Hi Connie, I am not familiar with Buttons n Bows. A new to me Camellia that I highly recommend to my rose loving friend is Winter's Rose. It is a dwarf camellia with lovely light pink flowers. It has been covered with flowers for the last few weeks. Winter Snowman is one that grows very upright for me. It blooms for about six weeks in November and December. I visited Camellia Forest in NC for their annual open house last year and picked up several that are doing well. They have a large selection of cold hardy plants. One that they highly recommended for cold hardiness is Gov. Mouton. I will have to check out Little Five Azalea Farm. There is also a couple who sell camellias at the Gordon Road Farmer's Market on Rt 3. Kathy Here is a link that might be useful: Winter's rose

Hi Lisa161-- These deeper blue finishes are really starting to appeal to me! What style is your pool and in what part of the country do you live? So glad you revived a specific request for more photos of this color. Hi Lennardsmalls-- Thanks for the fantastic links. I had been randomly trying different plaster companie' websites and doing searches for hours on end to see more pictures of the these colors. PS--I have enjoyed following your build. Thanks again.

I agree with dianalo, repairing sheetrock is not hard. I do think the decal is very nice, though. The thing about paint is that it can always be re-painted if you don't like it. Go to a site like Behr.com, and just look at the guidance they give for painting. My tips from learning the hard way: 1. Get a high quality paint that has good coverage so you don't need to do too many coats. I painted a wall dark blue using Behr Premium Plus Ultra and it took only two coats, easy peasy. 2. If you are using tape to mask anything off, use your finger to wipe a very thin line of clear painters caulk on the edge of the tape to seal it, otherwise the paint will get underneath. If you do this, when you take the tape off, you'll have a perfect straight line. 3. Get the best brush in the store. You don't want bristles coming off and getting stuck on the wall. Good luck!

It’s a very nice kitchen! When you add the vent ignore the empty wall space. It’ll look fine. You have the same thing by the windows. It stops there too. Enjoy the space, and wait until you can make this your own! It looks very nice as is now!
