Have you ever seen a pretty transition between two distinctly different hardwood floors? I rarely do. It's either "old vs. new" oak flooring, which rarely match in their tones, or two different hardwood floors on either side of a sharp transition line. That's why I was so delighted when I saw what my dear friend Shiri came up with to smooth out the transition between her oak and cherry flooring. Here’s what it looked like: Doesn't it look so much better then if there was a sharp transition line between the oak and cherry flooring? It's also cool how a solution to a "problem" ended up as an artistic statement by itself. Here's another idea - when choosing new flooring to be installed next to old wood flooring, make sure the two wood floors match by color and tone. Grain difference is much less important. Below is how my old oak flooring looks like next to the caramelized bamboo flooring we installed in the kitchen (over the ancient and ugly mint vinyl flooring). See how the tones match? the fact that the grain is different doesn't bother me. It sure would have bothered me if the wood tones were very different. Will you share your ideas of how to create a smooth transition between two different hardwood floors? If you've been struggling with making the right choices for your own home design projects, you might benefit from some guidance. call or email me at 617-584-9965 [email protected] blog www. veredrosendesign.com pinterest twitter houzz

\"Liatris Spicata Alba, also known as White Blazing Star or Gayfeather, adds a captivating touch to late-summer gardens, boasting tall wands adorned with fluffy, brilliant white flower clusters that bloom from the top down. Throughout summer, its delicate, grass-like green foliage remains attractive and seamlessly transitions to a rich bronze hue in the fall, harmonizing beautifully with the landscape. Once in bloom, these majestic spires sway gracefully in the breeze. Plant them in places where you want to add height, visual interest, and colour without a lot of fuss. Florists love Liatris as it's not only long-lasting, but also commands attention in bouquets and when dried. As a native prairie plant, the Blazing Star acts as a magnet for butterflies and various pollinators, enriching your garden's ecosystem. Once the blooms fade, their seeds serve as a nourishing treat for finches and other small birds.

I have posted before about my "Secret Student" before but I am posting about it again to include in in What the Teacher Wants Behavior Management Linky Party! Get over there and get yourself some good ideas! These last few weeks have been hectic and crazy. The kids in my class have been real troopers through it all. We went from three first grades to two first grades after the first two days of school. Yeah, that was interesting to say the least and I think we are all finally getting into the groove of things! We added some more friends, moved some tables around and crammed ourselves in nice and cozy! I am always looking for ways to bribe promote good behavior. We give Eagle Feathers out at our school and in first grade we keep them in a shoe organizer labeled with their number. They kids had no idea that it was a shoe organizer. As I was helping someone tie their shoes the first day we had the shoe organizer up, I had a student who was absent (when I explained the system) come up and ask where they put their Eagle Feather. I kept saying "In the shoe organizer." They put it in their shoe. It stayed there a good part of the morning until I noticed. We trade our Eagle Feathers in for coupons we got here. The kids love the coupon system. I also have a "Secret Student." Each morning before the kids come in I fill out one of these by writing a student's name on the line: Then I stick it in a magnetic container and put it at the top of the board. There is also a little glitter in there for good measure. At the end of the day, I get it out and pull out the name. If that student had a good day, they get to keep the note to take home to mom and dad. They also get something out of my little prize box. If the student didn't have such a good day, I don't call them out. I just put it in my pocket and explain that whoever it was didn't have a very good day and maybe they will have a better day tomorrow. The kids LOVE the Secret Student. They always remind me at the end of the day. All I have to say throughout the day is "I need to check on my Secret Student." You can only imagine how that gets pencils moving, lines straighter, voices off.... If you want a free copy of the Star Student cards you can get it here!
