make urgly fence more attractive, any idea?
Comments (3)This fence really bothers you doesn't it ? For a quick fix, I would paint it. For a slower fix, the trellis is good idea. My sister has wire, its just a big cross, like an 'X' across each panel of the fence, and she has grown a twining vine up it. It looks lovely, she has a Trachelospermum jasminoides vine which is quite fast growing, where I live, and the flowers are fragrant. I like the blackboard idea, I have done that at a place I lived. Its easy and cheap and young children love it, sitting there playing schools, and you get to see there lovely pictures on the board. Heaven. Hope you come up with something nice for your fence.

Comments (3)You want to attract more of those? I have a 100% guaranteed method: You put female luna moths outside your house. I'll be here all week. :D Congrats on your find. I've had neighbors find them on their houses but I've never found one at my house :( They are my favorite moth. I have a load of their cats on sweetgum and paper birch right now. I've gotten a few to switch over to walnut since I'm running low on birch and the sweetgums are a little stunted this year (small leaves).

Comments (21)Landscaping definitely need updating and definition. As it is, everything seems to be nebulously running into everything else. For example, at each side of the entrance area are what look like they are trying to be small tree forms ... but there is no canopy shape or separation from shrubs below. For analyzing the foundation planting, you need pictures that are taken about 50% closer to the house so that things can be seen well. Provide a full panorama taken from a central (in line with door) single camera position. Pan from far left to far right, taking slightly overlapping pictures. Include background space that is beyond the ends of the house. No way would I change the stone to wood as in your inspiration picture. It is not a match. Is the stone in bad shape? I don't see the problem with it....See Moreminor changes to make the building more attractive?
Comments (9)Around my way, there are plenty of old Victorians that had all the trim removed and vinyl siding put on. They look a lot like your house because the siding tends to be put on top of older siding, making the windows and window trim less prominent. I work in a building built in the 1700s. It's last incarnation was a sorority and it's current is an office building. You'd never guess it was truly old. You might think 1950s, because the interior is worn and not up-to-date, but you'd be off by 200 years. If they redid the interior, you'd never know....See Moredeep p
