What would be good for 18" of shady garden space?
Comments (6)Dicentra eximia doesn't go dormant and blooms on and off all season but it also isn't really bright, with slightly frosty ferny foliage and pink or white flowers. Iris cristata does well in shade and blooms in spring. Hellebores do well in shade, though even better in some sun in my area, and have early, long-blooming flowers and interesting foliage. Epimediums have relatively early, airy flowers and some have foliage with color on new growth and in the fall. Can you add a photo of the area since it may answer some of my questions? I am wondering if this area needs something taller and whether it can have plants that can grow in an18" wide bed, but have foliage that will spread wider. What is the quality of the shade: brighter on one side so taller plants may lean, dense shade, speckled shade, lots of indirect light, etc.? Would you be willing to add annual shade plants either in a taller narrow pot or in the ground such as coleus that could be wintered over?...See MoreFurnish Florida Beach Condo
Comments (23)Yes as havingfun said some do some don't. In my area for some reason September , October and November are the best CL months for furniture ( sometimes throughout the summer) . Once we are in full season the prices go way way up and it's harder to find nice things at good prices. November is pushing it but great finds are still there. If you are lucky you will find that expensive but hardly sat on sofa one has in the formal living room of their 2nd home and out of boredom they just want to redecorate. Normally things in that scenario are priced way to high for CL to start but eventually come down. If you really like something though go and see it to get your foot in the door. You can always make an offer. A low offer will most always be excepted from the person with a van or truck before a person with a car. I have a van so when inquiring on big stuff I mention that in the 1st sentence. If I'm the one selling I always get back with the people who say they have a vehicle that can haul first. When shopping on CL you have to usually just zero in on items individually. If you look at the rooms as a whole you might miss some good stuff....See MoreHelp Me Decorate Cute Florida Condo
Comments (23)Congrats. What furnishings will you be bringing with you? This really cute condo is small enough that a room rug is unnecessary -- a room sized rug would even visually shrink and warm/heat the space. That doesn't mean you couldn't put a 3'x5' rug beneath a chair and ottoman. I grew up in a kitchen with walls and (metal) cabinets painted pale yellow, with only slightly darker yellow window trim and recently have been seriously considering repainting my own kitchen two shades of the same color ... perhaps blue; perhaps yellow. Perhaps you could use two shades of your own favorite color for your kitchen. Are you planning to leave the wallpaper trim tape atop the wall? If so, you might take that color into consideration as you choose your paint colors. Is that the back of a microwave I see at the peninsula? If you're not going to use that bar as a bar (wouldn't), consider removing it and perhaps adding a rectangle box shelf (with a back to it) the top of that pony wall so you'll have a shelf for your microwave and/or toaster oven without them sitting on your countertop. You'd probably have room to set S&P and sugar bowl and napkin holder on the countertop beneath the overhang of a box shelf and still be able to use the countertop space in front of that for meal prep. Instead of just a sideboard w/art beside the kitchen, consider a full 6' high china cabinet -- saving your kitchen cabinet space for other items. Having solid doors below give you storage for things you don't want to display; having glass doors above enables you to display some of your dishes. The open shelves in the middle enable you to place items there you need to access regularly such as decorative canisters. If your china cabinet and dining table/chairs are wood with a medium finish, that will visually warm your space. For end tables and bed side tables, consider 2drawer filing cabinets made of the same wood as your dining set. Not only will your "tables" do double duty as storage for documents you need to keep, the drawers are deep enough for purses and/or camera equipment and/or other hobby items. Some have a third shallow drawer above the two file drawers and some even have locks. https://www.google.com/search?q=two+drawer+wood+file+cabinets&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjbupSi_7PaAhWLVN8KHfHRBxQQ_AUICygC&biw=1366&bih=650...See MorePaint color suggestions for a Florida banquet space?
Comments (9)Oh how fun to be on the paint committee! Been there, done that. My suggestion would be to bring out all the awesome details that are being missed by having everything painted one color. See pic. For the canopies on the other side, paint the beige white. Since you have a stopping point where the arches are, paint that the existing blue to draw your eye to that area. Encourage the facility to get round white tables for dining-so much cozier!...See MoreRelated Professionals
