But I understand sometimes you just want something new. You could try adding a lumbar pillow to chair, maybe in a striking color, in a velvet fabric. Maybe a deep plum/eggplant or even purple.

Comments (5)One of those sunshades might work, but for me the BBQ has a lot of smoke and its already close to both houses, so if you cover that area I think you might get a lot of smoke build up. The sun shade might be a good option as it would still allow air flow. https://a.co/d/3U7BU1O...See MoreNeed help with front entrance, please.
Comments (2)Karen, I'd be bothered by that gap too. If you do replace the steps, I'd extend them all the way to the side wall if possible. If you don't replace the steps, maybe replace the existing brown lantern/pot(?) with something brighter, maybe a container planting on a pedestal, with an uplight beneath it so it's not a black hole at night? A tree with uplighting would be lovely, but I can't think of any species that would be narrow enough for the space and not so tall that it would obstruct your mailbox. Bringing the steps all the way out to the garage would look positively massive… I think you probably don't want to do that. You also probably wouldn't want to create a puddle at the bottom of your steps. You should be able to install a drain inlet beneath the downspout that could run beneath the walkway and out into the landscaping, with a "pop up" outlet at the end of the run. Talk with a licensed landscape contractor about that—they can determine where the best location would be for the outlet, and how to build the system....See MoreIs the sectional too big for wall or does it help define the entryway?
Comments (19)It’s something you could live with, perhaps with adjustments as discussed, but it really IS a “ mistake” if it was ordered by a designer for your room (as opposed to if someone gave you the sectional for free , and it was part of helping you start enjoying sitting in your room while you saved up or attended to other projects). Soooo, if have reservations about it and are re- thinking the size, or even whether a sectional, and would like a do- over, it’d be worth expressing real dissatisfaction, not taking the guff about “ defining the space, and push for free return, or a negotiated cost. The other thing is, gos do you really like to sit anc watch TV? I see trying to seat 4-6 people squished, and anyone with a beverage had to jackknife to the coffee table. I personally love side tables, even if tiny, or C tables. Or at least for some of those seated. And some lamps for layered lighting. So you can’t have anything like that when the seating takes up every inch....See Moreneed ideas/help to update entry doors & transom
Comments (6)" is there a way to tie the window and doors together without having to cut concrete? " No. I do not think that is concrete but there is definitely a header between the door and the round top unit. You "could" reframe the entire wall, redo the interior and exterior finishes but then you would be stuck with the fact that the round top is narrower than the door unit and will look awful set on top. Leave well enough alone until you save enough to get rid of the round top and the double door....See More

And I might paint your door a darker color (Kendall Charcoal) and remove the mini blind.
