How can we improve the curb appeal of this house?
Comments (29)To minimize the look of the chimney put a porch on the other part of the house. The porch should run from the small window close to the door right across to the other edge of the house. Put in a slate or cobblestone walkway that curves away from the chimney side. It will bring balance and take the focus off what you cannot remove. You;ll need some nice landscaping in front of the porch and along the curved walkway....See MoreHow can I improve this kitchen nook?
Comments (115)This is an eating nook. Unify the whole room. A great open simple iron light fixture would add height and drama. Keep two pillows each with a different rooster design. The shelves and the way they are accessorized make it look like a reading room/library. Get a beautiful Country French set of rooster dishes and use them mixed with plants and pottery and possibly some old pewter pieces on, the whole unit. The dises should be in the same color pattern as the pillows. Plantation shutters, to match color of built in, would be simple, but dramatic. Rich looking. Keep the center piece simple, maybe a collage of low chunky candlesticks or a short topiary, or hand made basket full of ivy. Love your table and chairs, they are warm and inviting, and have Key West look. A simple wallpaper inside the wall unit would also be nice. Keep the scale small and it won't fight with your accessories. Good luck!...See MoreCraftsman Rotary Lawn Mower 725 series LOSING POWER-shutting down
Comments (2)OOPS! My apologizes PPF, The first thing I saw online was a person asking for help with his mower and he received good advice --on HERE. Well, I will go else where for advice then in regards to my mower. I do like this website though, I will need advice in regards to our home at some point in time..Cheers to all....See MoreHow can we improve the look of our front yard? Help!
Comments (4)Really nice large lot. Your yard looks good as is -- but then I like an uncluttered look and prefer the yard to be uncluttered when mowing. One exception is a bird bath -- a plain concrete one would do. You can leave them unpainted or paint the outside any color you want.. http://www.allbirdcage.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/bird-bath-concrete.jpg Something you might consider for your side yard is a patio -- there seems to be a trend of putting them in the front now. More patio equals less grass. http://c0263062.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/content/images/sized/front-yard-patio-ideas-visual-sameness_086e0058d8297bf2ae78c70aebe1197f_3x2_jpg_570x380_q85.jpg You might consider a planting area or hedge in front of the dark fence between your yard and your neighbor's yard to brighten up that corner a bit. Some flowering shrubs by the side of the house could be a plus, especially if camellia or other flowering bushes would grow where you live. Ditto in front of the siding on the right front of your home. With children playing in the yard, cacti might not be a good idea. Some vines are drought tolerant and you might consider an arbor with vines above and stone or brick patio below. A word of caution: Any "garden" of any size takes some work. Having no plantings look better than having poorly kept ones so don't create more work for yourself than you have time to do....See Morelbpod
