help! need ideas for rug under couch
Comments (8)I agree with kulrn about not having a rug under the dining table. Or, if you want something there, maybe a faux zebra rug or something else not square. I wouldn’t use it anywhere — in my opinion the colors are too cool and don’t mix, or contrast, well in there. (Pretend your rug isn’t there, just the zebra): _________________________ _________________________ Here are kulrn’s first two rugs; I wasn’t able to do the third. I like these a lot. ____________________________ ____________________________ Some more suggestions to get an idea of what direction (style, color, etc) you want to go. I think with the rest of your decor and room elements, you need to have colors compatible with both warm and cool tones. Same rug turned other way: ____________________ ____________________ Actual close-up of rug above ... it doesn’t mock-up well at all. ____________________________ ____________________________ Adding some color ... ________________________ ________________________ I like this one, too, but it doesn't have a mock-up option:...See MoreHelp need ideas for curb appeal for my modern midcentury ranch
Comments (15)I would change the siding to horizontal (to echo the lines of your house - I think vertical just would not look right except a small area around the front door to set it off) When you re-side, look at adding a little bit wider framing around the door and windows. You will want to paint the trim, downspouts, gutters all the same color - black would look good, white will work also. Pick a bold color for your front door (storm door too) although black is good there also. For sure, take out all those shrubs. It looks like you could keep the stone walls, but perhaps add a smooth top, like large cement look pavers. Or if it is even possible, once all the other changes are made and then you don't think the stone looks right, add a cement paver facing to the front of the wall. Low growing, ground cover juniper or similar evergreens would look good behind the wall. What am I seeing at foundation level on the house? Are those windows?...See MoreHelp!

Comments (5)It's a fact ... you'll not be able to get rid of the mess until you create a permanent, hard walk where there is now mulch. The magnolia roots are going to make it harder, but it must be done if there is to be a cure. I agree with others that something like concrete (simplest and cheapest) or pavers/brick are suitable. A walk laid out to acknowledge the tree will look and work better than one that doesn't. The bench only makes sense if there is a way to get to it ... i.e., use it. But because of Magnolia roots, it would add a lot of difficulty extending the walk to the bench. Therefore, I'd recommend using the bench elsewhere and having only plantings at the front of the house. Consider using a groundcover like Asiatic Jasmine to cover the magnolia roots....See MoreHelp!

Comments (5)What's with the yellow?? I neutralized that as much as I could, though its reflections remain! For the fountain, just a circle of nice pots set right on the concrete could work. Or maybe dry-lay a brick or paver circular platform around (not under) the fountain and set the pots on that, so the arrangement looks more intentional and makes a better visual base? I'd make the platform as large as possible while still leaving reasonable walk space. Paver circle kits are available for purchase (blocks already tapered/fitted to the shape), though a bit pricey. Maybe also try masonry stain to make the fountain itself a more neutral color?...See MoreNorwood Architects
