Comments (6)What about the method I use for b*****d plants. When I lived in Australia, one of my nemeses was Onion Weed, Nothoscordum spp. It took a while, and lots pf aluminium dishes, but I completely eliminated it in my garden. Get a tub made from dense material, eg plastic or metal, and place over the plants and bury the first inch or two. If it sprouts from the rhizomes, either replace the original lid with a wider one or add a second one over the new shoots You coulld also give them a GOOD spray of Roundup, or, even better, Glyphosate 360, before you put their "lid" on. Works every time....See MoreCabinet color HELP for Sea Pearl (New Madre Perla) w/pics in comments
Comments (26)@funcolors Curious why you don't trust the colors the designer specified? That's a good question, one that my husband is asking me as well. I told her I wanted a light airy kitchen that wasn't stark white but had the overall appearance and feel of a white kitchen. She went to the stone yard and looked at my exact slabs, had all my inspiration pics, house layout, pictures etc - probably 2 dozen in all. She said the color was selected because it 1) coordinated and 2) had the warmth and depth to handle a large room with a northern exposure. Also I mentioned I didn't like the vast contrast between a gray counter top and stark white cabinets. She selected a blue based on my inspiration photos and knowing I wanted a dark island. Aesthetic White on three different sample boards in the partially done home reads pink to me. I think it's just too dark. Perhaps needs to be a bit lighter? But then again, too light gives too much contrast between cabinets and counters which with grayish counters can make them look dingy and dirty. After playing with sample boards I felt the color choice was not right so I did inquire on Friday about another alternative to Aesthetic White and I haven't heard back yet. Foggy Day was a surprise to me, because it is so light. I inquired of something darker and threw out Grays Harbor since it was next down on the paint strip and she said it had too much gray and wouldn't be balanced. Her second choice for the island was Grizzle Gray. I do like that color, but it reads like cement, but perhaps it will warm up with the northern exposure? I told her I wanted a relaxing spa feel in the master bathroom and she chose SW Misty. That color is pretty, but seems more appropriate for a child's room. And I don't see how it plays nice with Aesthetic White trim and doors. Seems to clash. At least to my eye. I hope that answers your questions. I am not good at color which is why I sought paid help. She is closer than what I have done on my own. It's just doesn't speak to me and when I look at it all together I don't sit back with a smile and get excited. I want to be excited about my choices....See MoreHelp with backyard design :) Pics in comments
Comments (9)Transferring the same scheme to the plan, adding a little more. (There could be patches of flowering perennials in the groundcover bed and a couple of tall shrubs at the sides of lot for privacy. You need to refine the plan, working out details. Or work out a new scheme that better suits your goals. Mainly what I'm shooting for with this scheme is creating privacy and a view backdrop to enjoy from the patio. The foreground would be relatively level turf....See MoreNeed help curtains and rug (pics in comments)
