""" Is it worth the 4K savings?""" In the grand scheme of things, probably not. Look at the TOTAL cost of the kitchen, then decide for yourself Wolf/SubZero are also offering a promotion with the 48" range and refer. IMO, Miele is the best dishwasher but Bosch is popular. Try to stay towards the upper end of Bosch.

thank you so much for your sole answer. No one else replied. but never the less.. the brown/yellow dots on Eucodonia shall be normal someone said. Its a Eucodonia thing..don´t know better. the leaves from kohleria had no yellow spots or grey spots. Or the yellow brownish part can be sun burn from water on the leaves. When I compare Google pics, its not spotwise, or bright grey and not uneven. Dark spots appear only holding at window. I try to not wet the foliage, but leaves hide the stem, so I try to water the stem area also. Than leaves get wet sometimes. Small drops. I try to wipe them off when I see it. soil compaction, why? I use perlite, leca, i tried also mixing orchid barks, gravel. Ok I can avoid coco and vermiculite next time, to try. My mother just used plain garden soil, and ther plants were healty, although soil got so compacted over time. I have also read, 9 from 10 plants die from overwatering. Therefore I was very cautios. As then they did not stop become brown, I then took them off the soil, to inspect the roots. They were like hair, thin and dry, not moist or mushy. So I did not overwater? or did I and then they got mushy and then dried off because of lack from oxygen? you write: "Water when the soil is nearly dry or if you notice the onset of wilt. " maybe of the plant species, I never saw them wilting or droppy. Stem was always firm. Sometimes one got sloppy leaves. I watered then, but it dit not help. Unfortunately signs of overwatering and less watering is the same!!! about air flow. I open windows often for couple of minutes a day. It is very cold. How to get air flow? Its too cold to put them outside. Ventilator cools down more for the sake of air. In winter I used a heater/radiator below the window sill. On the window sill there were my plants. My room is not bright, therfore I put them there so that get light. Maybe hot dry air also hit the leaves. I elonged, extended the window sill to avoid this, perhaps that did also not help. 40. 50 % humidity is ok? What about 60 or more? I use humidifier as they are exotic plants. But the mist is also cool. So hot and cold mixes together, is this good or bad? I use fertilizer seldom, most of them are cuttings or very young. Maybe fertilizer would be too strong? I dilute it very. I try eggshell, banana or aloe vera so fertilizer dont oversalt the soil. I use rainwater or destilied water. for short time ago I started to weigh the plastic pots. So I use always the same weight when its dry, or the same amount of water evey time. You write: "Deep pots might have 3 or more inches of soil that feels totally dry, while the lower several inches of the soil is 100% saturated. Obviously, the lack of oxygen in the root zone " 10 cm deep pots, cuttings or rhizomes are at the first 3 cm of the soil. The young roots maybe at half of the pot. Below that soil is wet though drainage holes exist. So if the water were to much, it would drop, but it did not drop. For my opinion the soil beneath, has no roots at the moment, so roots cant suck up the water, therefore last the final one-third of stays wet, but upper soil is dry. So what to do..Therefore I bought this humidity meter, everyone was very satisfied with it. They said its the solution to not overwater. When I push it into soil, it says dry. For me it is moist. This must be true, because the roots look also dry. So it is dry, I assume. Well this meter worked for so many people. Of course it says it will not work if you stick it into pure water. Its even written in the instruction paper. I cant wait till the third end of the pot dries, than the middle zone of the pot, where the roots are(I assume), will dry out. Top soil anyhow. I think I have to sacrifice some plants, to see where the problem is, overwater or underwater. I will definetly try the wooden tell method. I love them so much. I even wraped the pots in towels in winter, so they dont freeze on the window sill.thank you so much for your sole answer.

I even wraped the pots in towels in winter, so they dont freeze on the window sill. look at the roots, what do you say? one is also from gardenia. And this is from my Mother in normal basic garden soil. Then she went on vaccation, and I killed her plant also :((

Without seeing a layout drawing on how these spaces connect or flow together, perhaps you need to consider how the different floorings will connect if not the same height. Only saying because I hate the look of having transition pieces in open spaces that should flow together easily. Looks like your den, breakfast nook and kitchen all run together so these should probably be the same floor choice. Suggest you consider not having the cabinets control your flooring choice, with the idea you could save to have them painted later. Your furniture colors are beautiful and will be easy to coordinate accent colors, rugs, etc. later so I wouldn't worry about those so much. Flooring should enhance the permanent things in the spaces and blend with furniture, Before the new flooring is installed, consider removing all the wallpaper and borders and prime those walls. It will help you reimagine and see your wall and trim paint samples better to select those colors last.

irIn the last 2 years dirt makes me itch and break out. I use kitchen gloves. The orange pair is for playing in the dirt and the yellow pair is for pulling up poison Ivy. My birds like to sit in the trees and deposit the seeds with personalized liquid fertilizer amoung the shade plants.. My hands sweat and the gloves do get stinky so I have to wash out the inside and outside with bathroom and tile cleaner mixed with Dawn. I hope you find something that works for you.
