet onion bag helps it stand out.Onion shippers are prepared to pack in a variety of sizes and styles. In fact, some shippers have said that despite some trends, standard sizes have gone out the window.
Delbert Bland, president of Glennville, Ga.-based Bland Farms, said there's really no normal pack size for onions anymore.
"There's really no such thing as a standard pack anymore. It's a very wide variation of all sizes," he said.
Many companies say that packing to order is the best way to manage all these pack styles.
"We run each order to order. We don't pack them ahead," Bland said.
Others agree that there are multiple popular bag sizes.
"We pack in cartons and all sizes of packs, mainly the 2-, 3-, 5- and 10-pound bags, with a lot of different carton sizes as well." said Bill Coombs, sales, Desert Spring Produce, Hatch, N.M.
Shippers say advances in packing technology have helped get the industry to this point.
"We can be a lot more precise with sizing now, so that allows us to size to the exact consumer need," Bland said.
Others agree that new packing technology is helpful when it comes to accuracy, as well as speed.
"The speed and accuracy with which we can pack allows us to stage loads prior to the truck arriving to pick up. This is important to trucking companies since they no longer can afford to wait to get loaded," said Chris Franzoy, president of Young Guns Produce Inc., Deming, N.M.
Retailers have also played a part in developing the many onion pack sizes and styles, because they often seek to offer multiple options to shoppers, particular in bagged and bulk options.
"It seems the trend is for retailers to present onions in more than one format, which is great because it provides more exposure for the category," said Dan Borer, general manager for Greencastle, Pa.-based Keystone Fruit Marketing Inc.
Despite sizing differences, more and more bags seem to be used.
"The trend over the last several years is for more consumer bags," Bland said.
John Shuman, president and director of sales, Shuman Produce Inc., Reidsville, Ga., agreed bags are gaining ground in the market.
"We've seen the popularity of our consumer bags steadily increase since their introduction to the market. They currently account for just under half of our total annual volume shipped to market," he said in an e-mail.
In addition, Matt Curry, president of Curry & Co., Brooks, Ore., said bag sales are strongest at the beginning of each month.

Smiles all round as new NHS dentist opens its doors in Worthing
Friday 29th July, 2011
Seeing a NHS dentist is now even easier for people in Worthing as a new NHS dental practice opens in the town.
The Tooth Booth practice is opening on Monday 1st August at 13 Broadwater Boulevard, next to Broadwater Medical Centre – and can take on more than 5,000 NHS patients.
It is a completely new practice for the town and local people who are looking for an NHS dentist can request an appointment by calling the team at Tooth Booth on 01903 202 411, emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or visiting their website www.toothbooth.co.uk and clicking on "Find A Practice".
Coming to Worthing to make a difference
David Abraham, Operations Manager at Tooth Booth, said: "We are delighted to be opening a new dental practice for NHS patients in Worthing.
"We already have established dental practices across the South East and we are looking forward to bringing that experience to Worthing to provide NHS treatment for the people of the town.
"Our new practice provides state-of-the-art facilities, with disabled access and the highest standards of hygiene.
"It will be open from 8.30am to 5pm. People will be able to receive general dental care and urgent treatment."
Local NHS investing in dentistry
The new practice has been possible thanks to a major £1.8million investment in dentistry across the county by the local NHS.
The investment has increased capacity at a number of existing practices in West Sussex and is leading to three new practices opening in Crawley, Worthing and Chichester.
Altogether the money will mean an extra 5,700 people a year in the Worthing area will be able to see an NHS dentist and an extra 25,000 across the whole of West Sussex.
Working hard to increase NHS dentists taking on new patients
David Grant, West Sussex's Dental Contracts Manager, said: "We are very pleased to be working with the team at Tooth Booth to create a new practice for people in Worthing.
"We have been working very hard in recent years to increase the number of NHS dentists available across West Sussex, and this new practice proves our ongoing commitment to improve access for everyone to dental services in this county.
"One in four of NHS dental practices in West Sussex are taking on new patients and the latest figures show that 92 per cent of people in West Sussex who have tried to get an appointment with an NHS dentist in the last two years have been successful. And Tooth Booth in Worthing will increase that even further.
"If you are looking for an NHS dentist, you can get details of all the West Sussex dental practices accepting new NHS patients from the Sussex NHS Dental Helpline on 0300 1000 899 or the NHS Choices website www.nhs.uk."
The number of people seeing an NHS dentist in West Sussex is continuing to rise – currently it is around 432,000 people across the county – a rise from the end of 2007 when that was just 403,000.
This extra investment follows on from an additional £1.5m spent during 2008/9 to secure NHS dentistry for approximately 20,000 new patients.
To make an appointment at Tooth Booth in Worthing -
- Call the team on 01903 202 411,
- Email email@example.com
- Or visiting their website www.toothbooth.co.uk and click on "Find A Practice"

Comments about K&L Standard Carburetor Repair Kit:
This did work for what I need it for to get my Virago 1100 working again. It is NOT a full rebuild kit. It has no jets or screws. But it is a good kit just get a can of B12 for when you do rebuild and you should be fine.

Pretty strait forward

All in all I felt like this product was great. My only complaint, (hardly one) is that the float bowl gasket wasn't molded into shape, so getting it to cooperate required a little silicon on the recessed parts of the bowl cap. Other than that, everything was great.
just what i needed
