Coffee table and other decorative suggestions welcome
Comments (2)With all the dark colors your room looks gloomy rather than light and inviting. I'd suggest a different (and definitely larger rug), one more in keeping with the feel of this room. An Oriental with red and blue colors, in addition to other colors, would look fabulous against the warm floor color. Choose a glass and metal coffee table to show off the gorgeous rug and then a wooden end table or perhaps even two, since you badly seem to need some lighting (but not harsh overhead lighting). I agree, we need to see the whole room to advise you further. It appears you need more furniture to place against that empty wall, perhaps even another couch if the wall is a long one....See Moresuggestions welcome!
Comments (10)I wouldn't worry too much about the fence-it looks like it will weather to match the rest (unless it is painted, but it doesn't look like it in that last photo. I think you are have used some interesting and lovely plants. I might be concerned about some trees being too close together as they mature, though. Again, hard to tell from the photos. What I would do is add large plants (including trees or things that can grow 10 feet in a pot before needing to be moved to the ground) on the deck. That would block the view of the house and potted things should not violate the HOA rules since they are not permanent. Good start!...See MorePlease help me keep new gardenia alive -all tips & suggestions welcome
Comments (1)Here's what it looks like. The root appear healthy and plentiful growing out of the holes at the bottom. The roots are pot bound, not too severely though. There are at least four plants in there. Considering root rot is usually the culprit, keeping it root bound and not potting up appears to be a wise choice. There is rice hull mulch at the top. I think the challenge will be to give it enough humidity and keep it in a sunny but cool but not too cool place until it gets warmer outside....See MoreSuggestions welcome
Comments (3)Hi bekkalu - I think your room is very pretty and relaxing. I have lived in earthquake country for many years and don’t ever put anything over the bed. Your bed is a beautiful statement by itself. I’m certainly no pro, but what bothers me a bit are the six prints on the adjacent wall. Somehow it seems too much. I’d reduce to four prints, even though they’re lovely. Just my first impression. It’s a minor thing in a very nice space....See MoreValerie Crow
