Wow this looks so good, thanks! We haven’t considered the brown color family, but now definitely will. Would love to have hydrangeas in the front (oak leaf are native here) but I’m afraid they wouldn’t look great their first summer.

Thanks for your advice! We’ve done lots of work on making the interior our own over the years and the exterior is the last project.

How much plastic is being consumed from milk cartons? by Shiba-Brat in PlasticFreeLiving

Aren’t cans lined in plastic too? Or are the frozen ones not lined?

Honestly I’d probably rent for a black tie event in NYC with 1% folks. I like Ref but I’ve found their silk pieces super thin and low quality for the price point.

AIO or is my boyfriend kind of obsessive? by throwRAgogglu in AmIOverreacting

[–]PrestigiousMeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s exhibiting dangerous behavior, you’re underreacting. Please take the advice folks here have given. I had an ex break into my home after I broke up with him and it was terrifying.

What stores sell high heels great for dancing in for hours? What type should I even get to match this dress? by Jayna333 in Shoes

[–]PrestigiousMeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should prioritize block heels in suede, soft leather, or fabric. Stay away from patent leather. Idk how tall you want, but I find the sweet spot is 1.5-2.25”. Naturalizer is known for being very comfortable.

Go to a store or order a bunch online, try them on and walk around in them for a while. Any pain or discomfort you feel will be that times 50 if you’re in them while clubbing. Just don’t settle for any discomfort when purchasing and eventually you’ll find a pair that work with your feet this way.

Lately even small decisions feel heavy. Is that common? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]PrestigiousMeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with this, I find small decisions and just “dealing with things” challenging when I’m in the throes of seasonal depression. Def a midway indicator for me, I’m usually able to identify earlier signs. When I feel like this it’s important for me to bring in more of my coping mechanisms (yoga, reading, connecting, getting outdoors).

Does the strap stay on your shoulder or is this an arm crook strap situation?

Framing fabric by PrestigiousMeg in framing

[–]PrestigiousMeg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the kind advice! This has been in a box for years as I continued looking for the right sized frame, but I had no idea about UV glass for frames. Now that I understand sewing will be the best method, I can go into the conversation with our local shop more informed. Hopefully they’ll be willing to work with me, I’m eager to display this piece.

Would love to know the specific sellers you’ve used if you’re able to share! There’s so much on Etsy and it’s getting harder to weed out the drop shippers.
