Townhouse Decorating Ideas
I just bought a townhouse, it was recently staged for sale. It has brand new cream carpet and newly painted green walls. Please disregard the furniture that is in the pict, it’s not mine. I have a gray sofa and 2 black and white chairs. I am thinking about buying a casual white sofa, I am trying to create an updated farmhouse look, it that makes sense. Any advise on furniture, colors, curtains, lightening and placement is appreciated.

Comments (11)Thank you Nell. Your feedback lets me know I am on the right track in my thinking. Yes this JM gets 8 to 10 feet. I am thinking of limbing up the dogwood and the larger crepe myrtle. The other two crepe myrtles, the smaller and the one by the stoop I plan to move and hope a friend will take them. I did start out trying to have some of everything and a lot of crepe myrtle, becuase I love them so. Now, rhythm through repetition is what I am seeking to do. The question is "what to repeat and where" ? That short crepe myrtle by the sidewalk is at its full size and it has already been forced from over the walk. I have two more euonymous boxwoods (the small shrub) to add to the four I have. Although I just added two of the three peonies, I have already decided that I want to move all three..probably to the backyard with the other 5 or 6 peonies there. I also plan to move the Camelia although I have read they resent being moved. I wonder if I should get another Euonymous greenspire (in front of window) or get something with a differnt shape and taller for either side. I have finally decided I cannot have some of everything so I will go with my favorites (front, back and side). I have to research the brick thing since I am not getting what you say. But allwork should move faster once I find some assistive labor. I simply do not want to do the really hard labor myself anymore. Thank you for your feedback..I really appreciate it....See MorePrivacy fence idea for a second level townhouse deck

Comments (3)In case anyone else notices this post, I have two thoughts. One, they sell dwarf azaleas which in the NE is what I would replace an overgrown one with. Two, you can snazz up a bleak cement porch steps with pots of geraniums. Easy peasy. There are other things top put in pots but that is one suggestion for snazzing up steps. Begonias are a nice substitution if the site is shady. In the winter, buy an evergreen rope to hang in front of the railing, with a few red velvet bows strategically placed....See MoreIdeas for a small townhouse patio
Comments (9)Nice big patio! The pine needles will always be there so I'd focus on easy clean-up. I'd take out the rock for sure. I'm not usually a fan of artificial turf but in your case it might be a good option. It should be relatively easy to sweep or blow the pine needles out. Will the dogs use it for their business? Real turf would be a pain to keep watered and with two dogs peeing on it several times a day it wouldn't hold up for long. Any chance you can take the dogs out several times a day instead of them using the patio? That would be my preference. You can add interest and color by investing is a few large pots filled with small shrubs or trees. Enjoy your great outdoor space in sunny San Diego!...See MoreDiane

6 years agoThe furniture you want and have, especially the dining set, and want, and the condo itself do not say: "updated farmhouse." Your Ideabooks are all pretty much transitional style, which works for the space. So make your art, lamps, pillows, furnishings in that direction. Leave the green for now with the option to paint it white.
A good place to begin is with art. The art shown is too small. Consider two very large paintings in beautiful colors that incorporate cream, gray, black, and a smidge of the blue green--an abstract for the living room and more representational for dining. Many paintings come in large sizes. These will give you an idea:

This is my kitchen, should I paint the walls and if so, what color, I am adding stainless appliances and should I add a tile backsplash

6 years agoDiane,,instead of painting the kitchen, I'd do a nice piece of art, a new chandelier, a warm wood or white table,
and lose those drapes! I'd do a nice woven wood blind, or some roman blinds w/a bit of color/pattern.
down the road, doing a little built in nook would be ideal

6 years agoIt looks like you have some nice pieces so far. Getting a nice chandelier for over the dining room table, and a coffee table for the living room should be nice additions to your space. Here are some ideas from our designs below to aid you:
