Voted for the Bancroft sink since it's the only one with rounded edges (the style is nice, too!). Not wild about the garish color scheme currently winning for the tile choice. The shimmer tile goes so much better with the currently winning paint color. Not sure if all of the votes are being counted--the end result sometimes omits the 'your choice' in parentheses on the results even though I'm voting in every category.

My favorite part of gardening is weed barriers that really work. Also, watching the perennials come back year after year. I really like fresh mulch on the beds, too.

We try to do our part to for energy conservation and green living. We replaced our windows with triple panes & had new siding with extra insulation underneath installed. We replaced the 12 y.o. dishwasher with an energy efficient one and use the maximum efficiency setting for all of our washing. We replaced the 12 y.o. refrigerator with an energy efficient model as well as the 12 y.o. washer with a water saving front loader (the only water used is on the laundry itself, it does not "fill up" with water). We cover our gas fireplace with a large piece of Lexan when not in use to prevent heat loss in the Winter and cooling loss in the Summer. We recycle religiously. We combine errands to conserve on fuel. We have replaced the outside lights with LEDs, solar operated walkway LEDs and use compact fluorescent bulbs through out the house.

I hope we have a chance. Carrie's artwork is gorgeous (love the installation in the 2010 HGTV Green Home)!
