Customer Raves & Reviews
love our programs!
my fiance and i searched high and low for the perfect program to capture the outdoorsy setting for our intimate wedding. these programs were perfect, and easy to change colors, text, etc. just got them in the mail yesterday and am beyond pleased. even the texture is spot on. :)
Great Wedding Programs!
I had to get my programs approved by the church - these were nice and simple (and matched my save-the-dates)! Unfortunately, the church took forever to approve my outline, so I didn't know if I'd be able to get them in time. The site estimated the shipment arriving on Thursday, gave me a tracking number, and everything went smoothly! I liked that the pamphlets were just front and back - not a booklet you have to go through. They were made out of nice cardstock (nice and sturdy) - and the colors turned out just like online. Overall, so happy with these programs!
Great Service
The service was excellent and the cards came out beautifully. I couldn't have asked for a better site to do my save the dates, invites, and ceremony pamphlets.
Programs are great!
The programs were fun and easy to make and came to a good price. I love them! They looked great when they arrived - just like they looked online.
The programs matched perfectly with our Candlelit Mason Jar invitations. We had a medium size bridal party which was hard to fit everyone's names on the back, but after a bit of manipulation everything looked perfect!

Reveal! Coastal Modern Kitchen
Hi all--
It's been a while since I've been on here since I've been busy trying to move back into our house and take care of endless additional details--and move on to landscaping. But I did want to share some photos and details for the GW crowd who has been so helpful to me. What a great resource all of you are collectively--special thanks to Trebuchet and Texasgal for some great insights and advice. Many questions were answered here and other forums--from how many amps I needed for my house to details on DW air gaps. To all--many many thanks! I served as my own kitchen designer here (though our architect conceived the layout) and I'm pretty pleased with the results.
We have a Southern California ranch house built in 1960 that was in largely original condition. The home sits on a beautiful canyon in a great location which is why we bought it. We love this era of architecture and knew we could turn the house into our dream home.
BEFORE -- Our kitchen last June, when we bought this house:
See boxed in kitchen & all the walls and halls we got rid of:
AFTER -- July 25 we moved back in (one month late)!
Floor: Salerno Dove 12 x 24" tile, Eleganza Tile
Cabinets: IKEA Sofielund. IKEA Applad doors for certain upper cabinets.
Hardware: Top Knobs Sanctuary II Collection, Polished Chrome. -- these had quality control issues. A lot of dings and scratched on these--I sent back two batches and had to inspect each one. But I love the look.
Appliances: IKEA Nutid line--Convection Oven, Microwave, Electric Cooktop, Refrigerator. IKEA Renlig integrated DW. IKEA Kovartig wall mounted extractor hood. All made by Whirlpool in USA except MW, which was made by Electrolux in Sweden.
Countertops: Corian Glacier White in matte finish. People who have read my posts can see I have become somewhat an evangelist for this material. Probably because when I started this process I *knew* was getting a whitish quartz (Silestone, Caesarstone or some such thing) because that's what I had been eyeing for years. Then I did all the research we all do on various matters and fell in love with these European kitchens with white Corian. And I do love it installed--the feel of it is really nice--not glassy. I would say however, that if I did it again, I would choose something white with a fleck or slight pattern in it. Good thing Corian is easy to clean because any smudge or greasy fingerprint shows on a bright white countertop that has no variation. The dirt on the granite in my last home always was hidden by the mottled beigey pattern and I hated that I could never tell if the countertops were dirty. Now, I am on the other end of that spectrum. But I do love Corian and think it's overlooked by most folks on GW (previously by myself as well!).
Sink: speaking of Corian--this is the Angolo sink, part of the Corian Vaso Collection. I was unaware it was possible to fall in love with a sink. But I absolutely love this one. This is coolest thing about my new counters and kitchen. And I got that roll out dish drying rack everyone on GW told me about from Amazon!
Faucet: Blanco Linus Pull Out w/Dual Spray, Polished Chrome. I can't remember how many I looked at but I am glad I picked this one. It's great!
Backsplash: Modwalls Brio Blend Cool Pool, glass tile. I had a lot of issues with this and had custom ordered tile that turned out looking like nothing I had expected. Luckily the team there is all about customer satisfaction and quickly solved my issue.
Windows: Milgard Aluminum w/Matteluxe glass. I reduced the height and increased the length of these windows from what was in the previous kitchen and switched them to frosted for some privacy while still providing light--they overlook the front door. The windows are exactly the height of the backsplash and I ran the Corian countertop directly into the window sill so it finishes at the window frame--I have no sill. It looks awesome. And using Corian, this can be seamless.
