    Where did your user name come from??

    Mine? Comes from the name of one of my web sites (which number in the septillions these days). Wanted something that fulfilled my rule - Kevin's Two Rules Of Naming: 1) Is punchy/memorable, and 2) Makes no sense/means absolutely nothing.

    Here are a few in-progress photos from the first few days of painting. (All colors are Sherwin-Williams historic colors.) Kitchen in Holiday Turquoise: Master bedroom in Stratford Blue (the new windows will be installed shortly in the wall on the left and the carpet will be gone...

    The house has a Home Depot Door now. Trust me - I am a staunch preservationist here in the city. I'll do the right thing. :)

    Also got my concrete stain ordered - "Desert Mountain" color, which I think will be nice but manage to go with just about anything. The stain I'm using for the concrete floors is SoyCrete, by Ecoprocote. It's an alternative to the usual acid stains that is made from soybeans. It's safe...

    Oh, and incidentally, these are the colors I'll be going with for the interior. They are from the Sherwin-Williams '50s Modern historic palettes, which seemed to fit this house inside better than others. (All samples are approximate - I have big physical swatches that are more accurate.)...

    Heh - you'd have to get conditioned to weeding in the Texas heat. Motivation to do yardwork can be a bit stifled when it's 107. :) So do I - but these aren't vintage appliances. They're from 2004, when the house was built. If they were vintage, I'd be hanging on to them. Rather, they...

    The Great Beer Thread

    My favorites almost all come from our local neighborhood brewery - Rahr & Sons Brewery here in Fort Worth's Near Southside. Of all their great beers, my favorite is the flagship of the line: The mighty Stormcloud IPA. From the Stormcloud page: During a fierce storm on his voyage across the...

    Thanks, y'all. It's quite a project, but I think it'll turn out well in the end. The neighborhood is really excited, because it's something of an eyesore for everybody and is on a prominent corner. Now...anybody know a good place to get a mid-century modern couch, preferably one that...

    David, On the floors - both my girlfriend and I live in lofts with hard floors at the moment. It's what we're used to, I guess. I'll miss the feel if I don't take something of them with me. I can always go back and redo the floors later if I decide to get away from the concrete. Only thing...

    Hi again, everyone. Yes, I'm still alive. I hope to have more time to hang around here now. I'll have some photos to show shortly, but for now I just wanted to say that I'm in the process of buying a home in the historic "streetcar suburb" pre-war neighborhood of Fairmount just south of...

    MEN of the LOUNGE

    Don't think I ever posted these in this thread, and I haven't posted at all in a while, so here we go. Me, in my Magnoli Marrakesh suit, in the Fort Worth Convention Center a few months back:

    Wow, thread back from hibernation. Thanks for all the kind words! I bought mine when they were brown & cream. The current one is blue instead.

    I got my three B! Wear caps today. I'll take some photos when I get the chance. They're fantastic.

    Magnoli Clothiers Marrakesh Suit

    Thanks, Matt! That's one thing I really love about this suit - it's fantastically comfortable. Probably the most comfortable suit I own. I'll snap a few more photos here when I get the chance.

    Thanks! I'm working on it. I've had a few setbacks on the weight loss side but I'm still trending the right direction, if slowly.

    It is the cotton number, yes. I can't remember exactly which variant of cotton I wound up with, but I like it a lot. Magnoli could probably tell us.

    Not bad at all. I think next time I'll be better off, knowing the measurements game a little better. They're certainly far better than modern.
