Need entry way plant suggestions :o)
Comments (9)What about 2-3 truly wonderful pots - 2 smaller ones to the left of the door and one big one to the right- planted with a lime or yellow coleus, salmon impatiens, purple torenia, and a cascade of lysimachia nummularia don't know its common name)? After frost, you could remove the blackened plants and using the soil in the pots as anchor, "artfully" arrange some greens and some berried branches and string with some small Christmas tree lights. As for the area in front of the pots, I'd look around for plants that flower at different times but with great colorful foliage in at leats 3 seasons. Hostas now come in many beautiful colors and color combinations and a few have white flowers that smell like gardenia (usually in August here). Coral bells too, like the 'Lime Rickey' already mentioned, and 'Amber Waves' and 'Marmalade'can add season-long interest. Color from foliage has the advanatge of not having to be deadheaded and not attracting bees and their potential stings. Not very helpful flowerwise, but whatever you do have fun with it....See MoreWhat "art" would you hang on these entry-way walls?
Comments (33)How about some elegant black iron scroll work? There are scads of varieties and they are often the perfect solution for a wall that needs that certain "something". (The photos are from my home.) I recommend choosing art that a) reflects your interests and b) makes you happy every time you see it. You said you can't your hang travel visas and martinis, but why not? You could frame your travel visas and arrange them under a large matte. For the martinis, you could either buy a painting or print of them or literally frame some martini classes in a shadow box. You might also consider vintage travel posters from places you love or that you've already been to. Your home is very nice!...See MoreEntry way lighting suggestions

Comments (1)I think a bench with no back would work better with your gallery wall. Right now the back of the bench is competing with it, and it makes it seem like the bench is too small....See Moredoc5md
