Make my room more family friendly
Comments (42)Hi Janis Unfortunately I am not in the Boston area - I live in Ireland! Yes there are red items in 3 of the main rooms, the kitchen, sitting room and tv room (library) - although we have pared those back now and it's not as overwhelming. thanks for all your help everyone, i really feel like it's made a big difference and am excited to finish the tv room and then refresh the play room. do you think I should move the piano to the sitting room? and would the jazz painting work in the tv room? speak later, thanks!...See MoreLarge Entryway of a bungalow ideas
Comments (26)Hi, you have a lovely home! I read through your thread, and I like Dar Eckarts suggestion above the best. I think because of the symmetry of it as an H shaped house is symmetrical, and it would also keep the space looking decorated but still open and uncluttered which is what an entrance should be. Sorry, but I don't care for the bookcase idea in an entrance. I also noticed the masks you have, and think it would be great to decorate the space using them as inspiration. Here is a photo to show you the kind of rug I think would work here....See MoreRevamp our hallway

Comments (14)Gosh, I've returned after a week travelling for work to loads more suggestions - thanks all! To respond specifically: - the house faces south so gets the lovely morning (and in the uk, sometimes the only) sun. - the husband has avoided putting plants in the planters due to maintenance and they're generally twee so comments here have confirmed to me that they will be coming out - love the idea of wooden boxes with the spiky plants and grasses - also like the concept of taking out the grass/bed/tree in front completely out and replacing with slabs - yes to lightening the windows - to the Barn company, I honestly don't mind the advice and I'd never seen sloping garage roofs. - nicking ideas from landscaping of new builds....great idea! - finally, Helen Scholes, I'm embarrassed about the spelling of kerb. Had no idea! Thanks again all....See MoreSoph Tee

4 years agoMeter boxes are ugly aren’t they! You could paint them black with appropriate metal paint, might help them seem less obvious. Of course you still need access to them plus I can see an outside tap there as well. So going from your inspiration pic I might go for a large pot with hostas in then get a wheelbase so you can move the pot when needed. A biggish ceramic glazed one which is frost resistant are best in my experience. Hostas will do great in a pot and come back year after year plus having it on a wheelbase will make it harder for the slugs to get at:). I can suggest a few plants for hanging basket if you want low maintenance but I was thinking instead of plants how about a nice lantern light. You could d.i.y your own using the basket upside down then hanging lots of beads and solar lights or fairy lights. Agree with Forza about cutting back the roses and ground cover suggestions. Here’s some more inspo pics.
