Creative minds... I need your help.
Comments (1)First question is, what kind of siding is that and does it need regular painting? I see gutters and so are they fully covered with leaf guards? I'd hate to see you blocking the second story interest of the windows . These are important to the appeal of the mult-level roofline. The single window nook between the main house and the garage is begging for not a crape myrtle but perhaps a nice vitex that isn't insulted by harsh pruning should you need to get behind it to paint. It's airy looking in form and wonderful for lighting of the small white holiday type or simple uplighting. The breadth of it's branches provide dappled shade to annuals and it doesn't mind underplantings. Garage wall is begging for some dark lump medium height evergreens (holly rather than boxwood which are suffering from leaf miners/virals). I think it's important to not cover the break between the two grey tones of the garage. It is visually interesting with the stark white break. Is that shredded hay or dormant Bermuda grass lawn out front? Do you have a edging planting bed on the lawn side of the sidewalk? The chairs on the front porch and pairs of windows behind them say you don't want anything even mid tall fronting porch in the beds. But, you might want to extend and curve the left porch bed around the side of the house....See MoreBirth Announcement wording...need creative minds

Comments (19)Peg board is a good idea and I'm not really sure what kind of hooks are out there either, so I'd have to look into it further. I looked at pegboard today, the very heavy duty ones are kinda spendy for a 4 x 8 sheet. I'd probably go with the 1/8 inch material and reinforce with a 2x4 frame. I had actually considered using wooden doors securred together. I found a bunch of louvered bifold doors today at a local salvage place. (habitat for humanity resale store)and I thought I could attach a shelving track to the doors for adjustable shelves. So where the chairs would go, I could use some type of utility hook screwed into the door. I think even though the space is small that with creative use of space and organization of the items in there, it should work. Keeping in mind that this is a trial run and I can always take a bigger space if need be....See MoreAny Creative Minds? Need Backsplash Advice!
