Pulling out my hair! PLEASE help with Kitchen open to Family Room design - before I'm bald!
Comments (20)How about a tile floor through the kitchen and the family room with an oak in-lay. This ties the wood together throughout the house and gives you a different floor finish that distinguishes the kitchen and family room as a new zone that is incorporated with each other. Then your only task would be to come up with the in-lay pattern you like and a tile color that compliments the oak color....See MoreRemoving a stump...?
Comments (1)They can also be ground out from the center - the roots will stay and rot in the ground ... but it really depends on the root structure of the tree that was cut....See Morecurb appeal and landscaping ideas...please help!
Comments (16)To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of grey but, if I do like grey, it is more toward that darker grey of the neighbors. But I can certainly understand your not wanting to match them! If you do want to go grey, look at more warmer, even greenish, grey tones instead of blue, it will blend better with the brick and stand apart from the neighbor. Are you planning to paint the door/shutters, too? In addition to your meatballs, I'd consider moving the 4 reddish bushes to another location. You could even split them up and replant them on either side of that window. You have a nice, big, lovely windowbox there that is being covered up. Open that up and then plant some vibrant plants, like geraniums and wave petunias, and add some draping plants like ivy, as well. I'd also consider changing the bushes in front of the living area. That part of the yard/house is darker and those bushes are a dark green and heavy. They swallow up whatever light you get there. The red bushes could go over there if you wanted to plant flowering bushes at the corners on the left - some color and texture are much needed in that part of the landscaping. You could even consider clearing everything out and making a nice garden with hostas and grasses with some inexpensive landscape lighting, mulch, bird bath, etc. The awning is a bit confusing. I thought copper, too, when I first saw it but I worry it would be that extra accessory that tips the scale. If it can be painted, try a coat of the house paint, whatever you decide, and then stand back and see if it feels more cohesive. Another suggestion would be to "roof" it with similar shingles to your roof. You have a pretty home with a lot of really great details - details that are getting lost in the attack of the shrubbery - so I think I'd start first with looking into what you want to get rid of there, what you can reasonably move and what you might want to replace them with. Once that is done, you'll probably get a better idea. I don't know what part of the country you are in but I'm in the midwest and can suggest Hydrangea (which do need lots of water but bloom much of the summer) and native plants like ConeFlower - mine bloom in the shade as well as full sun and the birds, especially Goldfinches, will eat right from the stem! Last summer I planted a Snowball bush - can't remember the "real" name but it is 10 times bigger this year! When it blooms, hopefully next year, it will have HUGE white balls of flowers. Spectacular!...See MoreStumped with eyesore front yard! Need help!
Comments (50)Thank you so much everyone. So I spoke with hubby and he smiled when I told him we needed to burn the stump.. you know that wicked little smile where I'm already envisioning I need to find the fire extinguisher in case he goes crazy. Well yes because he will act like he has to keep it burning all day. Next we will get quotes to paint the siding, and porch just in case we screw it up. A few window boxes and cleanup will make such an incredible difference. I also like the garage door dark again! Then after I've done it all and have nothing better to do I'll consider enlarging my driveway. All in all fantastic turnaround thanks to you. I feel great about it....See Morewisconsitom