Under-cabinet Lights: No idea actually--some kind of LED.
Outlets: Notice no outlets on the backsplash, except one req'd per code by the cooktop. The rest are on a "raceway" underneath the upper cabinets. I love this feature! Outlets required by code at either end of island are Legrand Adorne.
I think that's it. We love our new home and well-functioning kitchen. I am so mentally exhausted from this project, however. I can't wait to really enjoy this house after we get some new furniture in here and the yard in shape and I can just relax and enjoy the fruit of my labor.
What a gorgeous space! Your design works so well with your home. I love the modern, simple lines combined with varying texture and interesting details. The sink and countertop are just amazing! I was excited to read that it is Corian. I also just installed Corian in my remodel and love it--as you said it feels so good to the touch. And it is so nice not to have to stress over stains, chips, cracks, etc. As they say, "this ain't your momma's Corian"! Thanks for sharing your lovely space!
Nice job! It's so serene. I love the blue on the island, great with your backsplash. Can you tell me about the roll out dish drying rack you got from Amazon? I haven't heard about it. If you have a picture, I'd appreciate being able to see it.
Thank you for sharing. Enjoy your wonderful new kitchen.
This is going to be a joy to live in.
Imagine when those windows are revealing your new landscaping as well as all that light.
I really love looking at your kitchen. It wouldn't fit in my home, but it fits perfectly here. The corian is perfect here, and the touch of bright blues, and . . . . .
So happy for you that your dream came true.
OH! OH! OH! Perfect kitchen for your house!
That's the way I like to see corian; in all its simple glory.
Confession I've never been to IKEA. I'm just a farm girl with a bit of agoraphobia BUT your kitchen has changed all that! I just love it. Especially the white appliances.
Really, really nice! I'll keep this for future use when/if I should ever redo a condo kitchen. Definitely a European vibe.
Ice: How well have the Applad cabinets held up?
Nosoccermon. Im sorry I was not clear. i have white refridge. White oven In my kitchen. I dont have a Ikea kitchen. Sorry for beiging unclear.
wow - i love the island with the waterfall and the sink. I have been debating between thassos pentalquartz and corian and I keep going back and forth between the two. anything else you can add re: choosing corian. also i love your sink. i thought i would do stainless steel and never even considered corian-- worried about staining plus you cant easily replace it. would love to hear more about that decision too.
i heard that corian white yellows -- have you heard that? did that worry you.
thank you
So sleek and bright. Love the waterfall counters and integrated sink. Enjoy your new space in good health and cheer!
Chris- S*T*U*N*N*I*N*G !!!!
I love the contrast between uppers and lowers - and LOVE the color choice for the lowers.
We should have a round-robin dinner sometime and show off / enjoy our kitchens :)
I'll have pics this week - I HOPE - of our mostly finished one!!
Wow, I love what you've done with the place!
It's very interesting that you eventually chose Corian over Quartz. What went into that decision?
Also, what are raceway outlets?
Love how cohesive all the elements are. I particularly like the tile with cabinets, and the small bit of white cabinetry in the corner. It all looks nicely balanced to me, and also, totally right for the house. You should be a kitchen designer!
Hi all--I realize that I never replied back to the questions on my own thread so finally turning back to this. I realize likely no one who cared months ago cares now, but hey. A month after we moved back in we headed off to Hawaii for our destination wedding following by mainland-side reception a month after that (hosted at the 'new' house), then the holidays so it was a crazy year for our family.
Anyway--the questions:
**Bicyclegirl** "Can you tell me about the roll out dish drying rack you got from Amazon? I haven't heard about it. If you have a picture, I'd appreciate being able to see it.'
See link below--this thing is brilliant, but you need an under mount sink to make this work.
**housebuilder14** "wow - i love the island with the waterfall and the sink. I have been debating between thassos pentalquartz and corian and I keep going back and forth between the two. anything else you can add re: choosing corian. also i love your sink. i thought i would do stainless steel and never even considered corian-- worried about staining plus you cant easily replace it. would love to hear more about that decision too. i heard that corian white yellows -- have you heard that? did that worry you.
**Hydragea** "Wow, I love what you've done with the place! It's very interesting that you eventually chose Corian over Quartz. What went into that decision?
Also, what are raceway outlets?'
