Potatoes Galore
Comments (3)I live on the Arkansas/Louisiana state line & will be growing potatoes for the first time. I started a compost pile in a couple old tires I found. Thinking I'll spread some soil over that & set 3-4 seed potatoes. And just keep adding soil and/or compost as they leaf out, adding another tire when needed. I'm thinking to grow a couple varieties, each in its own tires. If I don't think I'll have enough tires I think I'll use large plastic trash cans, cut holes in bottom & bottom sides,& place off the ground on some bricks or something. Dump some compost & soil, potatoes , etc. Someone told me I couldn't start any until Feb/March....See Moreblack sectional sofa
Comments (2)We need pictures but off hand the first thing I would do is get a nice large light colored rug then choose a color from it for the chairs. Sorry meant t post a pic. I have no idea of your style so just choose one you love. If you have another seating area to decorate PLEASE do not choose brown or black leather there are so many beautiful colors of leather that are so much easier to actually decorate around....See MoreArt with sectional sofa and transom windows
Comments (13)just a few ideas that I'd suggest. a plant in the corner where that little bench is. I posted two diff types, either would work. I gave you a side table w/a lamp on the other end. I like the idea of a pouf in this camel color to warm things up a bit, or do a stool or two placed in front of fireplace. I also like these shelves between the two windows. ( I don't know what furry dog is going to do with these,,,maybe have the toddler stand on his back?? lol. hang them well out of reach and they'll be fine. I'd put a few small plants on them. This will eat up that middle space) You could also take these teak decking tiles and attach a plant/pot onto it, and hang two of these between the transom windows. if you want a bench, do something like this in the wood. all of those neutral gray tones make everything seem very cool. add some wood and some texture to warm it up a bit. over the back of sofa do a cool piece of art don't hang them too high. (your tv is hung too high btw. ) and a rug for the sofa area A jute one would work too for the dining area, you could also do this jute rug like shown. for the wall, I'd do another piece of sizable art to hang on that one wall. This one has a larger wall, but look at the black and white picture. basically the same size of yours. you want something this big. Or, do a shallow buffet or console w/a mirror over it and some greenery, like shown here....See MoreWall colors to suit a caramel/tan leather sectional sofa.
Comments (6)This off topic, but I thought I’d mention it. I have a vintage caramel leather chair from pottery barn that I had near a window. It was a rich creamy caramel colour and the change was so gradual I didn’t notice it until several months later. The light really does a number on leather and areas where the light/sun hit the chair has lightened the leather a lot. Those parts are more a grayish caramel and I wish I’d noticed it sooner. I’ve moved the chair away from the windows but the damage is done. Just a heads up since you said you wanted to put your couch in front of the window....See More
