Can’t get a sense of how deep the space is at top of landing to the wall between the 2 doors straight ahead. If it’s deep enough to allow something on floor, it would be nice to have a more dramatic view there. I’m thinking a small console table piece with a dramatically framed mirror above it to fill the wall space from console top to door frame casing top. Maybe metal the same color finish as the hanging light over the stairs. Where the wreath is I’d hang much larger art, something with color & again, framed in metal to match the mirror & hanging light,

ETA - maybe crown molding too? Only if you have some downstairs

I've been manually pollinating them.. it gets some decent wind where I'm at.. and the temps haven't been hot at all. Between 75-85 every day for weeks now. Some of the flowers look sterile, like sometimes i'll manually pollinate them and i can see pollen coming off the flower, sometimes nothing comes off. It's in a pot so it does sit in between some other peppers..

Looking for ideas on how to update this small shed style 70s home, siding is new hardie plank with aluminum shutters , definitely needs a new roof and any other ideas are welcome. I'm stuck and can't think of anything. Considering a matte standing seam roof but also thought about should a porch be added over the front door. Thinking of removing louver shutter spacers perhaps or black windows. Different paint color maybe. I'm stuck for how to improve the exterior. Considering painting the fence black as well or a metal frame fence with wood slats. Thanks for any opinions.

I imagine you can take out those fluorescent panels (?) and replace with drywall and a cute small chandelier or semi-flush fixture. Maybe look for that first, and use it as a guide in choosing finish and/or look for cabinet hardware. I like the idea of semiflush to keep from blocking the view.

Is the plant real? Because it's not getting any natural light (unless artificial) and it looks like it doesn't belong there. As for the wall directly infront of the stairs, it looks fine left alone. That picture frame is placed too high. I feel for you though because my own house has wall switches and electrical outlets in the worst places. If you really want to add something, I'd add a very very slim console table that would fit between the door jambs. Put rattan box(es) under it to hide the electricity and to store any items. Above it I would create a mirror with mirror squares. It might look nice with some mosaic squares too in different sizes that way you can "create a mirror" around that pesky light switch.

@Cheryl Brown The second photo helps. If you place a table in that spot it would need to be very narrow - check Wayfair & Overstock for lots of choices of small pieces 12” in depth. You just need something to ground the mirror or art hung on that wall. Maybe look for a white piece that plays off all the casing trim & stair spindles.

Something similar to any of these. Thin mirror and the irregular shaped mirror can fit directly in the middle, not being affected by the light switch. The mirror squares are versatile. You can put a tall skinny vase on the console, flanking the mirror. I thought this console was beautiful, fits your space and has a Wow factor .

Suggestions depend on the style of your interiors. From the existing, I'd assume 'Country' style. Is that what you have currently and is that what you intend?

The interior door style could be considered French. You could change the appearance of the hallway by painting the doors. See examples below.

Also that chandelier needed to be replaced 20 years ago. Select a larger more dramatic chandelier.
