flower bed suggestions
This side of the garage needs help desperately! What would you plant here? Full sun. The spruce tree may need to be removed as it’s too close to the building and back side of it doesn’t look too great. I have hostas, lilies and sedum on hand.
I was thinking taller planters in front of garage once it’s finished.

Please help. I need suggestions for exterior redesign of house.
Comments (15)hello bonnielynn75 and THANK YOU! your comment put a smile on my face re the red on the interior side of the door. It IS red on the inside as well, he insisted on that when we purchased it. no one here has it red on the inside and I wanted it to be white on the inside. do you see my dilemma?;) I agree with everything you are saying, I suppose this is the reason why so far I was not 100% sure about the black for the door either, although I like black...Agree, there is too much wall and I find the house to be looking a bit 'bland' and would like to change that. I LOVE shutters, but read somewhere that you never put shutters on wide windows, so got unsure about that, too...but perhaps just the one as I stated earlier. Would the color on that shutter be the same as the door (if I ever settle on a door color)? Unfortunately window boxes are not an option as we have quite a few cats and they may be used as litter boxes;) please don't tell me to get rid of the cats;)... Regarding the stoop (entrance) : we need to add another step (made of cement) on top of the existing step: it was removed when the new door was fitted. We were thinking of putting slate tiles or something dark to match the roof, if that makes any sense.... It is porous cement so unsuitable for painting, I think. What place in Ireland did you visit, we are close to the Irish Sea in the country surrounded by sheep;)......See Moreraised flower beds

Comments (12)Hi. I'm not that keen on the paper with the rest of the room, it doesn't look bad at all but it doesn't look stunning either imo. Everything else looks to be more of a greige? I'd look at the same paper in truffle, sable, dark linen or even the pewter may work ( hard to tell colours on screen so would get samples of all!). I agree with the others, would go for plain bed linen and add pattern in cushions and/ or throw. It looks as if a chalk pink would work best with the greige. Maybe a chalky white for the remaining furniture. You could also break up the window ŵall by adding a trim and maybe Pom poms to the bottom of the blind. A little antique gold for accessories, lights etc would also work well....See MoreCan you help - matching new bed to some old furniture
Comments (0)My father left me a house in portugal and it has some mahogony furniture although the wardrobes are built in and I cannot remember what kind of wood they are. They look fine. it is quite minimilist and the walls are white which looks good. I was going to buy 2 double beds which were a pine wood frame simple modern design then I thought they would look out of place with the mahogany chest of drawers in one bedroom. The other bedroom only has a small table thing in mahogony which could be removed but I think it would be better to have everything the same not bitty. I have been looking at beds with fabric headboards steel grey or linen and one described as mocha with dark legs. I would like to have something neutral. I love natural wood simple modern design beds but I dont want to get rid of all the beatiful mahagony furniture so I am thinking a neutral colour like linen fabric bed with whte bed linen might look better. I am completely unable to picture it and decide. It is not much to go on but there is an example of mahogony with some of the beds for sale below. I would be very grateful for any suggestions Jill...See MoreJes
4 years agoThank you! I kind of wanted to stay away from so many daylilies. The previous owner had a huge lily bed about 20 feet from the side of the garage. I believe they need to be split too!

This condition is more important than the garden, and could cost $$$ the longer you wait. Check YouTube videos for what is involved in bracing up a sagging ridge beam.

4 years agoThank you all so much! I stopped at a nursery yesterday to look at my options. Wow was it overwhelming! I cannot wait to start working on this. One more question! If I were to take out the spruce tree on the left (it is too close to garage and half dead on other side - I’ll include photo), what type of tree would you recommend putting there? I would love to do a memorial tree. One that would flower either white or pink flowers. Maybe royal star magnolia or Japanese apple blossom? I’d love something with longer lasting blooms - zone 4. I have hydrangeas on the opposite side
