Comments (12)I put my Pterostyrax in the ground as a rooted cutting barely 1-foot tall in probably... 2008. It is now at least 15 feet tall, I think. It looks to me like the new shoots every year are up to 4 feet long. So at the early stages, I'd have to say "fast." This is with good soil and pretty adequate water. Since it is not described as a large tree, I imagine that the growth rate slows eventually. Mine has a very clear tendency to a single leader, and a single trunk; definitely a tree, not a shrub. The flowers are actually quite subtle in real life both in looks and fragrance, but the leaves make up for it (I'm a foliage person anyway, so at least I think so). The branch structure is lovely, very straight branches and consistent angles. It's also very tidy. The leaves stay on quite late into fall, don't do much colour changing, and then they're gone quite quickly. Granted, it's not above a deck so I might be missing something. I don't know how big crepes get but I have to agree with Ink that from the perspective you've shown, a variety of canopy shape would look more appealing than three all the same. And incidentally, what would allow them to grow bigger is the relief from root competition of the pears, probably not sun alone. I could also recommend Heptacodium, except it may be a problem with respect to bees. For me the fact that it attracts bees is a good thing, but might not be ideal on a deck. Mind you, in my yard the tree is close to the front porch and I can't say we have a bee problem. But again, this might be a smaller tree. I have a bunch of young trees so in terms of long term experience I am not very useful. But I also enjoy my Parrotia.

Comments (2)The same material as the counter isn't an option since the counters are installed and we don't have enough left over. The veining wouldn't work out too well either that way.

Comments (19)The shelves on the left will have baskets to hide most of the stuff. Like I said, we just rearranged. Each of my kids has a cabinet and the open shelves work well for them for now. I'd love it if I could have doors on everything. That said, I don't think leaving the door off the closet will work for me, even though I know it's the easiest option! I think I will go with second easiest and just get a tension rod for curtains. I'll play with tie backs and curtain lengths and post a picture when I figure out what I like.

Comments (13)If you don't like the portico roof/shelter over the front door, would you prefer more or less of a roof or none -- even an actual porch? https://www.pinterest.com/pin/673640056733636097/ Personally like large wide front porches but this style home usually (but always) has only a portico. https://www.google.com/search?q=front+portico+for++two+story+brick+home&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjL-LfT8v_oAhUMRFMKHT7tCugQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=front+portico+for++two+story+brick+home&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQDDoCCAA6BAgAEEM6BQgAEIMBOgYIABAIEB46BAgAEBhQ8NoGWIC1B2DuyQdoAHAAeACAAZgBiAHEG5IBBDMyLjeYAQCgAQGqAQtnd3Mtd2l6LWltZ7ABAA&sclient=img&ei=xz6iXov5F4yIzQK-2qvADg&bih=654&biw=1366&client=firefox-b-1-d#imgrc=nWkbZbU02JbqrM...See MoreMatthew Davis
