You can always test on candle holders or something small. I was in too deep to the point of no return 😁. Have a great weekend!

Thank you for your acknowledgment and yes - us DIY lovers must enjoy the journey cause sometimes it goes in a different direction. And yes, I do love them after all. Thanks! 😊

It’s a good product for certain applications but for example drawer pulls - nope. I wouldn’t do it. Best to you!

Yes, we have been pulling out the seedlings & weeds but they seem contained in that corner area. I have to pull out weeds in other areas of the yard as well. I don’t mind too much. Your statement is true. And yes we had a lot of fruit this year. We tried different recipes. ☺️

It really depends on the cultivar that you planted. Some of them go down to 0F, some to 27F etc. If you can remember the name of the cultivar, you can Google by searching the cold hardiness. The great thing is that if they are perennial, you don’t have to worry about them being invasive. 😉

Thank you!

Hi there! I’m in coastal Georgia zone 8b.

Thanks for your input. Noted. Have a wonderful weekend!

Gosh I wish I could. The indoor patio was built with the house by the home builder and … yes it is the most magical place at home 🪄I would definitely research that possibility. I’ve had a covered porch without the screen also but here in coastal Georgia we need the protection from the gnats. I loved both of the covered porches so much. I won’t buy a home without one. To your dream, go for it!!!

I’ve only purchased an autumn cherry tree from fast growing trees online but I searched for holly trees and didn’t see the eaglestons there either. One way would be to call local nurseries and ask if their distributors have eaglestons available on special order. Otherwise, I would google and call around. I’m sorry I couldn’t give you a more straightforward answer, but hope this helps in your search.

⁠@@homeandlifewithcynthiathank you for the quick reply. Can you suggest any other tree which I can easily find that grown about the same? I am looking to extend the height of my fence with trees but don’t want to have trees occupying space next to the fence.

So glad it’s helpful. Best to you with your wall!

That’s sweet. Thank you! I hope you are finding the videos useful ☺️

It might work for that because it isn’t going to be touched regularly. Is there any way to test on something similar just so you can see the actual results. But if it’s brass - it will probably help you tone it down to a more preferred look. The product is good. I do recommend it, but I highly recommend testing first.

@@homeandlifewithcynthia So you wouldn't recommend it on black cabinet handles? Because I wanted to try those too.

@@homeandlifewithcynthia I tried it, and it came out great!!

I have not. I will definitely look into it. Thank you for sharing!

Hi there! 5.5 feet from center

Thanks so much for your feedback

I have seen the suckers and I just clean them up. I do know what you mean though.

I’m so glad you found it helpful. Best to your project!

I’m so happy you shared this. Thank you!

Thank you. It’s the tiniest sheen. I think it’s called satin or eggshell.

These were from Ross. So I suggest you go to TJ maxx, Ross, and Marshall and see if you can find inexpensive options. If not then look at Amazon.

Thank you for sharing 😉. I ended up putting a rod at the bottom and it worked out awesome.

I’m so glad to hear that! ☺️

Not yet, it’s been raining a lot so maybe I can make one soon!

Hi there! Yes I scuffed with the wire brush for all 3. However, It depends on the look you are happy with. If you want a more realistic metal look then the way I did mine is better but the primer does hold up well. If I had to do it all over again, I would find an old chrome piece that I wouldn’t mind damaging and test on that first with the primer and see if I liked the look. If you do, you could save yourself time and a lot of work. Hope this helps.

I’m not a spruce expert but consider the size at maturity for both width at the bottom and if they’ll touch up at the top. I’ve seen spruce trees staggered in 2 rows for maximum privacy and to ensure they do have ample space to grow. It depends on the spruce variety. They look beautiful staggered and trees end up really healthy. I urge you to research that. ☺️

Glad it was helpful! ☺️

Oh wow! I appreciate your bravery with the experiment. I hope it turns out better than you imagine. Where is the grout? On a wall? Sounds like an intriguing project.

So glad this was helpful!

I don’t have that color in my swatch at home but from what I read it’s a beautiful color. The beauty of natural light is that many colors will work. I saw white sesame has definite red undertones which means it is warm for sure. It should help the home feel cozy. The lighter version would be marshmallow and the darker version would be something like Beachcomber. I once had a realtor tell me that an amazing selling color is City Loft. City Loft has the slightest more yellow and green undertones making it a wink more “neutral”. In comparison to City Loft, White Sesame has a tad more orange tone. City Loft is a great side by side comparison. The light reflectance value of White Sesame is 71.28 which means you’ll still get great light. It’s an off-white but should still have good body, meaning it will read like a color, not like a white. My biggest tip is to take a couple of white cardboard sheets and buy sample paint from SW for $10. Paint those cardboards and place them in light areas and dark areas throughout the house. This will be of huge help and save you tons of headache in the future. Pay attention to shadows or color changes as daylight changes. When you paint a whole house, it’s inevitable that the color will vary from room to room. It sounds like a lovely choice. I also think you need to lay the cardboard next to fixed items like flooring and countertops and large furniture. Remember that the light bulbs you choose will also matter so test that. Hope this helps. Best to you on your project!

🤩😆

Thank you!

Thank you!

Most definitely. The joy of gardening goes way beyond gardening itself. 🥰

Thanks for noticing that. I think it’s the little details that makes things so special. Xoxo
