    Hello, my name is Barbara. Pictured are my 2 favorite guys...my husband and our Colombian PasoFino gelding Angelito Caido. Husband and I are recently retired from our jobs as methods engineers for a large govt agency serving the developmentally disabled. We were colleagues in the same department for 28 years....which never failed to confound people as to how we could be together 24/7 and not have killed each other yet LOL. We have a small farm where we grow most of our own fruits/vegetables and have a few animals to care for. Don't remember how I found Houzz, but its been so helpful since during our retirement we've decided to renovate and/or redecorate the house and property now that its 22 years old and in need of some upgrades. All that is almost completed now but of course I continue to spend way too much time looking at all the eye candy Houzz has to offer! Thank you to Houzz staff and all contributors/readers/lurkers, you are all wonderfully entertaining!

    Hi!

    I found out about Houzz from one of my customers who knew I was moving about two years ago, and I've been hooked since. Rarely does a day go by that I don't check in on my favorite dilemmas and often post ideas or random thoughts. As others mentioned, I mostly used it initially to create idea books, but got bolder over time and even posted my own dilemma...a wonderful but crazy, busy time. Great learning and sharing tool and so many friendly people!

    Hello CG, you can buy some of these and try them on site. From the pictures you posted I get the feeling you have 2 colors with similar saturation both fighting for attention. It's a little too much. I would keep the green but go softer on the red (i.e rust). You can also let yourself be inspired by the grey/silver/bordeaux floral and stripe pillows to create a brand new color scheme using these colors instead. For example, a very soft gray on the walls, gray carpet, grey/bordeaux combo in the curtains and for the sofa accents, pillows similar to these 2. It's decision time. Go for what speaks to you, but do it with elegance :-)

    Hello Houzz Ireland, We are currently renovating a 1960's build - so as you know, there is a lot of decisions to be made!! So it would be nice to get some gems of advice from the experts to help us through this daunting task. Areas where we would really like some inspiration for - small bathroom downstairs. I would really like to do something fun with this room and although small, I think it could work really well with some funky wallpaper or possibly tiles?! I'm just not sure what to do with it. Also - pulling a whole house together?! Where do we start? We have the bigger pieces of furniture but how do I know what nest of tables goes best with a suite? Or what accessories will bring a room together? I'm due a second baby in 2 weeks time so any help at this stage would be so amazing - to guide me on the right interior design path for our new house. Thanks, Laurie

    I am an interior designer/decorator working in the French Speaking part of Switzerland (and online all around the planet). I am British born and a Heinz 57 having lived in many different parts of the world. This has led me to observe and understand the various styles that are prevalent in differing regions. I work mainly with regular homeowners on a limited budget but with big aspirations. I try to achieve as much of their dream as we can and love finding creative solutions. I suppose my aim to to keep good karma with a good build so clients have a pleasant memory of the process as well the end result.My work ranges from providing a look through on architect plans and builds as a second pair of eyes and opinions to ensure the build does actually reflect the lifestyle of the customer; I also work on numerous renovations (up to my 25th bathroom in 6 years); and colour and styling consultations.Been Houzzing for at least two years... it has been great to meet some wonderful people on this site and I am always inspired by innovative thinking, the kindness and generosity of people who give their time and expertise to help guide others through their design dilemmas.

    Hi, I' Carrie and I'm definitely new to the site. 25 years ago I worked as a part time Interior Designer but I was more comfortable behind the desk running my mother's design company and furnitures store in the Virgin Islands. The clients I had were very happy with their outcomes but I have never had confidence in myself as a designer, always deferring to my mother's or my sister Sherrie's expertise. I did the design for the house we live in now that everyone loves but we are getting ready to totally renovate a home from the studs so there are areas I've never dealt with i.e. cabinets, countertops, etc. I am going to ask the experts on this site for their help sometimes because this home will be a BIG investment and each decision wrong could cost a lot of money; for instance putting in kitchen counter tops that don't look good with the hickory cabinets my husband wants throughout. So THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for any help you give me!

    Hi everyone! I think I found Houzz through googling some decorating dilemma I had...can't remember what, but who cares? Love this site!

    I'm a graphic designer who loves sifting thru home decorating and color ideas. For a long time I just relaxed and got a different kind of inspiration by looking at all the pretty pictures, but my addiction soon turned to taking part in the social side of Houzz, too.

    What I like about this site is that not only are there professionals here, there are regular people like me, too. I think being able to search for professionals is also a big draw....just need more listed from my area.

    When I get up the gumption, I will post one of my many dilemmas and let you guys go to town!

    THE FRENCH BARN - Lacanche Canada
    9 years ago
    last modified: 9 years ago
    Hello everyone!

    We have been on Houzz for a little while now, but it's never too late for an introduction! Our company The French Barn is the exclusive Lacanche distributor in Canada. We work with private clients, designers and custom-home builders to bring you the best ranges France has to offer!

    My partner Floriane and I are both from France, I was born just minutes away from the factory, so our choice to promote Lacanche and only Lacanche here in Canada was an easy one!

