Oh boy. That sounds like it has potential. And, if they are spaced out a bit, there might be 3,4,5? that could be diamonds on the Suz stair as well. I am going to have to scroll back through threads to find a pic of all the ledges, stairs, benches etc. To try to get an overall shot.
Suz, You have so many great features, it is hard to remember the forest for the trees so to speak!
Another thought. Are those shimmery squares similar enough to the cute odds shapes on the ledge that you could sneak 1 square between each strip? And if so, would that allow you to have one extra strip of the cute odd shapes to use on that tiny Suz step?
See Suz, you are already getting your exercise from the pool, even without water.....
I can't believe I missed replying to this post!!! Well, knowing myself, yes I can believe it...
This is great! When you mention the Suz stair, do you mean the little step out (now referred to as the Pony Step)? Or do you mean my spiral steps hugging the spa? (see how little it takes to confuse me???)
If it's the spiral steps, I think I will stay with the 2 diamonds on each step. My son, Nick, said he liked it best with just the 2. Mostly on the step/bench trims, he has had no opinion. But he did on that. And he had a different idea for the Shell Beach trim on the sun shelf which I vetoed. (in our room-mate agreement, we have a veto clause..... when we feel strongly against something the other wants, we each have the power to veto. Usually that is used only for songs on the radio, and I might add, we almost never use it there, either.)
Now, as for the little step out - excuse me, Pony step, ITR just sent a link to his Pony step. I might try that in a few minutes.
And using the 2x2's in between each Shell beach strip would work, I think (really, these tiles are all so beautiful, I think you can do almost anything with them). But to me that would give it a very different look. I was able to chat for about an hour with the designer/owner of the LightStreams glass. He talked about how he came up with the idea of the Shell Beach product and what it meant to him. I loved the story about how he wanted them to look like shells washed up on the beach - a favorite childhood memory of his.
And as for exercise.... You are sooooo right! I've been more sore since going up and down the pool steps. And yesterday, we had to come in the front door. The front porch has a few high steps which have been sooo difficult for me these last 4 months. And I popped right up - almost no trouble at all. I was shocked. Give me a few months in the pool, and I'll be traveling all over the place. But wait a minute.... then I won't want to go anywhere!!! I'll want to stay at home in the pool. Well, maybe I can get back to my passion of gardening and doing my own handyman work around the house!!!!
Thanks Ascew! You are a genius! And if I can't use an idea, please don't stop sharing them with me!!!
Hugs,
Suz.
