Please help me design a new bed(s) for my front yard
Comments (20)I remember how difficult it is to get started when you have a bare, flat yard. I kept staring out the windows, trying to imagine what I could plant where. It helps if you have someone stand outside while you look out the windows. Have your helper walk around from place to place, waving his/her arms, and maybe even holding a broom up overhead. Try to imagine your helper is a bush or a tree. When your helper gets to a spot that looks good from the inside, make a note of the position, or have your helper plant a garden stake (much easier to move than a tree!) Then go stand outside, or across the street, and see if that really is a good place for a tree. Use pots of annuals which you can move around until you find a space placement that suits you. THEN dig a bed. You can always set out empty boxes, or laundry baskets or even chairs to find spots for a shrub. Anything of a similar size that's easily movable will do. Here are some general principals I've found helpful. If the front is your main entrance, plant things that you will be happy to see when you come home. Start planting close to the walk and steps. This will encourage you to expand. Take it slow. I read once that you should live in a house though one set of seasons before you do any major changes. I translated that into planting annuals at first...which will have to be redone anyway. Fall is really the best time to plant trees and shrubs, as then they will get lots of rain. And, they will be cheaper at the 'year end' sales. Plant evergreens and long season perennials in the front as you and the neighbors will be looking at this area every day. Don't be afraid to take out something you don't like. Try to transplant it, or give it away. If it lives, fine, but you don't have to put up with something you don't like. Bare ground will make you feel better than a plant that irriates you. Don't plant acid loving plants close to the foundation of the house or near the cement path or sidewalk. They won't thrive. I figured this out after losing a row of azaleas, one by one. You can buy spray paint that is specially made to be sprayed holding the can upside down, so you can mark the edges of the beds. Just make sure that it isn't 'clear' paint. (Yes, it does come that way - a friend did this!) Or take a container of flour out and use that to mark plant placement or bed edges if you want a very temporary marking. The front yard is your house's public face and a place to show off your gardening skills. Rather than screening off the street, plant so that people driving or walking by will have something pleasant to look at and your visitors will find inviting. And for safety reasons, you don't want to 'hide' your house. Burglars go for entrances that are screened off from the view of the neighbors. Re paths: Make sure you leave good access to the utility boxes. Make sure you can get a lawnmower and wheelbarrow everywhere they'll need to go. You won't want low branching trees too near paths, either. If you don't have a pleasant view out the windows, one small patch of bright color will draw your eye away from the eyesore. Try a few pots of color, just set out on the ground, and see how they draw your attention. You do want to 'hide' the foundation of the house with taller, more solid shrubs. This will help transition the house into the lot, and help it look 'planted' rather than just 'plopped' onto the lot. Place lower plants further away from the house, along the path and sidewalk. You don't have to have ANY lawn in the front, but you don't have to take it all out at once, either. Have fun! Daphne in Tacoma...See MorePlease help identify manufacturer of Horchow Bed set
Comments (4)I ran across this website and noticed that some of the furniture is identical to those showing on the Horchow / Neiman Marcus websites. Of course the collection names are different. For instance, the Charleston collection on Horchow appears to be the American Drew / Jessica McClintock collection on this website. I have never used Home Gallery Furniture so I cannot vouch for their service/prices. Here is a link that might be useful: Home Gallery Furniture...See MoreStill looking for help with dining chairs!

Comments (14)karezz, I like the style les posted, that's sort of what I had in mind when I said parsons with no skirt, but better. I had a spare pair of smallish wingback chairs I got at a consignment store, and put them at the ends of my table in the last house. They looked fabulous but did take up a lot of room. They were also fairly impractical because actually too low for sitting at a DR table. But since nobody ever used the DR table, it was purely for looks. My point is, yes, you could use a pair of upholstered arm chairs there, so long as they go with your existing chairs. It seems like whatever you put there has to have a very plain simple back because the backs of your side chairs have a lot of movement. Being sort of stuck in my own style (18th century QA and Chippendale) I have no idea what kind of exposed wood backs would go with them, other than something that was a decent match....See MoreNew airbnb look AMAZING - need ideas
Comments (7)The walls and beams are so beautiful, you don't need a ton else because they add so much texture and interest to the space. I would get indoor-outdoor rugs. Easiest to clean and you don't have to worry if there is ever water damage. Let the pattern in your space reside in these rugs. Get a runner for the kitchen, one to define the dining area, and one to define the living room area. Pull the sofas out from the wall by a few feet. Float them on a rug. Use a big upholstered ottoman as a coffeetable. Get one with storage - a good place to stash extra pillows, bedding, whatever. I'd put one interesting picture on the wall in the kitchen above the sink. A large horizontal rectangular piece - something abstract that is either black and white or earthtones. It will photograph well in listing pictures. Do you have counter stools in mind? I'd be thoughtful about what looks good in the space and doesn't clash too much with the dining room chairs. The dining room chairs are fine and functional but don't mesh with the rest of the furnishings in my mind....See MoreBarbara Davis
