For crying out loud!!! They are all Blue Angel deritives, don't slice and dice it to death. Yes, Fire and Brimstone is from Guardian Angel (sport) and Guardian Angel is a Blue Angel sport. It's still a streaked Blue Angel.

Now I'm realizing that the other ceilings I painted do have streaks...you just can't tell as much because there isn't a lot of natural light in the rooms. I've been reading up on the visible solutions sw paint after posting this and there are a lot of complaints. I'm going to go to my local store (where I've bought 16 gallons of paint and even more supplies in the last few months) and demand a refund or replacement. It looks like their classic ceiling paint (not the color changing one) has worked well for people who have had this same problem. What waste of time...I'm so disappointed.

Hi Lilyfinch - I once received a rose from Heirloom where all the canes looked like your first photo only the blackened portion was even greater. I sent them a photo and they refunded my money because it was clear that the rose wasn't going to make it and they didn't have any more in stock. I don't know what causes this to happen. You might be able to root a cutting from the top but I don't think you should have to. The vendor should replace it or give you a refund. Blue For You is a lovely rose. Mine was one of the first three roses to bloom this spring and is finishing up now. Ann

Hi there! I was wondering if anyone might be able to give me a rug suggestion based on a few options I think I like but can’t decide between. (These are kind of loosely similar to the CB2 rug Jinx suggested - but a little closer to my price range!) Here are the options I’m looking at: https://www.westelm.com/m/products/is-distressed-nadine-rug-t4876/?pkey=s~southwest rug~767# https://www.rugsusa.ca/rugsusa/rugs/rugs-usa-arboreal-landscape-fringe/Multi/200BDSN01B-406.html?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=SW_PROSP_5x8RugsUSA-Core-Evergreen&utm_content=DPA-75-SpringSale-2022&utm_term=PUR_Wide_US_20-65+_M+F&cl_a=click&cl_aid=rugsusa&cl_asid=facebook&cl_ch=social&cl_vend=facebook&cl_camp=6185716574805&cl_adg=6185716609405&cl_crtv=6273327091805&cache=[timestamp]&fbclid=IwAR1WgJ7U0KsZg2JlgajNNXpelnBHxnzRddpKJ-N6iMJF70m8xtxpdOmd39Q_aem_AVfJ4KGbELvU4W-SS-nNuh2fHMtRK1DR-R55tw3jVkNxFgXKAnZA6l8aiFDz2y87eP8fHO9vicIQHX9VkZJ5evImLzu2Dnroz6VjmL49DFa1X0c8L-lDjHhN-5ABcGKb7rs&fs=e&s=cl#pdp-bv-reviews https://www.wayfair.com/rugs/pdp/world-menagerie-asia-oriental-flatweave-orange-area-rug-w006632176.html?piid=1075762269 https://www.wayfair.com/rugs/pdp/joss-main-lynna-oriental-red-area-rug-w004922917.html?_emr=42da991f-9069-4f9a-9271-541612a1dcfa&wfcs=cs7&_eml=91a1c2a7-a990-4d0e-823a-addfaaf36463&source=batch&batchid=1&varid=36&csnid=226c0e77-31da-4293-b3a0-583a3f09cf37&brcid=1&skurectxid=943ac8f1-06a9-4445-a59b-6bc33afb5b99&event_rec_txid=54f05530-aaa9-4496-8d69-2b8dc88b2810&sm=1&refid=MKTEML_67700&sku=BGLS5196&emlid=101&maiid=8593 Any you think would look best? I think I’m leaning towards number 1 but I’m not sure if the “distressed” look fits with my very modern looking apartment Thanks again for all of your help - I had to take a little break from apartment decorating while I took med school final exams but now I desperately need a rug! :)
