Redo steps/landing, add front deck?
Comments (1)Pretty straight forward. Jack Hammer the steps out. Build the deck....See MoreFront entryway and landscaping HELP!
Comments (6)I would take out everything in front of the window (especially the two anchor shrubs that are too big and don’t look healthy) and do a sweeping, curved bed from the corner of the sidewalk to the corner of the house. I’d do a mixture of shrubs, perennials, grasses, and/or annuals ... with a bench, birdbath, our native Tx stones, or something else decorative for interest. There are lots of plants that would love the dappled Texas shade. Local nurseries (not big box stores) should be good resources to get advice and ideas for his exact area. I’d get rid of the low palm, it needs more sun and looks like it got winter damaged. Maybe move it? The front door looks nice, I wouldn’t paint it. For the front door area, he could do plants for color, or grasses if he likes a more monochromatic look. Extend the plantings around to the garage. I really like the atrium-look plants there give. Impatiens, Caladiums, Liriope: Mexican Feather Grass: This is a lame mock-up, not the surface, color, or design I’d use, but wanted to show an idea if he widened the walkway. My app choices are limited. :) Only my opinion, but I like keeping beds there better, to soften up and add interest to all the hard surfaces. Usually I’m all for widening walks, but in this case, I think it’s too much hardscaping for this particular area. He might prefer it to beds, though....See MoreHELP - ENTRYWAY/FRONT PORCH NEEDS MUCH HELP
Comments (9)So I would absolutely keep the rug. I would do a cooler color on the wall like a gray green or gray blue. Get a runner to go between the doors that coordinates with your existing rug. I would add real baseboards but if you can’t just paint a 4” wide white band above what you have to fake it. Add a narrow console table with an open decorative front to hide the air conditioner. Paint the door to the house charcoal gray. I found these curtain panels that to me could mimic artwork to hide the vertical blinds. Then add a seating are there. Keep the bench and mirror as is. I don’t have photoshop so excuse my poor mockups lol....See MoreFiberglass entryway front door
Comments (6)I installed a fiberglass Provia door in my house in Virginia Run (pictures below). It was a little pricey but I think well worth it. Even up close you can’t tell it wasn’t wood. We actually did the inside a different wood tone. I had gotten so many complements on it too! I recently moved and miss that door and can’t wait to change my current door. I’m also a Realtor in the area. Greenbriar is a sought out neighborhood, so I would feel confident in spending a little more in improvements if I owned there....See MoreMolly Shriver-Blake
