Just can't decide what to do with these spaces in my front yard
Comments (2)The magnolia was the most worthwhile addition, as it breaks up the front of the house (in the view shown). Truth be told, there are a dozen things I would change, starting with the balls marching up to the one undersized window right in the middle, and emphasizing it. Anyway, if you like daylilies try to get some evergreen ones like garden centers get from Monrovia nursery as these may be more tidy of leaf than the ones that die down each fall. Your existing garden is so tidy I think you might be bothered by the sloppiness of those in the latter category. Otherwise, maybe get more of the successful red rose and plant those where the existing one is. Make your own from fall cuttings of the specimen you have already if you have to. The creeping junipers look like they have picked up that blight they get and may now go on to die out, giving you a new space for a big sweep of daylilies or some other change. You might want to bring in a designer or consultant to review the existing plantings and tell you how you can make the garden more like what you want. And since, as is often the case the front of the house is not symmetric you should think about discontinuing the matching, evenly spaced pairs of trees and formalizing maintenance shearing of the trees and shrubs. Formal shearing and symmetric balance don't go with asymmetric architecture of your house....See MoreWhat Would You Do - Gold Medal?
Comments (17)My goodness, I don't recall GM ever being that pink when I grew it up north so I was about to ask you if your rose was indeed GM. ;-) BTW, do you spray it regularly with fungicides? Your rose looks very clean. I've been hestitating about getting it here in Florida because I'd rather not spray (which is the reason why I'm only growing teas and chinas here, for now...)....See MoreCan't decide if I like these mirrors. What do you think?
Comments (10)Agree with the "send them back" folks. Larger decorative mirrors might work, to reflect some of the light coming in the room, but also consider what else would be reflected in them (I've seen magazine photos of mirrors that are tilted on a mantel, say, reflecting the ceiling, or a mirror reflecting only a painted wall). The inspiration photo shows a nice balanced look -- is that what you're looking for, or something specifically with mirrors?...See MoreI'm considering replacing the DR fixture. Would you help me decide?
Comments (11)linelle - I looked into that. The website says it uses 5 - 40 watt bulbs, which happens to be exactly what I have in my current fixture. I probably get more light from the open glass shades on the current fixture, but I generally have the lighting dimmed, so it should be okay.......I think. :) No way to really know until it's installed, I guess....See MoreBoxerpal
