What would you plant under this window?
Comments (5)(Yucca smalliana "Bright Edge")...says it takes sun or shade. I actually saw it in someone else's yard and asked what it was. It would bring a different texture(it is not stiff like maybe an agave would be, but it does keep upright and looks like an agave or cactus). btw, the Yucca has alot of cool-looking plants in it, you may want to see, and the flowers are neat,too. Not sure if they are all tolerant of shade,so need to check that out. I noticed you have crotons to the left of the picture and that would be beautiful there,too, maybe try a variety that is more shade -loving(we have an expert on this board who could help w/ that). I have the petra , Mrs Icetone and both do well under an oak tree(they get some sun,east and west as it rises and after 4pm). teeka...See MoreWhat blinds/drapes/window treatments would you put here?
Comments (5)The dining room: Love the wall color, and I know you donâÂÂt want to hear this, but I love the color of the furniture. I think you could have an elegant, almost Gustavian look going on in there. I would change out the hardware to something in a brushed nickel finish. Love the chandy. I would want drapery panels in here, and would treat each window separately. Something like this might work, and would pair the rich wall color with the lighter finished furniture: audrey drape Then something simple for the chair seats: grace teal Try the trio of vases you have on the window seat in the FR as a centerpiece grouping on the DR table if you go with these fabrics. If you donâÂÂt want to use the cabinets for showing dishes, you could get some of the window wallpaper in a simple frost and cover the glass. etched glass wallpaper for windows Gathered sheer fabric is an alternative, but I am not sure that works with the style of the furniture. Or, take the cabinet out completely and use it in the sitting room as a bookcase. Replace it in the DR with another side piece, perhaps a solid wood piece in the finish color of the tabletop. I will say, tho, that I like the cabinet in the DR in part because it balances the height of the windows. For the sitting room, it is hard to say because we donâÂÂt know what the furniture or flooring will be like. But I would again think about panels, perhaps something in a textured linen or chenille, for a more casual and cozy feel. For the FR, I would like to see woven wood blinds or regular wood blinds to bring the floor color up to the window level. You could add fabric valances above the windows for some softness and color, and do matching or coordinating cushions on the window seats, and pillows for the sectional.
