I dont want to rock the boat or cause a big issue. With that being said. Here it goes. With urban sprawl taking over the whole area what do you expect. I grew up just a few miles from there. I used to live on garretts mill road. I could say the same thing you are saying about the tower about the houses in the picture. Ten years ago they were not there. Just like all the house to the right of the picture that are not showed. It used to be fields and woods. I dont get it. Masses of people move to the undisturbed country and then complain when the country becomes the city. Get used to it. Its only going to get worse. Look at Brunswick. Small town. Now there is a 1500 house development going in. Small town is no longer small. Wait ten years and there will be no more farms from that picture to DC. But who's to blame???? I dont have an answer to that. Cant blame the hard working farmers that are working their butts off and sitting in a gold mine worth millions in the real estate market. IMO opinion its the "city" folk that want to live in the country. Driving up housing prices. Making our commute worse. Turning our small towns and country living into urban disaster. Look at Louden County VA. Wow has that places changed. What in the world is this area turning into???? I dont know. Thats why I moved North. The sprawl it not nearly as bad up here in PA as it is back "home". Its not even really home anymore. I remember when the Golden Mile in Frederick was farm land and Im not even old......yet. My comments are not directed at the OP at all. Just venting some issues I have with the area.

hey guys- i got some samples today Looking at the faux wood b/c i dont want to worry about warping- we get A LOT of sun! Looking at a creamy off white color- so it will be lighter than the walls but not stark white-- the two i am looking at are HD Faux polymer soft cream (* i love the color b/c its in the same tone as the walls but definatly a lighter version-- but there is not real "wood grain look" its painted... is that ok? 2nd is Levlour Visions Faux Wood Sand Blasted-- color is not quite as creamy as the first one-- but it does have more texture and graining.... Thoughts Last thought of the day-- Will i really love wood blinds? I love feeling open-- and these blinds are HEAVY so i dont really see opening them all the way-- more i see just using the wand to open and close them but not lifting them.... Do you love the look? Do you think its right for my large family room? I wish i could decide!!! And do you think the painted color will look good-- creamy ivory....

I didn't realize this, but this is what I read about the hospital contest. Every participating hospital will receive a Fun Center. Check back April 3rd to find out which hospital in each geography will receive a second Fun Center. That is so cool that each hospital will receive a Fun Center!

RH is over priced for what you get. Although I do have two of the RH Optic pendants I don't think I will buy anything at another so called "lifestyle" merchant. Just something is bugging me about RH and Pottery Barn and exactly what they are trying to sell/market. If I had to do it over again I would have gotten restored vintage fixtures but the BW would not let me spend that kind of money this go round. I like either of the two other options with the Kichler coming out on top. Keep in mind that you are getting no real ambient lighting with any of these.
