You are a linguistic genius! I can picture it and want to be there with my toe socks and marsh-mellows. I love that you were in LHL! Congrats!

Rita,

Thanks for the nice words. Now for your questions. The Lanterns are Dietz Red, but they look sort of pink in the pictures. I made the door with the stained glass. It's really easy. Let me know if you want more info on that. You are on LogeHomeU. It's this website.

Rita - I was just going thru your beautiful photos. Time for some spring photos! I'd love to see what your area looks like! :-)

No one responded with photos showing how their chandeliers looked in the living area blending with ceiling fans or other kinds of light features in the other areas of the great room (such as the kitchen, dining room, etc.). If you'd send me pictures of yours, I'd be appreciative! Thanks Rita.

Rita

Sorry

I responded to the wrong comment

still trying to get the hang of this thing

I am out of every loop when it comes to technological savvy of any sort

anyways ...

thank you for your comment - I guess you meant the house was awesome & that praise belongs 100% to our builder, Peter, & my wife, Kay, who dreamed the dream

& to Robert C who went looking for the place to build it

thank you
