What do you think about this layout? What should I use for edging?
Comments (17)semi-circular extension of patio is an element I took from your plan. I don't know what it is, but it only made sense to me if it was an extension of paving. I'm not suggesting you add paving you don't need. (If the grey semi-circle in your plan represents gravel, that is just a softer form of paving.) You are the one deciding what it is and where it is. I'm just trying to make guesses that keep up with you. Mowed grass is the de facto path for areas that are accessed infrequently. There are a few (very few) groundcovers that might stand up to fairly infrequent use if grass is not desired. But part of the equation depends on cultural conditions present: light/moisture/soil, etc. For areas that need frequent access, some kind of non-plant material (paving) must be used. You could say you're "not happy" with something. But if you don't say exactly WHY, then it's impossible to help work toward overcoming the objections. As I mentioned at the outset, it was difficult to interpret the plan because it is not spelled out what things are. One cannot get sense of how elements are, or should, fit together. It would be helpful to label anything that is not plants, even if it is very generic. Whatever shape represents a plant material, assign a height value to it (height when it is mature.) I suggest using a scheme where mowed grass is +0 and all other plants are +whatever-their-height-in-feet-is. If we knew this, the intent and direction of the plan might be easier to figure out....See MoreWhat do you think about this green ❤️

Comments (3)I agree. Remove the planter shelf and place the tv on the console. I'd get the sectional and an upholstered matching ottoman from Ikea. You can use the ottoman as a coffee table or push it up to the sofa for an added chaise effect. The Uppland Link has innerspring seat cushions and a removable washable cover.

Comments (16)I had the pleasure of sitting next to an astrophysicist on a flight to London one time...poor fellow...I kept him up all night with all my questions about the Universe. I asked him if he thinks there are aliens. He said absolutely, but he didn't believe they were here. He said the spaces in the Universe are so large, it would be like an atom on one wing of the plane finding a specific atom on the other wing of the plane. For one to find us and to be at such space and time and level of development where we could interact would be darn near impossible. I have a tough time fathoming the distances in the Universe. One concept that has helped me is the fact that our nearest galaxy ... Andromeda ... and ours are on a collision course as they are moving towards each other. They have modeled the expected interaction of the two galaxies and have found that even with each containing billions of stars, the spaces between are so large, they don't expect any stars to actually collide. Stunning....See Morenicole___
