I have 1 1/2 acres to landscape with trees and shrubs help!
Comments (14)+Sit back, relax, buy some books and start talking about what you want your garden to do for you. Are you a Vegetable gardener, want a swimming pool, orchard, wildflower meadow.. There is a great book called The American Meadow by John Greenlee. I could see developing Swaths of larger grasses combined with dark green sedges and wildflowers. I garden on 17 acres and it is TOTALLY different than gardening a lot.. Most of it , I have left wild and I manage the wildness. I have developed view lines from where I spend most of my time. I play with dimension and emphasize the stages. I create separate rooms in my mind. barriers are for piercing but create great privacy. The farther away, the larger the planting. small details are for by the house, pathways or where you spend time. I'd take it a bit at a time. I have been working on my cactus garden last year. This year I am working on a stone wall , but I am starting a bunch of wild grasses for plugs for next years project. You need to ask are you going to mow this place or are you going to get grasses that need no mowing OR WATERING. When one works on a large garden, one always has to think of how one will do this and keep it. Mowed areas must be defined apart from un-mowed areas. I go for the wild look and I love my short grass prairie grasses. I am lazy. I don't own a mower. Is there a HOA with expectations? My type of garden really pisses them off. There is so much to think about with an blank slate like this. Keep it this way for a year and see what comes up and do your research. Maybe there are some surprises under that dirt....See MoreFirst Apartment Living Room HELP!!!
Comments (14)So far you seem to be concentrating on cool colors and neutrals, and on cloudy/rainy/snowy days your apartment will seem rather cheerless. Introduce some warms colors, yellow and terracotta, for instance, with pillows and art. Find some very large abstract prints that have warm and cool colors both. The more wall space you can fill up with art that you love the more furnished your apartment will look even when you don't yet have all your furniture. Also, consider tribal rugs like Gabbeh (check esalerugs.com) instead of modern rugs for a more cozy and eclectic feel. You can return these rugs without charge, and you'll be able to pick pillows and other accessories using the colors taken from the rug. Make sure the rug is as large as you can afford because a larger rug will make your living area look larger and more "furnished". Don't forget books, plants and of course art to make your new home look stylish and warm. Try not to use blues and grays too much; that will just make your rooms look cold and forbidding....See MoreHelp with living room apartment - furniture problem
Comments (1)One more floor lamp on the other side of the console. Art on that wall. All four pieces can move with you. TV wall: back to IKEA. No sense spending money for something which may not fit a new space. Notice wood accents which will work with console. Coffee table: no, do two firm poufs/ottomans with a tray atop each....See MoreNeed some help with Living Room & Kitchen area in new apartment
Comments (5)Have you looked at Article? do you like this combo? I just recently got the black leather Sven sofa and that exact chair for my room. I love them! I also got the Sven leather bench/coffee table. prices are very reasonable. Then find the accessories. bring in some art or a rug w/color. I really loved the sven in the blue. this would look great w/your floor and cream wall color. (it is cream, right, and not the yellow in the picture?) Here's how the Sven sofa, bench/chair look: The pouf was from Amazon,,,the Tables and MCM credenza I've had and refinished myself. Rug I had, but I want to get something lighter. If you don't like the mcm style, they do have some others look at the Sven Birch Ivory Sofa. it's on sale! https://www.article.com I don't know know what your style is, but here's a sample mockup for the nook...I like the idea of the bench against the wall diff pendant. table ideas, and a darker chair...See More- 6 years ago
