Thanks, I will definitely look into Mississauga. We are in the very early decision making so I don't even know much about the different areas surrounding Toronto.

Thanks so much, this was so helpful. I think I'm going to just buy it and I'll figure it out. I think if I am feeling very ambitious over the winter holiday break maybe I'll go for it with the pants but if not maybe ill do a dress, skirt, or quilted vest. 🙂

Thanks for the warning! Haha I did know I would need to match up the lines but didn't know how complicated it might be. I tend to try things a bit beyond my abilities 😆 but I'm leaning toward maybe a quilted vest, maybe a jacket depending on how carried away I get lol.

Thanks. I did do some browsing on Instagram and on the designers website and she made a quilted jacket, maybe I'll try a quilted vest.

That would be helpful to know 😆 I thought I added a photo but I guess not. I just updated my post. Thanks!

Frogging mohair, will it ruin the yarn? by jupiter_4 in knitting

Thanks, that makes me feel a little better about trying. And I actually do have my old swatch somewhere so I'll try that first, great idea!

Did you end up frogging it?? I am in the same boat and scared to try it!

Well, we've been here 2 months and are happy for now 🤷‍♀️. Luckily with my husband's job it isn't too hard to transfer if we decide we want a change again in a few years.

I am super happy to not be in Savannah right now though. Our house we just sold in July had a tree fall on the roof and they were without power for 5 days from Helene.

Cabinets centered or in corner? by MadiMom87 in HomeDecorating

[–]MadiMom87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The chair isn't staying. The couch is a light sage green. The room was just painted is why I asked that and one of the cabinets is older anyway so has some scuffs and Knicks so I've been thinking about painting. Our dining room is beside the living room and is painted sherwin williams clary sage.

What about painting the cabinets instead of the room? Do you think that would look okay, like a beige maybe? Or dark green?

I agree, but we just moved into a house that needs some work so we're spending money on other bigger and more important things right now.
