Need some ideas to get me started - new here.
Comments (10)WOW! And here I thought that no one replied... turns out I just never got any emails about the replies. Anyways, thanks to everyone who did reply for all the hints and tips. In the time that has passed I have walked with my landlord over the whole property and he's all for what I plan on doing here as he's been unlucky with his tenants to date not wanting to do any type of improving upon the aesthetics here. I can understand why the landlord hasn't put any type of money into the place as when we moved in last fall the whole back yard under all those nice shade trees was nothing but dirt. That's why the grass is so patchy back there. The tenant before us had 28 fox-hounds in a big caged in area under those trees... the area is almost completely filled in with grass that was seeded last fall, needs another seeding though. Now that I've had more of a chance to pay attention to just how much sun each area I plan to plant gets I now know better what to plant there. The back of the house gets quite a bit of sun actually, almost 6 full hours of afternoon sun whereas the front gets full morning sun. The place we chose for the veggie garden is in an area that gets sun from about 9am until dusk so it will have enough, plus it's close enough to the water hose! I've also identified some of the "bushes" that I didn't know when I originally posted this thread. There are two large groups of Common or American Elderberry (one that is crowding out my snowball bush) as well as some honeysuckle bushes, a large Mimosa tree that's just about to bloom and a straggly looking red Mulberry. It's difficult to tell at first whether some of the trees are Black Walnut or Tree of heaven but I figured it out as the BW has it's fruits developing. There are still two unidentified bushes but I'll figure it all out. Now that I've bored y'all with my uninteresting story I guess I should end this by saying that I will probably be posting photos of the design I finally chose for this large property. From what I've figured so far, the investment will be no more than about 2-3000. We are planning on staying here for quite a while... don't plan on moving until hubby's ready to retire (15 more years) and the landlord knows that if we do move most of what I plant will be moving with me. Especially the bulbs and anything easily transported to the new place. So once again, thanks for all the replies. ttfn Mystic....See MoreEntryway Ideas (when you have no entryway)
Comments (56)Well, I managed to build an entryway table this weekend...so there's no going back now - no more couch on the wall! Oh and those unsightly sidelight curtains found their final resting place in the trash too. Whoever came up with these window films is genius! Thinking maybe chalk painting the table, sanding a few edges to expose the wood and some storage baskets below for blankets and such....See More1 YEAR LATER AND STILL EMPTY ENTRY WAY
Comments (11)Wells bells Amy... If you still have those couple arched mirrors from other postings and haven' filled those holes with sconces yet.. And YES! you can still build in a big ole bookshelf in that area too.. Get radical. Put up those mirrors to center on new sconces- it will require some glass cutting to do it. Find a good local cabinet/wood maker to build you a centerpiece of a bookshelf upper, with some lower bench/sitting bits. I would suggest doing it up on legs instead of flush to the floor. And keep the woodwork in mind, fit the whole thing to that, like it was always built in there. If the opposite? wall of other posts of yours still have that gorgeous framework and hanging lights... Open that up too with mirrors, perhaps a coathook/ bench space to mirror the bookcase.. but not necessarily the same mirrors- coordinate rather than match. Hanging lights to work with the sconces on the bookcase wall....See MoreMain entryway empty space
Comments (10)It’s hard to tell - is there a step down from the tile to the dark floor? If so, I’d be careful about adding much to the area. People unfamiliar with your house don’t need to be walking around stuff or looking around at stuff and not see the step. If you feel you absolutely need a table, replace that stand with the red vase on it with something taller and not deep front-to-back so it’s out of the way....See Moreeverdebz
