That wonderful deciduous holly that bears those scarlet berries.It grows wild in wet areas usually in places wild blue berries thrive.It holds up GREAT in window boxes with evergreens .Use the floral foam to anchor everyone in (fit the foam good and snug)in the boxes.Don't forget to Wilt -pruf your evergreens.Wilt -pruf is an anti-dessicant that keeps evergreens and other dormant shrubs from drying out from the effects of wind and frozen soil in the winter.Spray them let them dry and place in the boxes.Spanish moss makes a great top dressing to disguise the floral foam.You may spray the berries as well.The berries of mountain ash will work also though not as upright in habit.Good luck!-D

Try BM Mount Saint Anne.

What makes it ugly is how the gravel looks blemished --- patches of this and that, grass, weeds, dead stuff, leaves, different levels. But paving/decking might be tricky if there is solid rock just below. One would really need to know its extent in order to know what is possible. This does not really look like an area for lawn grass. If you'd clean up the gravel so it is all one thing it would be better looking. If what grass we see in picture is all there is, it would probably be better to get rid of it and plant groundcover instead. In landscaping, there is no such thing as no maintenance. Everything (except solid concrete everywhere) needs some kind of maintenance. Plants need care especially while they are establishing.

so it's actually more orange, you'd say, then pink? I liked the pink tones! and yes, I hate the brown tones. totally here ya on that one. Such a cool looking house. I suppose doing a lime wash on the brick is a no? I mean, I think you could really brighten her up if you went that route. Look at Romabio and their before and afters. just spend a little time online looking at the transformations. It's not a regular paint either, so it's very very low maintenance. try these. instead of doing tans/greens/sage, try moving over into the blue/green and blue grays, along w/some white and tans. These blues, along w/the orange brick, are natural compliments. I love these two blues w/the white. you have the porch and railing that could use the diff blue tones. don't forget the porch ceiling in the pale blue.
