Which option would you choose?
Comments (32)Thank you all so much. My husband and I are really conflicted on what to do about the tree. To add to what the last poster put...it kills me to think we could possibly remove this tree. My babies are 5 and 3, and they've grown up playing near it, and learning about nature, seasons, birds, etc. from this tree. It has significant meaning to me. Plus, I really do think it helps our front porch and living room stay cool. It would definitely alter the look of our house if we removed it. I just honestly don't know how we'd take care of the sidewalk without killing the tree. Even if we tore up the two blocks of sidewalk being buckled up, how would we even fix it, because the root is clearly what is tearing up the sidewalk? We couldn't remove the root or grind it without killing the tree, right? In any case, the tree needs trimmed. The branches are extending over the roof of our front porch, causes clogged gutters and so forth. It's enormous and needs to be at least trimmed. That we can all agree on! I want to save it. My husband is very anti-tree and wouldn't be upset if it was gone. I personally listed the tree as one of the reasons I wanted the house. I hear that at one time, when the street was newly established, every other house had a sycamore, but over the years, they've been removed. We've also asked the city about help, and they said that trees and sidewalks are all the owners' responsibilities. :( Trust me, I want to save the tree at all costs, but I have to think about safety, too, you know? This is all very confusing. Especially because today, my daughter and I made shortbread cookies, and as I was cleaning up the mess, I thought, "If these were dark granite counters, I would have smears and streaks from rolling this dough." And with the laminate, it was very easy cleanup. So why mess with a good thing? See how conflicted I am? I'm not completely sold on granite, really. I just think it looks sooo pretty, that's all. Thanks again, everyone! Oh, and the reason we would want a permanant roof over the patio is because we really would like a ceiling fan, and it would feel like more of a room than it would if we just had an awning. But i did consider one. Beth...See MoreForced to choose only 1 plant in your collection, which would you keep
Comments (36)Kara, holy cow!!! What a beautiful plant! I can't blame you for favoring this one. I wish I had one in my front yard. You must admire it every time you walk by. It is simply amazing...Thanks for taking that pic for us... Nancy, not sure which one I would keep either!! Lol. So many favorites but if forced, we would all have to pic one( Stupidlazydog...You crack me up lol I would have a hard time especially if I had the room to grow more like you to..You have some gems there and I love seeing you post them. Thanks Gabby, quite interesting..Does it grow slowly? What a great color on that. I am almost in love with anything that grows black leaves, like the 'black prince'. What a nice dark color on that one. Josue, wow, what a huge Aloe..I'll bet you could squeeze juice out of those leaves..Very big. Maria, did I ever tell you how badly I want one? Yup. I keep admiring your plant there. You must look at it every day and treasure that one. Love that one. Mike...See MoreWhich rug would you choose for this living room??
Comments (83)Thank you everyone! I do appreciate and like all of the suggestions! It's such a hard choice and I am not sure what direction to go. I am kinda leaning toward one of the more neutral options- both my spouse and I like this one: However, I feel that this more neutral rug might be too safe of an option. The reason why we are getting a new rug is because the current rug looks way to small and does not add anything to the room (appears more or less as a solid silver/light gray color) and just looks "blah." And I want a rug that gives a more warm/welcoming feeling. The obstacle we are running into is trying to determine if the more oriental/persian rugs with more color would clash with the ottoman fabric too much. We might have to wait until we see how the sofa and ottoman look in person to get a better picture. Hopefully we can do a mock up with all the actual furniture in place to help decide. I think it will take some time still to come to a decision since I am so indecisive and it seems what I like changes all the time. The other question is about rug size- we are looking at 9x12 and 10x14 size options- I like the extra room around the furniture that a 10x14 affords us. Here are two mock ups of the room where the furniture is of scale to what we actually have/ordered: Again, super appreciative of everyone's input! Thank you Houzzers :)...See MoreThe agony of a foot! Which floor plan would you choose?
Comments (37)I'm not a fan of powder rooms in the mudroom with the exception of that it makes it easy access when outside. We have a bench/hooks/cubbies in ours and shoes storage, but I always consider it our one dirty area. I clean it regularly, but it is certainly not an area that I really want guests to see even though as it is in our current house all enter there anyway due to the driveway and how far the entrance is from it. I live in a southern climate, but I could see a snowy climate have some wet areas and kids is a whole other issue with keeping it picked up. When we have people over and kids running around they just leave stuff all over the floor in there as they go in and out. That is a reason I want a mudroom to contain that mess. Just flip the powder room if you're leaning towards option C. It also removes the wall that will be noisiest without doing any special noise mitigation from sharing it with the family room. Your kitchen in any of the plans does not look small or undersized. A foot in length doesn't matter as much as the efficiency of the layout matters. If you had a small kitchen then I could see that foot being an issue, but you have a good sized kitchen....See Morecarolyn137
