How sad, their children didn't live very long...especially the last 2. I find cemetaries to be so interesting. Sounds morbid, but a few summers ago DH went to a few in Hollywood to look around. It was so interesting. Those Cemetaries have alot of celebrities. That was fun in a weird way! Some old timers that I had forgotten all about. LOL....cheap entertainment too!

All my Flickr pictures are public, Lydia. Glad you're enjoying them! I usually go to a cemetery carrying a list of photo requests. If it's a small cemetery, I hope to find the requested gravestone on my own. I did well this time, but this doesn't usually happen. It helps to contact the cemetery manager. Quite often I suspect a very old stone has fallen over, or sunk, or become so smooth with age that the text is unreadable. So while I'm there, I wander around and take pictures of old gravestones at random. Then when I put them on my monitor I look to see if FindAGrave needs them or not. If the deceased person is not listed on FindAGrave for that cemetery, I create a memorial and add the photo. If a memorial is already on the website, but needs a photo, I add mine. If a memorial exists with a photo, I don't do anything with mine. Yes, I can think of two, possibly three, small cemeteries where I photographed every stone in the place. This time I found several stones that disagree with the information already posted for those persons on FindAGrave (different dates, different spellings). I'll contact the people who manage those memorials and point these things out to them.

We are looking at China White and Dove Wing....We can barely tell the difference and are torn by the samples. Natalie W, you have a great eye for picking out colors that are similar to each other! China White and Dove Wing are very similar, with only a delta 0.1 difference, not enough to be perceptible to the human eye. Both of those colors are in the same hue family as KM Swiss Coffee. However, they are also very close together chromatically, and we recommend a difference of at least 0.2 for contrast. Swiss Coffee has a chroma of 0.52, China White 0.66, and Dove Wing 0.69, so any of these two colors together are going to look like the same color from a distance. If you'd like more contrast with the ceiling, you could try BM Gray Mist (chroma 0.82).

I'd have to see more of the overall style to be sure, but 8' ceilings are rare in my area and never on the main level. Since your ceilings are so low, I think it would be better to go with same header as vertical. Appears to be 4" rect. You need more visible wall above the doors.
