I've been wondering what the english name was. They are called "pivoines" here. Such beautiful flowers. ahhh, peonies. I’ve been wondering what the english name was. They are called “pivoines” here.

I am not sure how I got here, but I am glad that I did. I will most certainly be back. Also, we have had similar experiences with my sweet dog Baily & my sister's new puppy Otis. Bailey was always a loner & the sweetest thing ever, but she is a wreck now that Otis is around! I think it just takes time. Time & patience. You have such a charming blog!

I suggest that you look in the yellow pages for a powder coating company in your area and give them a call -- tell them you want the radiators picked up, sandblasted, powder coated, and delivered back to you. Make sure to also figure in the cost of having the radiators disconnected and reconnected, since you'll probably need a plumber to do that for you.

We have great old ones, with a lot of chipped paint. I'm so irritated that someone even put paint on them! Yours look lovely! I can't wait to see what the tub looks like.

That's not usually a sentence you hear! I hope that Bruno adjusts to little Fritz soon, too. It looks like he's coming around. I concur with everyone else – stunning radiators.

They look AMAZING now, it's so exciting. We're having our bathtub and sink powdercoated, too. I'm very into paying other people to do things for me lately. ;) Kate, I know — for 2 years we’ve been saying we’d “paint the radiators ourselves”, but I just couldn’t bring myself to scrape off all the old layers of paint and grime and rust and nastiness.

Ours could REALLY use that treatment. You know you live in an old house when the sight of someone’s freshly blasted and painted radiators give you a sharp pang of jealousy.

We'll do the rest of them gradually -- getting them out of the house (and back in again!) is quite an ordeal, since they weigh 500+ pounds each. Pics soon, I promise! I keep forgetting.

The others are newer (though still cast iron) and less ornate. I am so glad nobody ever decided to covert the house to baseboard or forced heat!
