    This is nice I love it lots, is the pot black?

    There are narrow tall self watering planters not sure if they are too wide at the top however. You can view the dimensions. Fairfield is the name of the planter.

    They are also made with more smooth sides vs what you see here

    Porter is this black?

    This is too colonial for the home yet .... other options are about 12" to 14" deep so narrow scale on the rectangle planters

    I want something contemporary so as it flows with interior of the house, will this do?some research that I did on the colour ...the second one I love and we have them in white

    The first photo is very nice.

    I personally prefer for the front the material such as you show in your grouping without the legs... this look more mid century modern to me. Something that looks such as cement as seen in my photo one or your photos to give some texture against the walls and floor.

    Perfect....so should it be black or cement like your first pic Porter

    Are you doing a single or adding some like you had posted in front for a group of 3?

    I am a woman on a mission No it's actually a mild charcoal gray, similar to the hat you had posted number 3.The area above is covered completely

  • 9 years ago

    @Daniel What do you mean? Are you saying this pot is bigger? It actually looks nice and for the space I think right size maybe I should take more pics from different fronts.

    as for colours not very found of colours but am open for suggestions and other ideas as long at it looks nice

  • 9 years ago

    It looks very nice Lisa... your space is not vast and it has the modern look you like and is a nice look.

    I had asked about your front above the front door and where the plant is. Is it open to the sky or covered? Where are your house numbers? Thinking you could add some lovely modern numbers above the door providing u don't have a ton of numbers in your address:)

    However, not certain how it is from the street as viewed and so on!

    Hi Porter.....Many thanks for the feedback.....so where the plant is its a closed roof as this the house landing.So we live inside an estate (and the house numbers are outside the garage door) it wouldn't make sense to have the house number here as it's already shown before one gets here and this front door only is see it as there is another small entrance open to the public

    do you think the other side I should put something there or this is fine ? Other side as the right hand where plant is

  • 9 years ago

    I think if you did anything on the other side it should be round and more mid scale vs. larger such as larger of three you posted which was blue (above), but not blue....

    Otherwise you might try one on the right wall as you walk up if they have a slightly smaller rectangle if this is too long and it would fit.

    Have you ever considered a door knocker in keeping with the theme of the home?? It might give a very nice look and a bit of decor. Nothing traditional many out there... just passed through my mind.

    Here is the photo of your front... I put an X where you might fit a smaller scale or same as what you have if it is wide enough there or opposite in a round cement plantar. What do you think? You could try not planting it if you think it's an option for either and return if necessary.

    What is going on with the couch and all that???

  • 9 years ago

    maybe shapes such as this across if it works... not square!

    No pic attached I love these shapes and thanks will look into it

    the option of threes is very nice and different sizes works pity of the space here but I could visualise it

    re couch am gathering everything together will post pics lol but so far so good

  • 9 years ago

    on the right by the door either slight tall more slender round or round low......

    the x on the wall up the stair a small rectangle if it works instead.....

    Ok perfect I get it, the c on the wall up star won't work but other area will do. Will do some flower pot shopping and see how far it takes me

    should it be same colour or different?

  • 9 years ago

    The dark circle and the more rectangle was meant for by the door... however, I'd do a circular slight tall on the right not square as the photo! The X below at the step was meant for a small rectangle there vs other.....


    I have a program for all this and furniture and so on yet I HATE IT! I have THREE to tell you the truth. I could be of a lot more help if I used them! One I can't navigate it's for architects and home building and the rest are very easy. I did a room today for fun before I went to do it in real life and well.... too much to post here.

    :) good luck
