New loft Friday!! Need some ideas please :)
Comments (9)Thanks for all of the quick feedback! I am thinking for my bedroom area that I might just get like an 8x10 all white shag rug to place under my bed. The wood floors are very rich and dark so I think the white would add a nice contrast. Then do a bedspread that is predominantly black, maybe with some type of white pattern on it. Do you guys know of a good place to find good deals on modern bedding, rugs, prints, etc?? Everything I find online is unbelievably expensive. I found one place that had chairs that looked like something I sat in back in kindergarten and they were like 900 bucks...lol I want to be patient with this project and find what I want. With my current apt I was happy with the outcome, but it didn't turn out as modern as I had planned. Live and learn!...See MorePlease Help! I just bought a new home and need ideas on exterior!
Comments (13)Maybe the door would be good in red? But I always think that. Still.... Or how about a teal or soldier blue door? It's a cute, cute house. Maybe that horizontal rod going across the storm door is removable. I've had storms like that. If you could take the cross piece off, it would let the nice wood door show better. And the light that awmo3 posted would look great on your house. A variegated red-twig dogwood would be good, maybe on the left hand corner. They have nice bright red stems in the winter. (Oh-oh....there I go again with the red.) I'm in zone 4. My dogwoods are the nicest color I can have in the winter. Otherwise it's pretty blah in the middle of winter. You might also consider some Annabelle hydrangeas. They are so pretty in the summer and have a nice old-fashioned look. If you want to, you can leave the big pom-pom flowers on all winter and cut them back in the early spring. The blooms turn rusty brown color and it gives you something out there in the winter. And also one or two small evergreen shrubs would be nice out there so you have some dark green color during the winter. Then plant some daylillies and some asiatic lillies for summer color. If you expand those planting beds out a ways so they are deeper, and make them a curvy shape, that will add to the look too. If you leave the stained porch as it is, you could get some golden or medium brown cedar mulch for the garden and that will tie the porch color into the landscaping....See MoreNeed some new ideas!

Comments (40)Sorry, been away! Mark - we presently have the master at the front of the house. Only because there is a very small view from there. I am going to look critically at your image though and see if some of the adjustments are an improvement on what we have if we were to flip it over. I did discuss the idea of adjusting the stairs with my husband, and he didn't like the idea despite the square footage potential. Most houses around us are set up like the ones in our version. Not sure why... He adamantly did not like the visual of a run of stairs when entering the house. Oh well! :)...See MorePLANTS - Need some ideas on new Plants!! Help!!!