On the Corian points--now that it's been installed for 5 months or so I can render a preliminary verdict. We absolutely love it! It always looks so clean, is not prone to damage, and cleans up very easily. I love that we can bleach it to disinfect periodically as well (don't do that to granite or quartz). The sink is a real treat--there are no dings or scratches like there were almost instantly after I installed a new stainless steel sink in my last place. And the stainless one *always* looked grungy unless I had just cleaned it. Not so with the Corian sink (and wouldn't be true of any other white enamel sink). And just a little elbow grease applied to the entire surface and it looks perfect again. Just remember--Corian does NOT stain. It is non-porous and stains cannot penetrate the surface. If it appears stained it just needs to be cleaned.
Re Corian yellowing, I don't think that's true. Colored Corian like colored Quartz is not necessarily color stable and will change under intense light (I've read of people having faded quartz counters in areas that are directly under a skylight for example). However, white Corian is entirely UV stable and is certified by the manufacturer for outdoor use in direct sunlight. In Europe and Australia they've even used it to clad the exterior of buildings, so yellowing doesn't happen with this stuff.
Re the decision between Quartz and a Solid Surface--it really came down to the fact that we had seen so many great contemporary kitchen photos that had used Corian we decided we wanted the same look too. And then as we researched it, I fell in love with the integrated sink option from the Vaso collection, ZERO visible seams, the low maintenance of it, and the texture and look of the samples we saw in showrooms. The DS even says, after living with it, we can't imagine having anything else in the future. The manufacturer claims that their customer satisfaction rate is something like 98%...we are among those pleased with our decision.
Re the raceway outlets--these are outlets mounted on the underside of the cabinets--like a power strip. So we've got tons of power for mixers and blenders and such but no ugly outlets marring my beautiful backsplash :)
Good luck to all in their projects!
Here is a link that might be useful: roll up dish rack
Thanks for getting back to us Chris. Your year sounds like it was insane. Kind of like mine...but I didn't get married, nor did I get to go to Hawaii! Congratulations on your marriage.
I'm getting my countertops & sink next week & it will be undermount, so it's great that you sent this. I had forgotten about it but am thrilled you got back w/ the info.
Thank you again & enjoy your beautiful kitchen.

Controlling Chaos: Kevin Osborn
by Amanda Quintenz-Fiedler
Kevin Osborn
Splash #39
April 01, 2010 — Sitting across the table in a muted Hawaiian shirt, close-trimmed beard and wire-rimmed glasses, Kevin Osborn looks like a quirky high school science teacher. The vibrant crystalline structures in his most recent series of photographs, "Crystal Melts," where Osborn used meticulous scientific methods to create stunning imagery, more than reinforces this impression, as does the way his eyes light up as he starts to discuss his love of the natural world, photography and education. With his unique and dedicated vision, Osborn has learned to harness the physical world and explore the unpredictable with precision.

It's common knowledge that we all should be doing more to save energy, not only for the environment but also to save money on your utility bills. The main problem is knowing where to start…what kind of things can you actually do to save energy?
Below are 8 energy tips:
Turn the thermostat down
A nice little tip is to turn your thermostat down just slightly. Only a few degrees can save you $100 a year.
Wear extra clothing
When it starts to get colder don't instantly turn on the heating. Instead, put on a jumper, double up your socks, have a blanket over you while sitting down, and even put on a hat! Basically, only use the heating when it starts to get really cold.
Less shower pressure
Taking a power shower often feels invigorating, but it is energy efficient? Unfortunately not, and this is why people are now being actively encouraged to turn down the the pressure on their shower in order to use less water.
Cook efficiently
One of the easiest ways to save energy around the home is to cook efficiently What does this mean? Well, instead of cooking meals every day, you should aim to cook a few meals in one go, which then leads to using the oven less.
Fill your dishwasher and washing machine
Do you find that you have the habit of using appliances such as the dishwasher and washing machine when they are only half full? If this is the case, then stop immediately as you are wasting valuable energy. Always fill them completely to save the most amount of energy possible.
Switch energy company
You should seriously consider switching to a company such as PPL if you want to save energy, and most importantly, money!
Get rid of the tumble dryer
The vast majority of households now have a tumble dryer to help with drying clothes, but in the vast majority of cases these machines use up an obscene amount of energy. With this in mind, it's probably a good idea to get rid of the tumble dryer and start drying all your clothes outside.
Another energy saving tip is to get as much insulation as you can in order to stop valuable heat from leaving the house. This means wall insulation and loft insulation…it's a great way to save money during the winter.
Hopefully the energy saving tips above have given you some ideas on how get started. Now it's time to put everything you've learned into action…
