![]() ![]() It was a ridiculous amount of work and never looked looked like the pro finish you see on painted cabinets that you buy with painted finish. ) I painted hickory cabinets that were tooooo rustic to go with my stuff. Cool silvers would minimize the purple effect. (OH! yellow/warm colors make purple look more purple. The cherry is beautiful but doesn't work well with your stuff, but SO EXPENSIVE to replace. silvery/brushed nickel, industrial/farmhousey/1930's craftmannish pulls and knobs would, I think, complement your furniture and contrast more modernly with the cherry. Maybe you could so that with the orange peel surface too? You have such cool taste, I'd want to be able to focus on your stuff if I was your guest! I understand your wanting to keep the brass, but I think it looks 1980's on polished cherry. I paid a guy not that much to smooth out all of my stucco ceilings and it looks like smooth new plaster now. I would suck it up and do the horrible, miserable job of tearing it out and putting in smooth drywall. I wouldn't even bother to paint it, the diagonals still argue. TOO busy, the eyes can't 'savor' what is stunning. What especially troubles me is that the long diagonal washed out wood argues with the strong squares and rectangles of the stone. Not in keeping with ANY of the styles in the room or your stuff. I kinda hate the 1970's diagonal wood wall. I wonder if you could change the mantel and use the gorgeous wood mantel as a shelf/sideboaord somewhere. One is rich and controlling nature, the other is rustic and following nature. I love the stone wall and I love the mantel, but not together. Can you work the hunt into another room? I'm seeing cool craft brewery style. I don't think 'fox hunt' works with your very cool industrial stuff. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your furniture by the way. I did not read all the comments, so you may have decided to for or against some of my ideas already. Later, she called to ask me for a "recipe" for steak. Shortly after we met them she showed us how to make those delicious Chinese dumplings, something strange and exotic to us at the time, from scratch using no recipe. It reminds me of the Chinese couple who have been friends of ours for years. People who ate them all their lives take that for granted. ![]() People like myself, who did not grow up eating Southern peas, need to be educated about the proper methods of cooking and serving them too. If these are the top and bottom of the list, for some people at least, it might be worth doing a taste comparison to educate outselves as to the difference, if our inexperienced palates can detect it. ![]() A few people place black eye peas at the bottom of their list. I planted the BVR (bean virus resistant) strain because that's what I could get. So far, it appears that pink eye purple hulls win out for popularity. I read all the GW posts on Southern peas that come along to see which ones get the most favorable comments. There must be people who like every one of them, or they would drop out of circulation. Any information which would help me narrow down the choices would be a big help. Like you, I have neither the space nor the time to trial many varieties (I like to grow a few other things as well, you know). I've been experimenting with Southern peas for a few years here in the North, where most people don't have the faintest idea of what they are. It's not silly, it's a good question, Mary.