    All of our Lacanche ranges are hand-made in a small factory in Burgundy. Possibilities for customization are endless, with sizes ranging from 28" to 87", 25 colors to choose from as well as the option to have your very own custom color made by our enamel factory, 5 different finishes and several all-gas or dual-fuel configurations available for each model.

    You are probably thinking, "these are way out of my (or my client's) budget"... well, think again! We work directly with the Lacanche factory in France. This allows us to not only offer the best customer service possible, but also eliminate unnecessary mark-ups to offer our ranges at prices comparable to other high-end brands.

    For more info, please check our website and design your very own Lacanche online! www.french-barn.com

    And for the new Houzzers, I have to say I really enjoy Houzz and all the discussions and ideas floating around!

    A bientot !

    Hello fellow Houzzers. I've been lurking around here for a couple of years I think. I can't remember how I initially found the site but I've enjoyed seeing everyone's viewpoints, styles and personalities. Sometimes the drama is a bit daunting but overall there seems to be genuine desires to help others achieve their goals in the best possible manner.

    I love the combination of ideabooks, advice and products all in one easy to access spot. The variety of suggestions for any single design dilemma can be overwhelming to many posters but I think it is a wonderful way to force one to hone their design goals and winnow down or change completely the direction of the design.

    I find that I have a 50/50 agree/disagree ratio with design suggestions but I love that Houzzers are eager to offer them and almost always I find a new way of looking at the solution.

    I love color, patterns, eclectic style and fun accents. Homes are a personal space and I think they should reflect the person that lives there rather than some current design trend. However, I like that designers show us those trends so that we can pick and choose among our favorites.

    To coin a phrase from The Beatles' White Album, happiness is a warm home.

    Hello everyone, I have found my true passion, real estate. My hair salon is in a declining neighborhood that no matter who runs it will not be able to turn things around. I have the opportunity to move to a more stable area but will need to build from a vacant lot. I'm overwhelmed to say the least. The lot is 50' x 100'. My rough plans will be 35 x35 building with the salon on the first floor with 3 more floors of 2 bedroom apartments so it makes a sound business decision. My wife and kids are going to sell our house and move into one of the apartments so as to free up all available capital to put back into the business. If anyone has any experience and can help me avoid as many mistakes as possible I would truly appreciate it.

    Hello guys, never saw this post before? Well, I'm from New Jersey. :) I first discovered Houzz while on an internet journey on Lowe's site, I hope it wasn't Home Depot? Pretty sure Lowe's. lol ;) There was an ad type advert on their main page. So, I ventured over, only to discover the most amazing visuals for rooms and goodies for your home that I have ever seen. In September I was encouraged to post a dilemma. It has been an interesting ride....to say the least. I'm still not set on a decision, but there are definitely some very funny, nice and interesting people on the site. Most, far more creative than me. I know the things I like, but I'm no designer and am not the best at putting a room together......but I try. :) I've had my ups and my downs on the site.....but I'm still truckin' along! Even if I never finish my kitchen.....I'm still glad I found Houzz.....It's pretty cool indeed. Much props and respect to all the pros and photographers that bring their work to life. :) Guess that's all........................for now! LOL ;D

    PS Sorry, there is no way I could possibly pick just one photo I like. There's far too many great ones. :)

    I have received great advice from designers and others like myself, who just love decorating. I have often wondered if there would be a simple way to close in my 2 story foyer and add some space to my second floor. Well, tonight I have just found a company that specializes in such work. Only problem is that they are on the opposite coast of the US! Well, maybe worth a phone call consultation.

    Are you ready for some real changes on the inside and outside of your home? Its about time I introduce myself. I am what you call a "color guru" so to speak. I started in the paint business and the first day I worked in the "tint room" I looked like a ghost without a sheet! I really knew I had my hands full when I was made to match a color by "eye" and no instrumentation. In the paint world, thats called a spectrophotometer. Its kind of cheating for some people because they take a pix of a color and then voila, the machine gives you a formula to make that color. Wrong! It isnt that easy! It takes a good set of eyes and the knowledge of colorants and the good ole' color wheel. Something you cant learn in a classroom. Have questions, I am here to help.

    Have a colorful day! V

    A lot of people can go and make a garden pretty, but making the garden both beautiful and

    functional is really the challenge. We are the only ones who specialize in ecological design.

    We don't do any other projects. That gives us the unique ability to be the best sustainable

    landscape company. We know all the little tricks and secrets. We have natural products that

    are proprietary to our company. As a team, we're always thinking of something new. We like

    to be on the forefront of technology, so anything that we can do to make the garden more

    exciting, more fun. We're definitely working towards that.


    My ideal client is one who likes to be adventurous. We'd like to try a lot of new things in

    the garden. We put a lot of thought into what materials are good in this space and make sure

    everything is properly designed and engineered for where it's placed. Because I enjoy nature.

    We'd really like to make people feel at home with nature. I love my job because I get to work

    with different people all the time and I get to make things beautiful and functional with the natural environment.
